It seems in the name of diversity the Olympic Men’s Basketball Team has decided to add Kevin Love to the team. However it seems that Jalen Rose (Never heard of him, do not watch ESPN, or sports for that matter…lol) is not happy with that selection, why….because he is white!. That’s right, he said “Kevin Love is on the team because of tokenism.” Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?! My mind is completely blown. As I looked into this, it seems that the U.S. Men’s Olympic Basketball Team had an all black team in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Mr. Rose also stated that “Don’t be scared to make an all-Black team representing the United States of America.” Can you imagine if someone had made comments like that about…let’s say the U.S. Men’s Hockey team and the “token” player was black. It would cause such a shitstorm that I cannot and do not want to imagine the fallout. That networks analyst would be fired immediately. Yes, I would be just as flabbergasted if that comment was made just as I am over this one.
It’s not wonder that ESPN ratings are dropping, but on the bright side they are very “Woke”. Nonsense like this what causes people to tune out. In my opinion people just want to watch sports to escape everyday life and not have to think about political bullshit. Sadly though, it has made its way into every facet of sports and that is why viewership in declining so fast.
