Bomani Jones Calls Out Sports Media For Lack of Coverage of Thabo Sefalosha Trial

[Regular_P]

I'm ready for the civil suit.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I'm guessing its cuz the media and the general public don't give a damn about thabo.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

Some of these media outlets need to be boycotted

 

[Vilify]

Whether he's a superstar or not. The story would be much bigger if he was convicted. Funny how it works.

#bluelivesmatter blah blah blah

 

[Originalman]

Crazy cause the general public and media shooooo nuff cared about Chris Henry and Adam Jones getting in trouble.

The reason why nobody wants to touch it in the media is because they don't want to promote racist cops and a black man beating the system. Period.

But his defense? NYPD sees him as another black man in a hoodie . Call'em like you see em brehs

 

[Copy Ninja]

So police brutality is stupid shyt now ?

Post went over your head breh

 

[DonKnock]

These police unions are undoubtedly pressuring media outlets cause they know what a slam dunk case this is against the NYPD. They know they fucced up and they want as little publicity for it as possible before Thabo hangs their asses out to dry in the civil case.

Spread things like this as much as you can yourself because the media has damn near no morals and no accountability.


Bomani, proud that he is from Houston

I swear the number 1 dismissive excuse by white people is always on some "I want to hear about sports not racial issues". Why does talking about race make yall so uncomfortable? Its crazy to me that yall want us to shut up and play our roles to entertain you like puppets but yall don't give a fukk about us away from the court/field. As soon as a racial issue is brought up yall squirm and ready to shout out someone playing a fukking "race card" which doesn't even exist or another excuse to mask the fukked up obvious racial shyt going on. Its on full display throughout this fukking thread. Bomani did the same thing with Donald Sterling 9 years ago before that recording leaked even wrote numerous articles and everything but no one would pick up his stories. All of a sudden audio is picked up and all these ESPN trolls/analyst come out like they breaking the story for the 1st time like its a surprise he was a slumlord racist prick. The only one who gave him acknowledgement was LeBetard.

The old Page 2 article. So when mainstream media picked up on the article they wanted Bomani's input all he did was turn it into a hashtag #aan = Ask A Negroe

I laid it out in another post. Yes he's doing his job, I never said he didn't, but to make people care (which most dont) he has to use his avenues at espn to make people care because espn dictates what's get covered. If he cares that nobody cares he has to do what he has to to make people care.

His point isn't just that nobody cares. It's that people who seem to care when it's ONE WAY, don't seem to give a fukk when it's the OTHER WAY. No consistency.

of course they don't. sports media (and media in general) when it comes to "controversies, and legal issues" is built on vilifying black men.
this we know

Here's what his Antic, his teammate (who is a foreigner) who was with him at the scene said:

Antic, who left the league this offseason to play for Fenerbahçe in Turkey, spoke to a Croatian newspaper about the incident earlier this summer.

“We were in a wrong place at the wrong time, but in the NBA, going out isn’t forbidden,” he said. “Thabo went out of a car so he could give $20 to a homeless guy and all of a sudden police started to push him violently. It was pure racism that is spread around America. Thabo is black, all officers were white. We never got explanation for their behavior. Police kills people over there and nothing happens.”

The silence over the Thabo Sefolosha trial is deafening ... and mystifying
