Also surprised they let Jalen go…..but kept Perkins???

I like JJ and think Richard Jefferson gets better every time. Plus, he brings humor

JJ is great.

RJ... it's like he knows he's a complete dick, and he's leaning into it. I agree, he is less worse over time.

If Hubie is on the ESPN payroll, I hope they keep him. Dude should call games as long as he's breathing.

Perk is annoying, but usually less so when discussing the Knicks.

Hubie is 89. He’s entering Phil Rizzuto old man announcer territory

It also helps that ESPN didn’t lay off anyone actually worth watching.

I think the problem is Disney, a publicly traded company, is bleeding money. Does anybody even care if there is another superhero movie? Their decision to go woke hasn’t helped their bottom line either

When has it ever?

This system is not designed for people who are woke. It rest on the backs of sleep walkers who follow the status quo.

If you don't understand, then it wasn't meant for you.

What did they do? they pushed back on the "don't say gay" in florida. Basically did the "all men are created equal".

Desantis is dividing his state to pander to a radical constituency to gain votes. Pretty much he his presidential slogan be like "Make america Florida".
Does it get him elected? I hope not. Nalod not Woke but piling on a minority no matter how small is bullying.
He is pretty transparent in his intentions and is out Trumping Trump racing to the bottom.
This "radical Liberal" name calling is ignorant. No, not all issues are black and white but the divide deepens when we choose leaders based on such things.
Im moderate in the majority of views. States need to stayout of peoples bodies, bedrooms and not use government to be vindictive. Desantis crossed the line with Disney and curriculum in schools. Denying history to make some people feel better is not moving society forward.
We did some bad things in our history. We need to own it and move forward.
Financial reparations on a wide scale is not very practical. But to ignore things is ignorant.

ESPN has been losing money way before it spoke about "Don't say Gay".

I'm just reading about this a little now. So Disneys's CEO went on record at a shareholder meeting about their position wanting to teach 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students about sexual orientation and gender identity. Disney has a huge media outreach. I guess they also started introducing trans gender and gay characters and sexual orientation in their content which targets young audiences. So the result is that parents have stopped subscribing to streaming services or going to movies and visiting theme parks? my kids are grown and no grand kids yet so I don't follow it at all.
