Does anyone even still watch ESPN after this whole "kneeling" bullshit? Just saw it on in our company cafe and all it they are talking about is Fucking politics now.

Did trump break them that badly? The black dude who says "disrespectful" was trying to argue about how the "brothers" know the most about police "injustice" and basically said the "brother's" who go yhrpifh it know more and more should listen to them.

Jesus, how have they not completely collapsed and gone out of business by now?

you seem to have goon to the wrong place this is a immagebaord not kikebook

The Fuck you talking about Swede?

You underestimate how many people care about sports more than politics or patriotism.

This has nothing to do with patriotism or the first amendment, this is about the fact cops kill a lot of people, black and white, because our streets are full of guns, cops are terrified, and some are drunk with power.

What? People are sick of politics in sports. I bet you ESPN will continue to sink in ratings if they continue this road. Was about 15 minutes of just talking about kneeling and such.

JESUS Christ you paste that from reddit or kikebook? Word for word what I have read before.

Liberals want to support brave PoC athletes but don't want to actually watch or hear about sports

>Jesus, how have they not completely collapsed and gone out of business by now?

When you're on cable it doesn't actually matter if you have people watching. It's not like you can tell your cable company you don't want ESPN anymore and cancel it

>being so thin-skinned you can't watch sports because of a pre-game sideshow

Faggots.

>yhrpifh
convfefe; amirite?

no ,nobody does.. I myself got rid of cable tv years ago.. never looked back..

>being so thin-skinned you can't go through the pre-game show without making it a circus

Yeah, ESPN is dead to me, for years now.

Heard many reports of calls to cancel it after the kneeling fiasco.

I know they have been in a decline for awhile but did Trump make the push for a killing blow?

>From 2015 to 2017, ESPN has seen its number of subscribers fall 7.4% to fewer than 88 million. Its ratings have faced an even steeper decline, with average total viewers falling 19.2% from 2014 to 2016. Wall Street has noticed. After Disney CEO Bob Iger acknowledged this week that affiliate deals covering more than half of ESPN’s subscriber base are set to expire in 2019, analyst Michael Nathanson wrote, “We are concerned about the poor ratings trends at ESPN and ABC,” the company’s broadcast network. John Janedis of Jefferies similarly wrote, “weak ratings at ABC and ESPN’s non-live-sports programming continue to weigh on [advertising].”

Because that's why they originally protested.

You guys just keep changing the subject because you don't want to acknowledge racism is a part of America, even while you go around making fun of niggers.

You are the fucking problem with America. You are the ones who are happy to insult POWs and gold star families.

You are the people who don't give a shit.
You are the nigger living the good life that you don't deserve

>yhrpifh

But what did he mean by this?

This is some quality bait friendo

But it's their show you dim faggot. You're just a spectator.

Watching sports is the equivalent of watching some dude play video games. Worthless.

Means I type too fast or have autism

Can someone tell a non-football fan what's going on?

Why is kneeling such a big deal? What do the normies feel about it?

not so much a football thing as it is an anti american thing.

like if everyone stood up to pledge allegiance back in elementary school and one kid refused to stand up and say it.

They do this at most sporting events baseball, basketball, football.

I thought that was the new bastardization of Trump.

yhrpifh prompfyhf

mfw
>no one is listening to your bullshit anymore
>you have made yourself irrelevant by turning everything you touch to shit
>and no one wants you around

Good luck arguing that to normies

I mean....IT IS.

DONT THINK ABOUT IT JUST PUSH IT THROUGH

Why should we care about black people when they don't even care about themselves user?

I have been watching you. You are one of the good ones

Goddamn thanks I knew NFL was declining and didn't realize it's just as bad as ESPN.


AND IM FREEEEEEEE
FREE FALLINNNNNNN

>This has nothing to do with patriotism
Then why do it during the national anthem? If they just wanted to protest against a perceived slight then they could've easily chosen a different way to protest.

We are going to die then cause liberal media is not going to change. Even with Trump being elected they just double down, so much so that they don't care how many times they are caught lying.

But the democrats...that's a different story.

NFL players keep getting arrested -- many of them are criminals.

NFL = National Felon League

ESPN has been in decline for 10+ years. Their anchors used to be sports guys. Right around the time they got the NBA contract, they started hiring entertainers and broadcasters, not sports people. The majority of the shitbags they have on there now no nothing about the sports or players they are covering. They just read of a prompter. It's only been recently they've gone full retard on the political stuff. They're just as arrogant as the other networks. They think people actually give a fuck and will be influenced by what their anchor's political stance is.

I have a black friend and his argument for this is that

>it's peaceful
>non-violent
>blacks can't protest the streets so their is no right way to protest
>excuse about racism against blacks cause they were brought here unwillingly by whites
>blacks are unfairly targeted by the cops and the "only way" people listen is if they protest something that causes conversation.

