    That's the issue, it's a double standard and she wont get suspended. Because people have made it okay to just say this word to everybody, EVERYBODY is a white supremacist. Do you understand why I argue this shit so much? things like this happen. How many fucking times do I need to make it clear I dislike Trump but at the same time calling him a white supremacist with no definitive evidence is just absurd. Makes no sense. Doesn't mean I am defending trump, but people are really taking what white supremacist really means away as well as the word racist. These days you can be both just for having a different opinion as you have seen with me and it's what i fight for, people to change this crazy way of thinking

    Precedent how? These are not the same things. Calling the president a racist isn't the same thing at all.

    Not seeing a double standard in concern of her being fired.

    Well if somebody went on tv and said Obama was a racist, that shit would be shut down real quick, they would be fired immediately. She wont be

    She is paid a healthy salary by ESPN to represent them and talk sports. Saying the president of the united states is a racist has nothing to do with sports. If she wants to talk Trump and racism she should find employment elsewhere.

    No, I really don't understand why you argue "shit so much."

    I know what I am and I know what I'm not, if calmly expressing my opinion makes someone think I'm a white supremacist then that's on them. A lot of people think a lot of things about me that aren't true or factual. I don't really care.

    Just because Dame said it doesn't mean I will follow him blindly and carry his opinion. Dame is my favorite player and somebody I respect a lot. I don't agree with that opinion though

    ESPN isn't a station based solely on sports anymore.
    One of the reasons why I've stopped tuning into them. Wouldn't ever think of espn if not for this website.

    I think I just get caught up in it sometimes, I get in the zone and start arguing but in the back of my head I am like "well, I know what I am, this shit doesn't matter"

    If people wanna get stupid and tell me I am defending these certain groups without evidence then fine, yeah sure I am whatever you want me to be

    All that matters is my girlfriend thinks I am an unstoppable sex machine in the bedroom, throwing it down game of thrones style, trophies and medals hanging in my room while yelling, "I am the greatest alive!!" followed by

    "freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!!!!"

    Nice, you're making choices as a consumer which is what will get ESPN's attention.

    I used to watch ESPN and like them, years and years ago. Simple fact is, I don't even watch their shows, would rather listen to a podcast where people can speak freely about sports and they aren't robots
