Mike Tirico on his :mjpls: again

[Piff Perkins]

Real curious to see what Carl Nassib, the gay Raiders player, says about this. Because I doubt he's gonna trot out and defend this piece of shyt the way two black men trotted out to breathlessly defend him on live television for NBC. Outside of black people, who does this? If a man gets popped for saying wildly sexist shyt about women, random women in media/arts/culture/etc don't trot out to defend him. If someone says wild shyt about Hispanics, George Lopez doesn't jump out the bushes to say he forgives him.

Black people constantly pop up in these cases and I think a lot of it has to do with how black people generally receive power in this country. There's a very specific role of being the arbitrator or race whisperer who either vouches for a white person, or offers to sell a white person/product/thing to black people. The middle man role. That Al Sharpton grift where you tell the black folks that The White Man is sorry and you accepted his apology...while you cash the check.

Tirico has spent his life in that middle man position, but in the opposite way. Instead of appealing to black people, he's appealed to white people. He's been the guy you go to if you need to prove you aren't racist. The guy who laughs at your racist joke and gives you the greenlight to use it in public. This is just who he is, fellas.

As a kid, I always liked Tirico. He was like the Mr. Rogers of sports anchor. Voice was always calm, serene, and just had soothing presence about him. But I definitely thought he was black. Dude use to have like a mini afro.

Theres a documentary about a woman who is clearly mixed, but raised in an italian household with no knowledge of who her father was. Her family told her all her life that she was full italian and she grew up accepting it until she got to college. She met some black women that told her the straight up truth in which she had an 'awakening'. She confronted her family and her mom finally told her the truth that her dad is black. I think she had a falling out with them - which is more of a positive. She ended up marrying a black man and has a beautiful black family. Italians be on some

I guess Tirico is still in the sunken place. Sad.

Never Forget That Mike Tirico Was Suspended For Sexually Harassing and Stalking Women at ESPN

In 1992, just his second year with the network, Mike Tirico was suspended from ESPN for three months after numerous incidents involving sexual harassment were reported. Two separate books, “ESPN: The Uncensored History” and “These Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN,” shared details of the alleged incidents and they certainly don’t paint a great picture of Mike Tirico.

One story involves Mike Tirico hitting on a female production assistant at a house party in the autumn of 1992. He apparently went up to her at said party and told her that she was “the most beautiful woman in here.” The woman ignored his advances and walked away but he continued to stalk her as the night went on and even followed her out to her car as she attempted to leave.

The woman tried to roll up her window but Tirico reached in the car and attempted to wedge his hand in between her thighs. The two apparently saw each other at work the following day and the woman expected him to apologize, which he didn’t, instead telling her that “all I did all day was think about you.”

In a separate incident involving another female producer, one who’d been out to dinner with Mike Tirico and his fiancee (and future wife), Tirico sent her an e-mail telling her that he wanted to sleep with her. The two were later part of a group of staff members that went to a bar following ESPN’s coverage of the NCAA Tournament, at which point Tirico approached the woman and said, “I wish I was single. If I were, I’d throw you on the table right here and f— your brains out.”

The woman tried to dismiss him as just being drunk but things got even worse. As she was driving home, a car came speeding up next to hers on the interstate and it was Mike Tirico, who was waving his hand out the window as if to tell her to pull over. She sped up to escape but Tirico sped up as well. She eventually slammed on the brakes and veered toward an exit.

When word of the incident began to spread around the ESPN offices, additional women came forward with their own stories on Mike Tirico. “ESPN: The Uncensored History” says that six women in total complained of his behavior, which led to his suspension.
