ESPN's rough week shows its decay at the hands of liberal politics

[Counselor706]

ESPN analyst Jay Williams congratulated new Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka on being the “first head coach of color” for the Celtics. The problem with that? Udoka was actually the sixth. Those previous coaches weren’t exactly obscure either: Bill Russell became the first black head coach in all of North American sports, and Doc Rivers was the Celtics head coach in the far-gone year of 2013. Those two, along with K.C. Jones, all won titles with the Celtics.

In a rush to make Udoka’s hiring about race, Williams made a fool of himself (he claims that he was hacked, for whatever that’s worth). But that’s all it was. There was no malicious intent. Not like the kind that came from another ESPN analyst, Stephen A. Smith, when he angrily walked off the set of the show First Take earlier this month after the Celtics promoted former head coach Brad Stevens to general manager. Smith was infuriated for no reason beyond the fact that Stevens happens to be white.

That more malicious version of ESPN’s racism reared its head again shortly after Williams’s tweet. ESPN analyst Jalen Rose claimed that Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love was included on the U.S. Olympic basketball team only because of “tokenism” (Love is white) and that the U.S. was too afraid to send an all-black basketball team to represent the country.

The problem with that? Team USA did exactly that in the last Olympics, sending an all-black team to Rio in 2016. This was not a congratulatory tweet that came after a brain spasm, like Williams’s blunder. This was race-baiting, an accusation based entirely on Rose’s own opinion and done with no research whatsoever.
