ESPN finds a new way to push "racism" on us. Sports analytics is racist according to Michael Wilbon

[Asclepias]

First time I have heard this but i agree 100% with Wilbon. You can talk shit all day about analytics but the real test is when you get on the court.

Yeah, an assclap racist like you would think analytics are too hard for blacks.

Analytics are only of interest to those that struggle to perform the natural mathematics on the court. Black people invented math and our bodies naturally understand it.

Black people invented math

What happened? So many can't do it now.

Who told you so many cant do it now? How many Black players are in the NBA?

Who told you so many cant do it now?

Their results on the ACT and SAT tell me they can't do it.

You've seen every Black kids ACT and SAT? Youre full of bullshit.

It would be soul-crushing to read let alone write about every dogshit-stupid thing ESPN does, but this one has gone through the ESPN car wash, providing for ample discussion across the company’s platforms, so here we are.

Noted gasbag Mike Wilbon wrote a piece for The Undefeated yesterday in which, purporting to speak on behalf of all 40-plus million African-Americans in this country, he argued that analytics in sports are something “we want little to do with,” and that “advanced analytics and black folks hardly ever mix.”

In retrospect, this bad column seems like mere prelude for what came today, when handsomely-compensated shouter Stephen A. Smith riffed on the same set of ideas in his own inimitable way:

"You don’t hear brothers talkin’ about analytics. The eye test, knowledge of the game of basketball, dissecting who can do what, etc., all comes into play. We also monitor who has the leadership capabilities, we definitely monitor what’s inside your chest, your heart, how competitive are you, how feisty are you, are you ready to be a roughrider, or are you gonna wilt beneath the pressure. That’s how WE as African-Americans, talk about the sport."

When will this all stop with these left wing race baiting piles of crap?

Only in the right wing echo chamber of retarded nutjobs does Wilbon say analytics is racist.

Actually the ancient Greeks were the first

No.

The oldest evidence of someone using math is from Africa. Sorry.

I really cannot tell. Are you admitting Wilbon is right or not? Your claim (which is pathetic) that "Africans" invented mathematics......sigh....

You said analytics is racist because blacks are too emotional to understand it. You then claim Africans invented mathematics and so you are insinuating they are not too dumb to understand analytics.

In typical left wing fashion you are a double talking hack.

Mesopotamia is where the earliest records have been found, dating back 4,000 years....sorry

Sorry but the Ishango bone in Africa is the first evidence. Even if Mesopotamia was the first those people were still Black.

Awesome! Why can't black kids in America do math today?

Who told you they couldnt? I have 3 daughters that are math whizzes and I happen to be an engineer.

Who told you they couldn't?

It's clear as a group, they perform poorly.

I have 3 daughters that are math whizzes and I happen to be an engineer.

Maybe you should start helping some black kids who can't do math?

I agree with Wilbon. When it comes to playing sports Black people dont talk analytics. Its of no interest. I'm not claiming Africans invented mathematics. I'm stating a well known fact among the educated.

No one believes you perform well. Dont make me laugh. I already posted the Black math genius that proves your perform at a substandard level of intelligence.

You are a freaking loser.

The mission was to find black folks who spend anytime talking about advanced analytics, whose conversations are framed by — or even casually include references to — win shares or effective shooting percentage, WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched) or points per 100 possessions. It’s a failed mission so far. Totally empty. Conclusion: Advanced analytics and black folks hardly ever mix. Set aside the tiny handful of black men who make a living somewhere in the sports industry dealing directly with the numbers and there is absolutely zero mingling.

But not in “BlackWorld,” where never is heard an advanced analytical word. Not in urban barbershops. Not in text chains during three-hour games. Not around office water coolers. Not even in pressrooms or locker rooms where black folks who make a living in the industry spend all day and half the night talking about the most intimate details of sports.

My friend Larry Irving, a black Stanford lawyer and the most rational person I know — except when it comes to his New York Knicks fandom — said our complete withdrawal from statistical analysis is based on our emotional tie to the game.

“Sports is emotional. And analytics represent the absence of emotion, the antithesis. Nobody gets into sports to be dispassionate. And it just seems to me we are the feel it, smell it, touch it people,” he said. “WHIP and WAR [wins above replacement] and win shares are completely antiseptic. I mean, the coach may use analytics to confirm, but you mean to tell me Knute Rockne couldn’t tell whether the boy could play without some advanced analytics expert telling him?”
