Steve Harvey and the ESPN double standard

[NinersSBChamps]

If this were any number of the white employees at ESPN they would already have been fired. Why isn’t this headline news like it was with Doug Adler.

If you guys were Dallas Cowboys fans you'd know that we refer to them as BSPN before any other question is asked or point is made, so there's that to consider

I haven’t watched them except for live sports for years. There are so many better outlets that report sports and don’t add in their political agenda every chance they can.

ESPN fired an analyst for using guerilla, not gorilla, in reference to Serena’s tactics on court. Surely they are outraged by this, right?

No. They are doing everything to make this audio clip disappear. They scrubbed it from all of their networks.

The appearance on SportsCenter probably would have gone without notice except that Harvey decided to compare the Golden State Warrior players to gorillas. “You can’t stop them boys,” Harvey said, “They’ve got too many gorillas on the team. They coming to play, man. They got 800 pound gorillas on they team.”

So it was racist AND fat shaming...
