I don't know about my fellow soccer customers from other countries, but I don't think I ever heard a pundit here talk about anything politics
Also probably because there is too much to talk about soccer already
I pity you American sports customers, I really pity you.

Well, there is Gary Lineker, the insufferable twat

And actually Lineker is exactly the same phenomenon isn't he? Football in Britain was never political, but Lineker is such a pompous lefty twat that he has ruined it for everybody.

Hard to say, but this guy is making a killing by being the only anti-left voice out there.

Literally tweeting black crime stats right now, the absolute madman.

>American sports journalism
Pretty much all journalism is like this in the U.S now.

As a filmmaker, film & tv journalism is sickening.

that second article was good, well-reasoned read. thanks OP

I have no idea who that is, but if he's tweeting black crime stats then that's a good thing

Yes but it's shocking that it's reaching sports

Over here we have a guy called Gary Lineker who commentates on football - he used to be someone that many of us would consider an accomplished former player, but he has now taken a turn into leftist politics, and a lot of people think he's a twat because of it

I didn't actually read it, couldn't be arsed, but it looked interesting

Not sports go back to your containment board.

it's mostly a burger thing, even when watching handegg this week the spanish commentors avoided the kneeling issue as much as possible and were mostly focused in the game, politics are never brought up in spanish sports broadcasting in general

gee, i wonder why people hated communists in 1930s America. my liberal brain is far too distracted by negro porn to come up with an answer.

>sports journalism isn't sports

Try not being so butthurt next time

Consider this. I entered college as a Journalism major way back in 2009, but after learning about how much of a near cult it was, it pretty much gave up my dream of being a sportswriter. I wrote for sports in the school newspaper and back then, the people I looked up to didn't inject a clear agenda in their articles. Until I was told that there were necessary and unnecessary biases in the craft, which pretty much made me lose more and more interest in the art. That said, I am positive that there are still some right of center writers who probably don't use a political agenda in their writing, but their work is largely ignored and won't get the easy shekels that its leftist alter ego would. But these articles are correct, there really are more and more communist types in the media because it's the new hip, it's in, it was seen as revolutionary in the conservative beforetime and now with the social revolution, it became the new normal. With how ingrained its become, simply defying will cost you a job I bet. It's really sad to see it this way. And I wonder what I would have become if I sucked myself into what my professors in college have said. I didn't go that route though.

>by being the only anti-left voice out there.
Your President

In sports journalism, you mong.

>play sports as kid
>lots of different kids from various cultures, backgrounds, income brackets play too based on their love of said sport
>get long with everyone unless they were an asshole
>continue playing sports
>grow up
>turn out to be a non-angsty Sup Forums virgin trying to start online race wars

Makes you think

no one cares cuck

Is this the "b-o-o-b-s" guy

>Sup Forums is now invading Sup Forums

Do they have any shame?

>here's how it happened
>liberals submitted their writings to sports publicans, and it was better than conservative writing
>so it became a liberal thing, as they were more fit

T, inbred

100% sure that's not how it works. It's because of what constitutes for "cutting edge." Not necessarily what is better or what is not. The craft of journalism is about shock and sensation.

no one cares cuck

The reason is because journalism is leftist and people who think differently aren't retained.

An extreme and easy-to-follow example is when Gawker was dismantled. The writers weren't fired, they were simply pushed to the other Gawker Media sites, so Deadspin got in (and still has) writers who were previously writing articles like how small Hulk Hogan's cock is.

I think it's because liberals are the most likely to blur the lines between their liberal beliefs and their profession
Every fucking comedian is a liberal propagandist

Yes.

He got thrown off CNN for joking that he liked boobs, but they're showing nothing but Playboy bunnies today since Hefner died.

It's only natural: the culture wars have invaded sports.

Wouldn't call Bill Burr a Leftist desu (which is what you probably meant by "Liberal")

At best the exception to the rule

Louis CK is also quite politcally incorrect in his stand-up shows oftentimes desu

I think he's the only white American comedian who I ever heard saying "nigger" and getting away with it

But he did speak out against Trump IIRC

>being this insecure

What professions are not full of liberals?

>football was never political
>there are ((((literally)))) clubs all across Europe that exist based on political and socioeconomic differences

Holy shit what a dumbass

>cucked

I don't think black dudes fucking your gf was it, I think it's more that the Conservative party in the U.S. has been corrupted until it's racist as fuck. Stop being racist, you can get back into acceptable social norms.

Have a nice day.

Spotted the lefty. Fuck off back to leftypol, thanks.

The police.

Oh look he's posted again. Your containment board isn't here, fuck off.

He's gotten bad lately
Even before Trump was elected really

>entire argument is dismantled
>"fuck off, faggot."

Quality exchange.

Sad to see what a joke bill Simmons has become.

>entire cuckold genre of porn invented by fat white dudes with goatees and southern accents that have blonde, fake titty wives that look like Real Housewives of Nashville
>literally hundreds of thousands of videos exist on millions of porn sites
>Conservatives call everyone "cucks" that don't agree with them

Really makes you think

You raised a bunch of irrelevant politics stuff because you're a little bit butthurt.

What a shame.

his interview with Charlize Theron was a train wreck, she called him out for being unprepared.

He's always been that type of bugman.

>yes my fellow white people, let me paint you a mental image of Smashmouth with goatees and a southern city name to blame for my degenerate creation
>remember, vote blue and donate often!
>t. Rabi Shmule Hebrewitz

>being a cuckold is a conservative thing
lmao ok champ

>t. grew up in a suburban school where he only interacted with the magical 10% and driving through a ghetto would be as foreign to him as walking on mars