They consider this a win just because "it gets people talking" so they think Colin already made a impact

...or, a complete bottom up change occurs where those who survive become some very strong willed individuals. love 'em or hate 'em, Russians and Ukrainians share a commonality in that they are some strong individuals (no BS). strong wills, stoicism, survival skills, take no prisoners/take no BS approach to life, etc.... Were they "out of the woods" of Communist Bolshevism. we might see a greater attraction of Whites to that region who share the trad approach to deconstructing all that is wrong; specifically, the Globalist influence(s). What you are seeing now, is the delineation between National Interests v. Globalist interests. Communism is Globalism. there is a requirement within modern day critical thought which requires the individual to ask of themselves and those who speak openly about politics to frame their arguments into either one or the other (National interests v. Global interests)

thanks! m'kay

Since your familiar with ESPN what do you think this constant talk of politics will do?

I see a bleak future for ESPN

Wrong it's not inherently anti american.
It's a free speech, freedom of expression thing. It's more like flying a distressed flag than burning one.

>blacks were brought here by whites
Perhaps you should inform him that every major slave ship owner was Jewish.

>bleak future for ESPN
Watch this twit ESPN announcer blather on about diversity.

youtube.com/watch?v=9F0f013sLIo

it's complicat

>blacks can't protest the streets so their is no right way to protest
There is a right way to protest. As a matter of fact, freedom of assembly and freedom of speech is a protected right.
>They consider this a win just because "it gets people talking" so they think Colin already made a impact
If the goal is simply to get people talking then it would be much more impactful to simply refuse to play.

I cut the cord years ago and no longer watch any channels.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of criticism, trump and the fans are allowed to voice displeasure.

I stopped watching a few years ago and this was exactly why. If people want politics, they're watching FoxNews or MSNBC. Nobody wants to hear that shit when they tune in to catch hilights from last night's games. The more political ESPN gets, the more they'll alienate people. It's already started.

ESPN viewers are the absolute lowest form of human life. 90% of them have a 70-85 IQ and I'm not memeing.

So no, they're not going to change the channel.

I said this before he says protest with violence works. No joke it's a herd mentality, they all view themselves as victims and keep using slavery as their crutch. Then start bullshit about systematic racism. They don't give a fuck about right to protest or laws, they believe they are shaking the system up even when destroying their town. It's all about "starting a conversation" to them and think that by "any means" is the only way. They assume systematic racism does not give them a voice so they have to be heard. It's idiotic.

>watching nigger collision
Blacked.

>Haven't paid for cable in 8 years.

It's bretty good desu

Doesn't matter he considers Jews white and even if he doesn't he says that whites are still the ones who go down in history and kept it going the longest. Says America was built on slaves to.

It's not just about trump. He's just the tub O' lard that broke the camels back.

What does ESPN have to do with sports players kneeling during the national anthem?

ESPN is owned by Disney, so it's jew propaganda. Nothing more.

>gamersgate woke a sleeping nerd army into the realities of politics and the world around them
>9/11 woke a sleeping giant into the realities of politics and the world around them
>mfw the NFL is about to do the same to sleepy normies
oh boy this should be fun

>You're just a spectator.
Not anymore.

You have obviously dont watch it either its been like that since obamas forst term

Good job catching up

Without customers there isn't money you daft faggot. One cannot exist without the other.

>>blacks are unfairly targeted by the cops

46.7 million blacks in U.S. or 14.5% of the population. Yet 52% of all murders and 54% of all robberies in the U.S. are committed by blacks. So 14.5% of the population is committing more than 50% of the violent crimes. I wonder why they're targeted?

ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/topic-pages/tables/table-21

The black community wants to blame everyone else for their problems rather than looking in the mirror and admitting THEY are the problem. The leader of the free world the last 8 years was a black man so spare me the bullshit that you're limited in this country by the color of your skin.

You're limited because your culture is more concerned with being cool and being a "thug" than educating your youth.

>Why was I born with a silver spoon in my mouth? Because I was taught by my parents that life's a matter of making choices, wherever you are, good or bad, it's because of choices you made.

Why be friends with someone who lacks critical thinking skills and thinks unprovoked violence is the best solution to a problem? Don't you see how that could end badly?

ESPN has dropped covering non-stop sports coverage in favor of both in but talk in about how players have rights to freedom and expressing their ideas and how Trump is wrong and etc. It had it's political moments but now it's just going after Trump after the tweets. Like I said, they are dedicating their talking time that could be used to talk about the stars and games to talk about kneeling, police brutality, systematic racism, etc.

Turn it in right now and I bet you will hear something political or trump related within the span of 10 minutes.

You know as well as I do it wasn't this bad till the kneeling tweet from trump. Its legit turning into CNN

I really dont like Trump taking on Disney. Fucking with them is like fucking with Monsanto. Youre asking to get Kennedy'd.

