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

[Theowl32]

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?

This is hurting the left wing and its ability to win elections. It sucks but they're foolish enough to call everything racist which is illogical.

Because black folks are bad at math?

Everything is racist!!!!!! and if it's not then make it racist!!!!!!!! This shit is old

“Some of the most racist things that I’ve ever heard come out of people that are on the air at ESPN,” Schilling said. He didn't elaborate on whom specifically he was referring to, but he later mentioned Stephen A. Smith's comments that Robert Griffin III wasn't able to play quarterback for the Washington Redskins because of his skin color, as well as comments made by Pardon The Interruption's Tony Kornheisers that compared the Tea Party to ISIS."

Other than the deflategate reporting ESPN is a shit hole.

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.

I am just glad you agree with Wilbon when his main theme is that blacks are more emotional and so they are pretty much incapable of being overly analytical.

Do not worry, the other black guy shouting Stephen A agreed with him.

Huh, they agree with every single white supremacist claim.

Go figure.
