I don't know about you all but I'm more willing to hear about the Brewer's slippage than Donaghy. :spin

Amount of NFL fans > Amount of NBA fans

Amount of people interested in Mike Vick's case > Amount of people interested in Donaghy's case

The Vick case is something that transcends sports and has entered the news realm via more people because he is a superstar player in the most popular league in the country. The Donaghy case, while also entering the news realm via crime, is still primarily a sports issue.

And if you're going to claim racism, Yahoo Sports has the Vick story as second (top small box next to a larger dominant story) while the Donaghy case is in the other stories section (and referencing his apology).

Sportsline has Brandon Webb as their top story, then it flows to a training camp feature, NASCAR, Donovan McNabb and Vick is buried in the other stories while the only story under a NBA heading on the front page is Madsen's injury.

FoxSports has Vick dominant with Donaghy's apology in the headlines section.

Are they all racist too or are you simply an alarmist looking for some attention?

[Holt's Cat]

The Vick-Dog shit transcends the NFL. Anytime you have women discussing anything remotely related to the new national pasttime you know it has gone mainstream. Nobody gives a shit about Donaghy outside of NBA nerds. Racism? Go jerk off to Philly boy on ESPN 3's replay of WSOP 2005 or whatever, ok Forest?

you need a bong hit, take it ezzzzz dogggie.

aside from your condescending comment , you made some valid points.

I wasn't talking about the other sites, I was speaking directly about ESPN. I dunno to me I just see dogs and the other story I see a direct possible way of shutting down the great game we love. And I am the crazy one? *shakes head*

[BacktoBasics]

You calling this racism sets back black rights a good 20-30 years. Good job you ignorant assfuck.

And therein lies your problem.

You call out one for its news judgment when the others are left alone, and then you go as far as to label them racist at that.

Either you've been taking too many hits, you're an idiot or you're just not funny.

I'm guessing it's a healthy mix of all three.

that's a lame defense argument of "leave it alone(don't point it out)". GTFOH :blah :blah

so by using that we should believe everything we see and we must act like robots.

Actually, it's a defense of "you don't know what the hell you're talking about."

As long as Scoop Jackson and Stephen A Smith are employed by ESPN, they will definately have some racist tendancies...

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I'd comment...but this looks to be too closely related to being a pitbull thread.

[monosylab1k]

especially that asshole. he could find a way to make a racial issue out of the way a box of cereal is packaged.

[JMarkJohns]

I know. Whitlock got canned from ESPN because he called out Scoop's blatant race-baiting tactics. I never much cared for Whitlock as a personality, but as a writer he's pretty good. His opinions are off many times, but he's got no racial bias. Just the occasional lapse of judgement and reality.

Scoop, as you said, loves to play the race card, and most times, about things that have no shred of racial bias towards one race or another.

[Phil Hellmuth]

ESPN overblowing and overanalyzing this story because Vick is a black man and the dog is the white mans best friend.

Screw that fat piece of trash Whitlock!!! Anybody who refers to young black men as the new KKK needs to shut the hell up!!!

Boy that bulb gets dimmer and dimmer with every post.

[Mister Sinister]

I never understood racism. Misanthropy's more fun.

[samikeyp]

Vick is going to plead guilty and ESPN still has him on their front page.


More racism I guess. :rolleyes

I would have to disagree with this somewhat.

I have heard Whitlock on more than one occasion play the race card. Scoop is probably worse about it, but Whitlock has done it too.

[marini martini]

Can't we all just get along???????????????

oh those one sentence jabs.

i have never seen those before on spurstalk, ever!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

oh those one sentence jabs.

i have never seen those before on spurstalk, ever!true, but it still doesn't make what you said any less idiotic

[Phil Hellmuth]

true, but it still doesn't make what you said any less idiotic

okay, you disagree. It really doesn't deal with intelligence (this subject). It is a situation where I have a minority opinion.

[CuckingFunt]

okay, you disagree. It really doesn't deal with intelligence (this subject). It is a situation where I have a minority opinion.Actually, when you title a thread as "proof", it's a matter of a bit more than just "opinion."

oh jesus, here comes mr. nitpicker... don't take everything literally. Maybe the tone is a bit overwhelming on that title... obviously I didn't mean it as fact and forgot a question mark or to include it as a facetious statement.

[CuckingFunt]

oh jesus, here comes mr. nitpicker... don't take everything literally. Maybe the tone is a bit overwhelming on that title... obviously I didn't mean it as fact and forgot a question mark or the one bit facetious.Don't get all pissy just because I pointed out a legitimate discrepancy.

And, since I'm already picking nits, the fact that you didn't mean it as fact, forgot a question mark and were being facetious is not obvious.

[Phil Hellmuth]

I can't believe I get called crazy and idiotic for claiming something like this. Do people not think racism exists in media? I mean come on now, wake the f!!! up.

[CuckingFunt]

I can't believe I get called crazy and idiotic for claiming something like this. Do people not think racism exists in media? I mean come on now, wake the f!!! up.I don't think that people are denying the existence of racism in the media, I think that people are just pointing out that this particular "proof" ain't it.

[Phil Hellmuth]

Stubborn on that proof thing i see..

I was pointing an instance.

I think it has validation of being an example.

[CuckingFunt]

End of argument.

[monosylab1k]

From what I see, Whitlock tends to play the "anti-race card", for lack of a better phrase. Sometimes it seems like he makes a concerted effort to take the "white" side of things in order to distance himself from the Scoop Jackson's of the world, whether he truly believes the stance he's taking or not.

Amount of NFL fans > Amount of NBA fans

It's the start of football season. Come November it'll be all Donaghy all the time.

Saying theres racism when there isn't racism.

I've never seen that before!!!!!

Since Funt is a woman...wouldn't be Ms. Nitpicker? :)

saying Funt is a woman is a pretty grand assumption. Mr. works just fine with CF
