"From a strategic standpoint, launching a site geared toward African-Americans is a no-brainer for ESPN. According to the network’s research and analytics department, 29 million African-Americans visit ESPN every week and spend an average of 9 minutes, 23 seconds on the network’s various platforms -- 80 percent more than the average ESPN consumer. According to Nielsen, ESPN ranks behind only Black Entertainment Television in cable network viewership among African-Americans between ages 18 and 49. According to comScore, among digital’s top 100 entities, ESPN ranks ninth in African-American composition. ESPN president John
Skipper said the launching of the website is one more step in dismantling white supremacy in not only the sports world but America."
>>67650308
No way this is true. Just no way.
>>67650324
>>67650308
Except ESPN is already targeted towards blacks retard
Seriously... what?
Isn't it better to try to beyond this obsession with race? Why make it the defining element?
This is counter productive and almost condescending. Like an ESPN for kids or something.
I fucking give up.
ESPN has been crap since Disney bought them in '96. Now they've hit rock bottom and are still trying to sink lower.
>>67650308
Wan't this Whitlock's project before he became a dictator turbonigger that wasn't getting anything done? Wasn't this like 5 years in the making to be a supposed "black grantland?"
Also, what's different about this from normal ESPN? Just replace a small blurb on the NHL or NASCAR with another story about LeBron or Curry? Or my personal favorite: the coalition on getting more blacks in baseball that pops up around every year's "Jackie Robinson Day."
>>67650365
Or their ESPNW, I also find condescending
WE WUZ TYEMPYUNZ N SHIT
Film the whole thing in a barber shop.
>>67650308
>29 million African-Americans visit ESPN every week
there are ~45 million blacks in the usa and we have to believe 2/3rds visit espn every week, ok
>>67650308
This is racist desu, cucks.
>no white only websites cause MUHH OPPRESION MUH SLAVERY
>>67650395
Are you in the target demographic?
And also in London?

getting mixed signals here
>>67650437
They literally have nothing else to do during the day. That's why when you're home sick in the US and you turn on the tv during the workday, a lot of channels that do not cater to the "stay at home mom" or retiree crowd have commercials for ambulance-chasing lawyers, cash settlements, online degrees, and check cashing.
So yes, I believe that a ton of blacks go on ESPN.com or put on ESPN at home or watch it in a bar or barber shop.
>this is the world we fought two world wars and nuked Japan twice for
>>67650515
>The wrong side won
The price we pay.
so this site is actually legit? googled it and it seems real
Why can't we just watch sports for sports? Sports is suppose to be an escape from this bullshit.
>>67650561
I know it's from cuckspin/sjwspin but here is an article about just how fucked this is going to be:
http://deadspin.com/here-is-the-insane-playbook-for-jason-whitlocks-black-1700506507
Whitlock isn't even a part of ESPN anymore and this was his baby. I hope this crashes and burns worse than the Hindenburg.
>Americans has segregation
>some Americans complain
>it ends
>other Americans complain
>somehow convince blacks to self-segregate
>Americans still complain
Jeez make up your mind
The SJWs make it harder and harder to not hate black people.
“We want to be the premier destination for exploring the intersection of race, sports and culture,” he said. “We exist because the race part is in there, but sports will be the center of it so white people need to see they are not in control anymore.”
>>67650515
The nukes actually turned them into a far better country.
>>67650596
This, makes me happy that ESPN is crumbling and will be forced to shut this site down in 2 years to reduce costs
>>67650636

you making a website dedicated to a race isn't helping you fucking morons

but they are, and making a website centered on 13% of the population doesn't change that in any way
>Implying niggers are too stupid to search online for articles and videos that are relevant to their interests.
Way to keep on patronizing minorities, sjws, that's sure to be the answer to end racism in America.
I'm not even going to check it out because I don't want to give them their precious hits and page views.
>white people aren't in control anymore
yes they are, that's why you had to make your own website

If they're allowed to launch a website that just covers black athletes, am I allowed to start a site that just covers white athletes?
Or would that be seen as "white supremacist"?
And if so why?

>Doing everyone else a favor but they feel empowered
>Go back to having separate white's only restaurants, restrooms, etc.

Do you know what's the funny thing about that image? They cropped out the white guy that also stood with them in solidarity and fought for black rights. Because white people need to be the enemy.

It'll be pushed by some of the higher ups but it won't go anywhere. If anything, this is simply segregation. "Stay off our websites, niggers."

No. We make them pay extra for cable that has regular channels in Spanish. All they get with the basic package is Telemundo and Univision.
i dont want to vote for trump but these motherfuckers are making me really think about it
Niggers desu senpai
Was there ever any doubt?
>>67650308
They already have that. It's called ESPN.
so basically its about basketball and football only.
>>67651180
This. I don't know if I can handle 8 more years of SJW garbage being shoved down my throat.
>>67651180
They are forcing this shit from all angles and will continue to do so if things don't change. The choice is yours
ITT: butthurt white people.