In would stop watching football but I never started so I cant

>Turn it in right now
No thanks.

Trust me I bring these stats out, if they don't ignore them completely they call it bullshit. They then talk about how all this is because of white people. It doesn't matter how many stats you bring up, even if its the FBI statistics they move the goal post by saying stupid shit like

>who put us in this problem
>racism didn't officially end till the civil rights movements we haven't been free for 200 years (This is when he dials the arguement back to being white people's fault)
and then starts preaching about unfair prison treatment for blacks.
>Then they start bitching about how the cops are out to get them and use bullshit about how they are unfairly targeted vs white Hell they blame ghettos on whites, saying we put them in that situation forcibly.

It always goes back to being whites are the problem or someone else is. They are literally the only race to do it and even the "smart" ones do it. Only ones I see don't do it is the conservative leaning blacks but it's hard to find them. My friend was the exception as he loved trump even though he bitches about BLM being unrepresented. The minute trump took on the kneeling he is now going against him with his other black friends.

I need my degenerate WEED from someone and he wasn't this "WOKE" until after the election. He was in trumps side but Obama paved the way for him to get uppity. Everything is race with him now and he goes fully into sharing nothing but pics we see in pol that we make fun of. Its actually sad cause it's harder to hang out with him each day the more he talks about how white people don't understand racism and shit, I can't even argue anymore he just moved the goal posts every time. He actually really based with understanding women and being American but lately been siding with the bullshit kneeling. He will call libs out for trans bullshit, multiple genders and PC bullshit but it seems like when it comes to blacks he is ALWAYS defending them.

When the time comes, don't act surprised.

So then who cares? Why do you even bother? Let him keep bitching and complaining about the white man and go about your business. You tried to help, he doesn't want to listen then fine, FUCK YOU. Enjoy your vicious cycle of violence and poverty because nothing is changing until niggers come to terms with the fact that it's their own fault.

I never watched ESPN but I will everyday now. Fuck Trump.

I'm doing fine I don't really hang out with him as much since he does some sketchy shit but I still see him alot.

This is what I do now lol just explaining the scenarios to the other user. Occasionally I have to call out the bullshit he reads on Facebook cause of how utterly wrong it is, pic related is something he posted recently.

It has everything to do with patriotism and the communists subverting racial tensions. It's literally in their playbook. LITERALLY. IN. THEIR. PLAYBOOK.

Calm down Colbert

I genuinely hope that when his "sketchy shit" finds it way to you that you remember this conversation. You choose who you associate with, so in some way it will be your fault as well.

The most infuriating part of the Left's outrage is the fact it's mostly based on lies spread by the MSM and corrupt politicians.

I had 1000 tv's running ESPN 24/7. Every time I read somebody say fuck trump, I turn one off.

Stopped watching that shit network long before they gave a Woman of the Year award to a dude.

I visited Russia in 1985 and found exactly this, people rarely watched TV and generally weren't as interested in received entertainment, they preferred to socialise at home.

>They consider this a win just because "it gets people talking"

Talking about how much they hate niggers mainly

I'm amazed that it's gone this far, no doubt it will spread to our sports coverage as well. We had a commentator sacked for calling a soccer player "a big lazy nigger" a few years ago (he thought his mic was off), but that's the only thing I remember.

I don't even have cable. Fuck espn and fuck the NFL.

10 percent drop must be significant.
I hope they keep preaching the same tune until middle age white men stop supporting them all together.
Enjoy jersey sales totally dependent on a poverty stricken inner city market.

They still see a victory even if it pisses people off because "finally it's brining attention to race inequality."

It amazes me the hoops they jump through.

The NFL has been selling itself as Super Patriotic since 9/11. The majority of NFL viewers, about 70% or so, are white working class men who take the whole patriotism thing seriously. To them, standing for the national anthem is a holy ritual. And the teams that kneeled pissed all over that. So that 70% are upset. They're not being loud about it. They're just piling hundreds of dollars in in NFL merchandise into trash cans and burning it. I've seen one retired cop who was a lifelong Steelers fan burn his season tickets. He lit them with a BBQ lighter and tossed them in a bucket saying "end of an era," before walking away. These people feel a deep sense of betrayal and they're done with the NFL. I work at a factory and everyone I work with has declared "I'll never watch another NFL game." They aren't loud about it or dramatic. They simply state it as fact.

Maybe because I'm a faggy young adult, but I've never gave a shit about professional sports. Sure, football, badminton, baseball etc were a fun way to socialize in high school, but ever since I graduated I couldn't give less than a fuck. I'd be more inclined to watch professional Lol or csgo and I don't even play those games. Sports are way too slow and filled to the brim with shitty ads, just so you can make some kikes and their nigger pets filthy rich. If you have a passion for football go out and play it yourself, or at least play Madden with your mates ffs
