ESPN first Take laughs at going to Milwaukee / Phoenix NBA Finals

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

That’s because the NFL doesn’t give those shyt cities a chance to host to the super bowl

Or maybe the NFL doesn’t want their product being sullied or downrated like ESPN does with the NBA.

Are you being serious? Glendale, Arizona has had multiple Super Bowls. The NFL has hosted SBs at Indianapolis, Tampa, Indianapolis, Detroit, Jacksonville......and this is off the top of my head.

It's one of the most incredible things that's ever happened in sports history and no one ever really talks about it. They slapped them in the face for several years and in the end ESPN/ABC/Disney signed up for another 10 years of it for 2.7 billion per year until 2033.



Every city has some fly shyt to get into. If you say I'm going to be between two semi-major cities for multiple weeks I can 1000% guarantee you that I'm going to find some fly shyt and this would especially to true for a city hosting some NBA playoff games. It ain't like they're being sent between Topeka and Omaha.

Right. You take me to any proper city, prop me up in a luxury hotel and a vehicle, if I can't find something to keep my attention in the 4 hours of downtime I may have a day then that's on ME! This shyt is ridiculous.

The host even said all she liked to do when covering the warriors was stay at some nice resort. We know for a fact Phoenix has world class resorts and I bet Milwaukee has some nice shyt overlooking the lake.

I'm in Chicago which is 90 mins away and I have never been to Mlwaukee or had had desire to go. Nobody wants to visit that shythole.

It’s a mini Chicago

Cleveland, Detroit


STL are miles worse in my opinion

 

[phillycavsfan]

I get Milwaukee, but what's wrong with Phoenix?

 

[Noriega]

Though I don’t agree with them. Both Phoenix and Milwaukee are cac cities, breh.

We got a ignorant one @Don De Dieu

Yeah I agree, I dont know what this had to do with what we were talking about though lol

What a terrible terrible garbage ass sports talk show. How about no city wants to see that balding c00n? After Kwame funny rants on Stephen, no city in the world wants to see him, even his hometown whatever it may be.

Spoke on it upthread. The city proper is mostly Black. A lot of folks are making shyt up, exaggerating off headlines or never been here. Again, there are stretches where you'd have a hard time seeing somebody white.

I'm Black and a lifelong resident. Honestly, I don't take offense to the notion that the city is "bad". The reaction locally is silly because it's just low-hanging fruit from paid trolls on a show. No need for headlines in the paper, CACs on social in their feelings or a statement from the mayor.

Now, it isn't really good here for Black folks long-term. But if you're here for a week or two, it's fine. There are way worse cities in the Midwest. It's basically a mini Chicago (people literally move here from there cause it's cheap), there's shyt to do, eat and see.

New Orleans too of course.

I don't understand why they care so much about the cities. SAS gets so excited about going to Miami but he acting like when he show up he filling in for Khaled at LIV. All you doing is going to the games, preparing for your broadcast, staying at luxury hotels, and eating at very nice restaurants. Pretty sure there are enough spots in Phoenix and Milwaukee to fill their down time.

This is why you lost if you watch this garbage.these old mf’s act like they goin to kick it ,instead they should talk about the possibility of this young suns team & cp3(after all his personal bad luck for years) potentially winning a championship or giannis after failing the last 2 years as mvp has a chance to win Milwaukee its first title in 50 years

Espn just like the coli with the woat talking points

THESE.

Especially the bolded.

Big cities are overrated
