Oh look Michelle Beadle getting a Outspoken, Feminist Praise Piece :dry:

[K-Apps]

The 39-year-old co-host ofSportsNation has ripped into Kim Kardashian over her bodacious, headline-grabbing Paper magazine cover (“giant, greasy poo-maker,” she called it), makes a hilarious crack to me about Jon Hamm’s “giant wiener,” and was, like Simmons before her, reprimanded by the corporate brass at ESPN over a series of tweets she’d made last July excoriating colleague Stephen A. Smith over his boneheaded comments in defense of noted woman-beater (and NFL star) Ray Rice, insinuating that after she was uppercut in an elevator, which was all caught on camera, his then-fiancée Janay had somehow “provoked” the pummeling.

“I’m not a reporter, so I get to say whatever—and then I’ll get called into the office. I’ve learned that you can’t really call other people out,” Beadle says of ESPN. “But with that, I didn’t really call the person out, it was his words. I don’t regret that. The words were wrong, and somebody had to say something. His words sometimes are very… it’s somethin’ else.”

She’s not done. “It was insulting to me, as a woman. There’s a freaking video, for god’s sake. I felt so angry. I didn’t like that we were being lied to. It’s like, ‘You don’t have that video?’ Come on. You’re the most powerful league in the entire world and can have whatever you want. I’m a woman and a fan of the NFL, and I felt like they were slapping us all in the faces by even entertaining the idea that this was not a big deal.”

Beadle also calls ESPN’s coverage of the Ray Rice affair “abysmally depressing,” confessing, “Every time I looked up, I saw men talking about it. Men were talking about Ray Rice and domestic violence, and saying strange things.”

Her tweets calling out the caricature that is Stephen A. Smith for his asinine comments on domestic violence made Beadle one of the precious few people at ESPN to speak candidly about the epidemic of domestic violence in sports. And she continued the crusade in late April, firing off a series of tweets to her 1.1 million Twitter followers criticizing boxer Floyd Mayweather for his disturbing history of violence against women—a total of seven arrests or citations against five different female victims.

She addresses the Rodgers rumors

Suddenly, the other shoe dropped. It was late July 2011 and, after hitting some ESPYs after-parties, Beadle was hauled into the office of her boss, Vice President of Content Integration and Strategic Planning Marcia Keegan, at the behest of her superior, Executive Vice President John Walsh. According to Beadle, Keegan told her that her co-workers had accused of her of being drunk and using drugs at an ESPYs after-party—and also hitting on Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. She was incensed.

“I saw and talked to Aaron the first night I was there,” Beadle later told Deadspin. “I don’t know the guy or anything, but we [she and her girlfriends] were hanging out with him. But Marcia told me that she heard I had apparently blurted out in front of him, ‘I just wanna get fukked’ very loudly.”

Someone at ESPN had been spreading nasty rumors about Beadle.

“Here I was caught in this dumb scandal of words that was completely made up,” Beadle tells me. “It came from people in a camp that didn’t like me. What bothered me about it was, A) it was completely false, and B) anyone who knows me knows I use the F-word left and right, but never in that context. And most importantly, I haven’t been able to shake it. I got a Bridgestone campaign, and there was a time where they almost didn’t hire me because to Google my name would bring you that story.”

Indeed, it’s still the fourth item that comes up when you Google Beadle’s name.

“I was so angry and no one was defending me, so I went to Deadspin and said, ‘To hell with it, I need to defend myself here. I will get even one day,” she adds, before unleashing a fake-ghoulish laugh.

She addresses the claims she's a racist

A veritable horde of male trolls ( of the Coli brehs) has taken to harassing Beadle because of her outspoken criticism of domestic violence perpetrators like Ray Rice, Floyd Mayweather, and others. They’ve even accused her of harboring a racially-motivated vendetta against black athletes—a claim that makes Beadle laugh out loud.

“What bummed me out the most is it became a race thing. I’ve been called a racist more in the last year than I think any time in my life,” she says. “Between Ray Rice and Floyd Mayweather, apparently my goal in life is to ‘bring down the black athlete.’ Really? Is that what you got from that? Those guys could have been purple, or yellow, or red, I don’t care. Beating women is wrong.”

at this whole entire article, the fact that sports media is praising her for this when she paid for this and is not an actual sports reporter, announcer, or anchor is sickening enough

Wonder what she thinks bout alot of black women?

You see it. Even if the intent isn't on some racist shyt, any 40 year old woman referring to an ass as a "poo maker" should go sit down somewhere and get their life together.

if the Aaron Rodgers thing is indeed false then I feel bad for her about that


She's still nobody I care about that much because I don't watch ESPN but I did watch her on NBC Sports network a couple times. Her beef with Erin Andrews was lame as hell.





and yes I'll admit I'd probably tap that, I love a chick who loves sports.
