Where is Jalen incorrect?Where is his statement false?Ummmmm, when pigs fly.
And by the way, I don't believe his racist comment should get his ass canned, but everyone here knows what would have happened if a white analyst had made this sort of comment about a black player.
Former NBA star Jalen Rose says US should have sent all-black team to Olympics, calls inclusion of single white player, Kevin Love, 'tokenism' and says Bahamian Deandre Ayton would have made a better pick
- Team USA's inclusion of white forward Kevin Love on the Olympic roster is an example of 'tokenism,' according to retired NBA star Jalen Rose
- Speaking on his podcast, Rose said that Love played poorly for the Cavaliers this season and did not deserve a spot on the US Olympic roster in Tokyo
- Rose said Suns center Deandre Ayton was a more deserving pick that Love, who struggled this season, but did win an Olympic gold medal with the US in 2012
- Ayton is from the Bahamas. He is ineligible to play for Team USA unless he becomes a US citizen, amid claims he'd make a 'perfect fit'
- Four of the last five US men's Olympic teams were comprised of only black players, and Love remains the only white player on the squad since 1996

Does it matter?
We know that accusations of tokenism have been leveled for decades throughout our society. Much of the time a Affirmative Action hire is tokenism.
However, this is the era of wokenism not tokenism, so let's see if ESPN are hypocrites. Likely they'll do nothing since we all know how this shit works.
I didn't say he was. In fact, since I don't follow the NBA anymore I have no idea what kind of season Love has had.
That's not the point. The point is this isn't something you can say today if you're white, so I would like to see the same standard for everyone. ESPN needs to address this.
oh you can bet if whitey said something like that theyd be gone
just ask rush and jimmy the greek
