How to alienate more sports viewers? Do political shows instead of sports

Despite claiming that it isn’t a “political” sports network, ESPN has announced that it plans to launch a brand new morning show geared to push a far left, social justice agenda.
The new show, to be called Get Up!, will air from 7 to 10 AM and will feature hosts Mike Greenberg, Michelle Beadle, and Jalen Rose, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

Apparently, ESPN is sinking big cash into this new “woke” morning show, too.

Liberals believe "social justice" isn't politics even though it clearly is. The Methodist Church even has a political lobbying arm to push "social justice" issues like guns, global warming and Medicaid expansion. Every Democrat issue is picked up and pushed.

Not a new thing for churches to be socio-political.

If you study, you will learn that certain of the protestant churches in Britain and in the US played major roles, in bringing about the abolition of slavery.

The laughable thing is that the clowns hosting the show will most likely be preaching to the choir....those mopes already on board with being "woke" and down with the struggle.
I guess they believe they'll gull a bunch of younger viewers into following their witless and deleterious social justice messages about Evil Whitey oppressing everybody.
You'd think a number of these athletes who've become instant millionaires by bouncing basketballs or knocking over people on a football field would be semi-grateful to the country that made them rich.
You would be wrong.
Case in point, Lebron James, who has close to half a billion bucks from bouncing a basketball, thinks he's oppressed.
At some point you have to throw up your hands.

There was/is no Southern Baptist church. They act independently.

What Southern Baptist church are you referring to that possessed slaves?  If not, please relate how this support occurred, as you seem to have studied up on this subject.   Your 'studies' appear to suggest that a single church did this act, and am curious on which one it might be.

The Bible is ripe with references to slavery.  Does that mean that the Word of God supported slavery or was the Bible just recognizing one condition of mankind?

It's really leftist religion and morality disguised as politics and policy, in order to distract and misdirect.
The Republic is lost.

Happy to oblige.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Baptist_Convention

"In 1995, the convention voted to adopt a resolution renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy.[48][49] This marked the denomination's first formal acknowledgment that racism had a profound role in its early and modern history."

https://www.gotquestions.org/Southern-Baptist-Convention.html

The Southern Baptist Convention got its start in 1845 during the turmoil that led to the Civil War. As with the war itself, there were many factors that led to the division between North and South, but the headline issue for the church was slavery. Following the great revivals of the early 1800s, many Baptist churches in the northern states took a strong stand for the abolition of slavery. Though the Triennial Convention attempted to mediate the issue by establishing a non-committal policy on slavery, the southern churches felt slighted in the national meeting and formed their own convention at the First Baptist Church of Augusta, Georgia. Though they differed on the issue of slavery, the Southern Baptists and Northern Baptists essentially held the same doctrines following the split. One key distinction in practice was the cooperative movement in the Southern Baptist Convention. Whereas the Northern Baptists maintained their independence, the Southern Baptists formed a cooperative body to support world missions and other causes. These cooperative efforts were directed by the central administration rather than the churches.

"In forming the denomination, Southern Baptists wanted to maintain the autonomy of the local churches while creating an alliance of churches working in friendly cooperation. The denomination does not ordain ministers, assign pastoral positions, or mandate contributions, as these decisions rightly belong to the local churches. The primary goal of the denomination is to identify with like-minded churches and pool resources to establish and advance the work of the gospel. The “convention” lasts for 2 days each year, as messengers elected from the various churches gather together to address issues of doctrine and practice that impact the churches. The messengers develop and vote on resolutions that are then delivered back to the churches as recommended practices, but there is no authority to force churches into compliance."

"The nation’s largest Protestant denomination, which was founded in 1845 over the issue of slavery and whose leaders once championed segregation and Jim Crow laws, has made significant strides in recent years to reform its image on such matters. But when it comes to the denomination’s race relations, the past is a ghost whose haunting seems unending."

Ok, so you said there was a Southern Baptist Church which supported the continuation of slavery.  That Church is unspecified in your link or text.

Your text includes a reference to churches which belong to the Southern Baptist Convention, which is not a church at all, but an alliance of like-minded churches.

No where do I read that any of these churches owned slaves.  From what I read, these churches, and the convention they were part of, in the past did not condemn slavery; instead, it was permitted, similarly so if one reads the text of the Bible, the Word of God.

Is not condemning slavery akin to supporting slavery?  It appears to be that way in your mind.

Your presumption 'One doesn't "renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery, segregation"....if they never had a connection or supported slavery.' is a non-argument.

I can sit here and issue a condemnation of slavery but it does not mean I supported slavery in the past.  Your posts clearly indicate the reason the renouncement was made was to pacify blacks within the Southern Baptist convention that the convention finds slavery abhorrent, as it is.

Once again, the Bible itself recognizes the human condition of slavery.  That in itself does not mean the Bible supports slavery.
