Jalen Rose Is Mad a White Player Made Team USA, Inaccurately Says NBA Won’t Send An All Black Team

At ESPN, skin color is all that matters. It’s all the executives see, and all the hosts can build segments around.

Less than 24 hours after ESPN’s Jay Williams inaccurately said it took the Boston Celtics 75 years to hire a head coach of color*, his colleague Jalen Rose falsely claimed that the NBA is afraid to send an all-black team to The Olympics.

Rose admits he’s quite bothered that Kevin Love made Team USA, calling Love a “token.”  ...

Furthermore, Rose’s lie follows a trend at ESPN. When a list of players is released, ESPN personalities do not scan for fit or talent. Alternatively, they examine for skin color. So while Max Kellerman studied NFL mock drafts in April, he got out a pen to count the number of “white guys” who made the cut. Once the number exceeded two, Kellerman, a white guy, got worried. ...

*the Celtics have had about six black coaches in the past. Their most recent hire is not the first.

It's crap like this that proves ESPN is a good fit under the Disney umbrella.

Jalen Rose, Jay Williams Are Just Following ESPN’s Racialized Culture
by Bobby Burack about 4 hours ago   

As ESPN continues to slash salaries and lose personalities to competitors, talent agents and employees have recognized there are only two bulletproof groups in sports media: the superstars and the race analysts. And because there are only so many Stephen A. Smiths and Scott Van Pelts, the latter group has grown with out-of-placed followers.

In high school, followers take after the popular students. In corporate America, followers imitate overachievers. Overachievers at major companies sound and tweet alike. And because they so often have nothing interesting to say, they all play victim and agree that white people are, at best, privileged and, at worst, racist.

ESPN employees, in particular, feel pressured to racialize each topic they discuss, to view every subject through a racial lens. And they obey for good reason. They saw the company tell radio legend Mike Golic that he couldn’t stay, even at reduced pay; they see that Mark Jones’ gross and racist tweets shield him from criticism and give him job security.

However, the problem is that so few people — at ESPN or otherwise — racialize topics with sense. It’s hard to fit in. Jokes are funny until the weird guy at the end of the bar repeats them so that he can fit in. Then, no one laughs. Racial victimhood plays out much the same way today, and the ESPN B-team is the creepy bar guy. ... Outkick

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
So we've come to the point where racial equality means whites are completely barred from anything in society beyond mere existence, as long as the BLM Marxists don't start with the mass genocide.

Its been plain with anyone possessing a brain that it has been about superiority, and not equality, for years now.

Who cares....   I've  rooted against Team USA for decades. Love seeing spoiled cry baby race baiting multimillionaires being beat by smaller nations whose team loves playing the game for the love of the game.  F__ Team USA.

Indeed. The "Dream Team" is the only US team the networks feel is worth our patriotic support. The globalists have made the Olympics boring IMO.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Swimming, Water Polo and Hockey are still safe.

I'll never go that far. It's tantamount to treason to root against your own country when they're competing.

But it doesn't mean I have to watch.

Hey.... I am rooting for the other 98%.  And since when do these NBA thugs who back the BLM terrorist represent my country versus their own self interest.  Not treasonous.  Not even close.

Hell they do a better job of representing China than the US. These are the guys who kneel during the nat’l anthem. I owe them less than nothing.
