It’s easy to say now that Whitlock was destined to fail at The Undefeated, but that’s a harsh reading of events. Whitlock is an unsophisticated thinker on race who wrote his belief in black pathology into the The Undefeated’s DNA, and whose ideas about respectability politics bled into each piece he edited before he was tossed aside. His ideology was formed over 20 years of writing opinions on race that were largely inaccurate, but, more importantly, firmly aligned with the opinions of many whites. Though he’d alienated many blacks along the way, including talented ESPN colleagues, his readings of American history were agreeable to an enormous portion of ESPN’s audience. He was decidedly safe and unchallenging. Through this lens, Whitlock was, in theory at least, the perfect choice to run the site.
“If Marie Donoghue’s enthusiasm for the site is high, you might actually see a site right now,” another ESPN source says.
[...]
To make the point, the source told me about an interaction between Donoghue and Bryant, where Donoghue offered an example of content she’d like to see on The Undefeated. She mentioned one of the pieces that Grantland writer Rembert Browne has written on Nicki Minaj. They’re fun and good posts, to be sure, and any good site covers both light and heavy topics. But Rembert went to Ferguson. Rembert flew to Selma with Obama. You’re saying something when you single out his Nicki Minaj posts as examples of what you want.

So not even red box? I'm sad I don't even care about a terminator movie. I'm not even interested in the HBO run.

Soccer is the worst thing.GIF of the week:
Baseball is the worst thing.

Man, that game was boring af, last night. I'm not a baseball fan. I'm a fair weather, Phillies fan. And I'm okay with that. I could only get into it with the idea of the cubs doing some damage. I guess that's why baseball sportswriters are desperately needed. Without those fan boys jerking off at minutia, I wouldn't give a crap.ftfy
To be honest I can't remember the last time I went to church must be close to 5-6 years.

Only when I'm drunk or angry tho..please understand..I love how every "social media post gets person fired" story always brings out the people who are apparently incapable of stopping themselves from saying racist nonsense.
When you live soccer most of your life out of circumstance it gets like that. All soccer players are nothing but trash. Except Adriano, Henry,Batistuta,Ronaldinho and Van der sar.How can you be in Sweden and don't like football when Zlatan exists? smh

If you only knew how deeply i despise soccer. Friends don't invite me to watch with them anymore cos i am always against their team and they have lost 100% of the times they watched with me. Even one grand final championship title. Hatred too strong it gives me infinite negative energy lol.
