The Tiger Woods Press Conference – and, Of the Sports Godhead Network and Tiger Woods (of ESPN and public and not-so public lynchings)

Ever wonder what his young mind was really thinking about being thrust into the public's eye at age, before anyone will even listen to him? Update: Tiger Woods press conference… he apparently asked the attendees to come to the conference because he considered them friends – including those from Golf Writers of America. Do they feel like assholes now? Probably not. And [read more...]

The Proof: What Who Dat Nation and Greenie Tell Us

There is now proof that Black people in America have, largely given up the ghost of seeking to become equals with White Americans. The proof lies in the election of a mixed race President who Blacks allow a White press and White populace to define. The proof lies in the savage racial and racist politics that burst to the surface like [read more...]

An All-White Basketball League? And It Isn’t Racist?! With an Important Don Lewis Addendum

'And now, your AABA East All-Stars!' A little over one month ago an Outside the Lines segment featured Kyle McAlarney. The former Notre Dame point guard asserted in no uncertain terms that there was a bias by NBA management toward Black players. After viewing the segment and writing a commentary about it and McAlarney, I wondered why ESPN would air such [read more...]

Wait Wait Wait…. WTF did Mike Greenberg Say?!

The one morning I missed this fool he says this?! Believe me, there’s more to come…. …the “more to come…. Robert Littal of Black Sports Online is willing to give Mike Greenberg the benefit of the doubt? Littal writes: Mike Greenberg needs to address this immediately and not just with an apology, but an explanation of how it happened. Words like “Coon” are not [read more...]

D.C. Could Use a Little Local Understanding for Gilbert Arenas

Due to His incident with Javaris Crittenton, Gilbert Arenas has suddenly become a mystery. At 2:40 p.m. EST Friday Chad Dukes, co-host of an afternoon 106.7 The Fan radio show in Washington, D.C. told a story about getting pulled over by a policeman after he was out drinking with his girlfriend. Dukes admitted that if the policeman desired he could have [read more...]

Guns, Race, and Guns: Gilbert, Volunteers, and the Cost of Life in America

A Philadelphia fan holds up a sign for Gilbert Arenas. People in the United States – at least the U.S. – do not want to hear this. White people, Black people, people. But especially White and Black people. Black and White people. Even the juxtaposition – Black-White – is a contrivance, a sick trick of the mind. Racism exists today at its vile [read more...]

Tiger Woods Latest: Why Reporting of a New Woman Shows the “Tick Press” Faction – and America – at Its Worst

To editorialize, I hate TMZ, People Magazine, the National Enquirer, US Weekly, and any other base, classless, piece of turd magazine that makes its money off of “dishing the dirt” on “celebrities.” I do not mean “hate on,” I mean, I despise of them, the people who work for them and the company-corporate – and more – interests behind them.

Whitlock’s Apology; Football Motivation, 21st Century-Style; Paying for Content Is Here

And so Jason Whitlock caved. Though he’ll never admit it – he certainly attempted to put on a brave face in his latest Fox Sports offering – he folded like pretty Christmas wrapping paper around a gift. The only problem is, he packaged himself: Let me first apologize to Rush Limbaugh. Last week in explaining why NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed to put [read more...]

Mel Kiper’s Black and White Moment

I have written about ESPN and racism from the outset of Sports On My Mind; so much that, after awhile it gets tedious, even for me; I know it must be tough on readers. However, I am constantly searching for examples that will elucidate my understanding of the WWL’s racist verbiage as it pertains to Black athletes and Black people. Hopefully, [read more...]

ESPN and the Fight to Demean All Black People

It’s Michael Vick night and the country is going mad - especially the White ESPN-oriented segment. Wednesday on Philadelphia’s - and ESPN’s - 950-AM sports talk radio, show host Mike Missanelli interviewed J. Whyatt Mondesire, head of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania chapter of the NAACP. Mondesire, along with the Black Clergy of Philadelphia have planned a counter-demonstration to animal rights groups that [read more...]
