If you can read that entire link (and all the receipts inside) and STILL not "get what the big deal" is...then you never will get it.

Michelle Beadle is an entertaining follow on Twitter. FYI.

Sage Steele has the ideology of a white supremacist and thinks she is a special negro. It's sad.
Watch Hidden Colors 3 & 4 if one wants to be informed on this subject.

So good
You don't understand why people protested at airports in regard to the travel ban?

Honestly I hope not to see her again on TV... Good on ESPN for this.
I just stood there with my mouth wide open. I couldn't believe it... She is on another planet.
Joke post right?

do you also hate protests that make you late getting home from work because a black woman refused to sit in the back of the bus?
Beadle wouldn't look like a deer in the headlights if Collins dropped that Birdman line though so she is a much better fit for the show

I think he gets it, just doesn't care. Benefiting from past protests that blocked roads, stopped public transportation and halted commerce and then complaining about current protests that will help future generations takes a special lack of awareness.

Everybody knows throughout history the most effective protests were the ones that were quiet, didn't inconvinience anyone and were easy to forget/ignore.
Protests, without inconvenience, tend to be ineffectual. You need to get people to pay attention to what you're doing and one of the fastest ways to get people not in tune to start noticing you is to stand in their way.
Trump supporters once again showing us how it's done.

That protest tweet, trying to pretend that she's sad for the children and elderly when she's really just pissed you were inconvenienced.
Yes I think the full quote is in that black sports online link floating around in this thread.
She was speaking on diversity and race during black history month and posted a long winded message on one of her social media accounts. I think that was the first time I saw people start to turn on her.

Huh. And here I thought Beadle was the host after only seeing her on NBA Countdown.
Good. I like Beadle. They have a lot of fun on that show that's a step below NBA on TNT's antics.
Whatever happened to Doris Burke?

I thought Sage was cool, if a bit stiff, until she shut down that Canadian dude like she was a Republican congressman. All that shit unraveled real quick and I realized my radar for fuckery needed some calibration.
I respect protests, I just wish they'd be mindful enough to hold them after hours.

The Boston Tea Party was symbolic. Wasn't even real tea.
Probably Earl Grey or something people don't even like.

she sits at the table instead of being a sideline reporter iirc. during the women's tournament she is considered a "game analyst" and is the third person in the booth that isn't color commentary or play by play. interesting enough she just retired from commentating women's basketball and will be focusing primarily on men's basketball. i wouldn't be surprised if we get her as a play by play at some point

I barely watch NBA but every time I caught this woman on air I found her extremely off-putting. Reading about all her shitty attitudes doesn't surprise me.
I searched #sagesteele on Twitter and every pro-Sage/anti-ESPN tweet is from some white guy in a suit in his profile pic talking about the "left wing media" causing this.

Considering I've always known her to be a Republican (born into an army family no less), I wasn't even surprised by that comment, or her Kaepernick comments, etc....
This though... I'm fine with this.
"Rosa Parks is fine I guess but damnit she made my bus late!"
LMAO
If you want people who know their stuff those aren't the shows to be watching.
I hope so we need more Cassidy on TV.
I felt exactly the same way when I saw her on the air.

Queen Burke does games, for sure. College, NBA. She was just on an NBA game earlier in the week. I know she had been doing some NBA studio work, but I don't know the particulars.

It's a shame how ESPN seems to prioritize female hosts who don't even seem to be that interested in the sports they are covering. Even though the show is dumb, I thought it was cool when around the horn had a full female panel of sports writers.
Sage Steele is awful. Good riddance.
Michelle Beadle? Michelle Beadle is a lifetime NBA fan.
Trying to claim that someone like Doris Burke, Cassidy Hubbarth, Rachel Nichols, or Michelle Beadle aren't interested in the NBA would be completely false.
Who? What in the world are you talking about? All of ESPN's main female NBA hosts/reporters are clearly all big NBA fans. Listen to any of them on podcasts.

Could you give an example? Because most of the female specific sports personalities I've seen them put on the air are really invested in those sports. Doris Burke, Michelle Beadle, Suzy Kolber, Lisa Salters, Rachel Nichols, Shannon Spake, Linda Cohn, etc.
I can fault ESPN for a lot of things, but they've been pretty at putting women on air that know their sports and seem passionate about them.
Hell on average their female reporters on the NBA side of things are more informed about the sport than most of the male reporters. I would take Burke's opinion over Windhorst any day.

In fairness, it's tough for Windhorst to be eloquent with LeBron's nuts on his chin.

Oh man lol, this clip. There was ZERO hesitation before he dropped that line too
Ah snap.....
Exactly that's why they should protest quietly like Kaep....oh wait
Yes. I would like to play 1 on 1 with her if you know what I mean.
When in doubt take a swing at ESPN!
They have pretty ladies on shows like First Take, but most of their hosts, anchors, and coverage staff that is female is well informed and add to the shows.

Pretty much. I can't lie though, Listening to Undisputed is a guilty please of mine at work. Shannon's "SKKEEEIIIIUUUUPPPP!" makes me giggle each time.
Awesome. And aside from Sage's terrible views on stuff lately, Beadle's simply better than her on TV.
lol
