Magic Johnson debate turns into ESPN-on-ESPN racism claims

[philmonroe]

They (Dan & Stu) literally shytted on John Lynch 2 weeks ago for not being qualified for the 9ers GM position...but you dudes ain't trying to hear that though.

Don't play that game, we better than that.

Dan ain't nothing near a racist.

He not a racist but lacking for material because I'm tired of hearing about basic shyt like this. Who don't look out for friends, family, friends of friends over randoms when they get a chance? That's why I agree he ain't racist but him and others need to go on vacay or something right now when sports are kinda dead lol.

I really don't like the trend of slapping racism on frivolous situations like lebetard tearing into magic or some shyt about a store taking down negan shirts

It's really reduces the impact and magnitude of what racism really is, which enables a idiot like sage Steele to make the comments she made about the most racism she ever experienced were by black people. If you reduce racism simply to shirt slogans name calling and intentions behind rants, then c00n buck dancing blacks like Charles barkley can make the claim that it's just as many black idiots as white idiots.

Racism is a institution, white supremacy is a system. It can never be reduced from that level otherwise the major victims of this institution and system get cheated on rhe effects it has had on them and how it continues to dominate them therefore simultaneously removing the proper resolutions to fixing the issue.

One of the most important posts you'll ever see on the coli.

Dan is the last person I'd consider s racist on ESPN btw.

Bomani tongue-in-cheeked about Magic "dirty mackin'" his way to Jeanie Buss' favor, so there's a level of his hiring that got commentators thinking a way about it.

Of course he got the job because he's Magic fukkin Johnson. We all know this and we can just leave it at that. His business acumen speaks for itself and he's arguably the greatest player in our franchise's history. He absofukkinlutely deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Truth. I don't think the reactions need to be so venomous, especially when LA isn't handcuffed should this fail. She gave her own brother the walking papers, so why shouldn't she do the same to Magic if shyt don't work?

A lot of the same people that like John Elway running the Broncos are coming down the hardest on Magic.

i assume his father's resume was bustling w/ tv experience and sports referrals when espn put him on tv, flanked by two journalists.

lakers hired a former minority owner and arguably its greatest player in its rich franchise history to run a basketball business operation. soon as he moved in w/ the dodgers, they became better & more profitable. now, on to basketball, how is one of its best players and one of the most successful businessmen in its native city unqualified to run a basketball business operation.

this is why mofos dont need to be on the radio & tv every day of the week. they run out of valid shyt to say and start reaching for the stars....and by that, i mean reaching for magic. he is a star among stars.

^ this right here. But I don't fukk with ESPN out side the games. The shyt is a trash network. I watch the games only not the pregame, tv shows, post game or half time shows.

But ESPN been jumped the shark a long time ago. They are coached up to make controversal comments and that is why even ex players roll with the same talking points as everyone else.

I remember when Keyshawn retired and got a gig on ESPN NFL countdown. Then had the nerve to interview Chad Johnson and say how he was a distraction to the team and how he Keyshawn never did such as player.........

Mr. Give me the damn ball book having ass as a rookie keyshawn got the nerve to say he wasn't a distraction................see that is why I can't take that network serious at all.

At least with foxnews they don't hide they ignorance and just put it out there. ESPN tries to act progressive and shyt and they are as red neckish as fox news.

magic johnson is a weirdo fakkit

dude is like uncanny valley fake, a husk

it's weird

 

[Originalman]

Also we all know in sports when a black person gets a position that folks believe they are not qualified for we always hear this rumbling.

When a white person gets a gig in sports they aren't qualified for all you hear is it was a great hire, the team is trying something new, the person relates to the owner and players well......and on and on again.

 

[ezrathegreat]

Basically,he sees a black man getting opportunities and privileges normally reserved for white people and he has a problem with it.:Winspleas_1:

 

[GunRanger]

You totally missed the point... fukk did he get a gm position out of that?

He's knowledgeable and people like him. Most of this shyt is just nailing the interview.

 

[Taadow]

fukk you and that Cuban cac.

I think you quoted me by mistake.

 

[ThaRebel]

I fukks with the Lebatard show but he didn't go at Lynch and other unqualifieds like he went at Magic. The Magic Hour failing was a HUGE part of his reasoning that Magic wasn't worthy of a fukkin basketball job. C'mon bruh. That would've been like discrediting Lynch for some missed tackles. Dan got way too loose with this shyt.

 

[duncanthetall]

Victim ass nikkas really coming in here saying shyt like "Dan never did this to Fisher." "He never said anything about Lynch."

Literally making shyt up to feel victimized. Y'all need to take a break from the innanets

My whole thing in regards to le batard is what has John Paxson done to deserve his position??? He was doing broadcasting for the bulls and the next day he's vice president of operations..what about that

What about steve Kerr leaving tnt to take over as GM in Phoenix and fail and now he with golden state as coach..

These espn fukks try to fox news shyt to make there points and convince everybody they know shyt

I agree with what you trying to say but Kerr didn't fail as a GM in Phoenix. He actually did a good job of brining in different pieces like Fyre and others. Management didn't/wouldn't go all in on him so he bounced. Le Batard is completely wrong though