Also embarrassed black people, lets be fair
>>67651258
>>67651276
>>67651306
Exactly. This whole venture seems a bit redundant. Although ESPN is happy that they won't even have to bother with golf, hockey, or auto racing anymore to give the people what they obviously want: more twitter coverage and nbs/nfl talk. All day, every day.
>>67650638
It mellowed them out, they were by far one of the most bloodthirsty nations in history. Their whole economy was based on spending money so their military could take over all of Asia.
>>67651282
MOM! MOM!
COME LOOK AT MY 4CHAN!
I USED SJW AGAIN!
MOM!
>>67651381
Instead they're the most developed country in Asia. I'd say things have worked out in their favor.
>>67651099
Already got that

Fucking retard.
And they wonder why ESPN is losing money left and right?
Not to mention their outdated tv deal which is going to be their death knell in the future once cable companies go a la carte?
shit like this just keep build a wall behind whites and blacks, if they really care about equality why creating a website only for that kind of people
>>67651488
WHATCHU MEAN "DAT KINDA PEEPOLE," CRACKA?
>>67651467
They're losing money because they overspent on the NBA and nobody actually watches the games they show until the playoffs start. People talk about the money the NBA is generating but that's mainly from merchandise.
>>67651382
Calm down, cuck.
>>67651508
>>67651514
Exactly. ESPN pushed so hard for NBA talk and news not only to cater towards blacks but also to use the rest of their media platforms to advertise for their NBA games.
But their tv deal is fucking crazy. Each household pays over 5 bucks a month to have ESPN even if you don't want it. Their competitors on average have a cost of $0.20 per household. Once all the cable providers allow you to pick and choose channels based on personal preference, their revenue stream is going to plummet. Disney already knows this and is shaking in their boots. Their stocks are already taking a hit and it's only the start. ESPN's clearing house is only the start.
>>67651508
>Italy
>white
>>67650703
i wonder if he's flipped on that position since then, i hope not because i love that negro, but it wouldnt surprise me
>marketing-based company takes action to further cater to a growing/dominant demographic
I don't see what the problem is
so its only a website? if it isnt world star or one of the social medias, i seriously doubt they would offer up anything blacks would want to see that they couldnt just get there
>where da fights and da hoes at, i aint reading no essays i aint in school nigga
>>67651741
Black people like to read too dumbass
>Launched on the anniversary of a major desegregation milestone
>Its only purpose is to segregate white viewers and black viewers
>>67651828
Well I doubt this website is going to offer much in terms of thought provoking pieces, probably just NFL/NBA memes and tweets and top 10 black lists
>>67651180
He's the only one who can put a stop to this desu. The only thing "social justice" does is segregate and alienate us from each other
>>67651863
and alot of Rap beefs.
has anyone visited the site yet?
its nothing like i expected. i wish it were a stephen a smith banishment zone

Tumblr pls go
>>67650308
>cropping out the white guy
das raciss
>>67651897
it looks like BET.
I honestly don't think this will do well. Regular black people will just continue to use espn how they always have, and the audience for this is extremely small. Think angry Spike Lee types and your "educated blacks" who have a racial axe to grind. This really adds nothing but further drives a point home that people are different and instead of celebrating differences they are being excluding their site, even in their fucking mission statement to anyone who does not fit their focus-grouped audience of young black people. I really don't forsee thus gaining the traction it hopes to get, especially after the clusterfuck it took to even launch the site.
why dont murican soccer organizations invest into black communities around murica. theyd gain so much from doing it

>>67653262
I wish it were the case, but unfortunately The Undefeated exists because the powers that be at ESPN felt as though there wasn't enough of a black presence in sports and in their media channels.
personally, I like it. ESPN can put all the bad 'black twitter' and race stuff on its own site that can be easily ignored.
then they can start focusing just on NBA and NFL and MLB and College Sports, so ESPN in general can be easily ignored. I think that's rather lovely.
>>67653682
so when are we going to get the pan sexual website since espn is going full libertard
>>67650308
seems racist
>>67653682
the main headline on espn.com now is about rappers. ESPN is officially more BET than BET.
>>67652911
blacks think soccer is a rich kid sport. no joking here. its pretty funny how out of the loop they are about most things.
>>67650308
>>67650365
Liberals have gone full circle. They fought against segregation of blacks and now promote it.

Maybe we will see less sjw articles on espn now. Probably not though

So you can tell them your thoughts on daily questions. Get after it lads.
>>67659885
I don't believe they are necessary, which is why the whole site should be removed, because it IS an atrocity.
>>67659885
This won't last long.
>ESPN making more unnecessary shit
Where da sports at?
I think it's fine. We should have more of that in the world.
>>67661177
agreed, separate but equal was a fine policy and should never have gone away
>The Undefeated
So slavery was a draw, or...?
>>67650373
damn was it that long ago? they were alright up until a few years ago so i thought they bought them recently.
i mean shit, just look at how long it took them to kill star wars. they'd had the rights for like 15 minutes
Click bait to race bait
It will fail of course. It's heavy on articles, not box scores, and we all know niggers can't read.
>>67662271
This, we suck at reading and life
>>67663344
It's okay, hopefully you guys disown black "leadership" eventually, because we know how counter productive it is to only preach on blaming whites rather than focusing on the actual issues
>>67662271

>>67650608
this is actually all your fault, dutchman.
>>67650308
So was ESPN not diverse enough or something? Was it pandering to white people somehow? How does one even do that in sports?
>>67651920
It's actually kind of fucked up, Tommie Smith wouldn't approve of that at all.

I hope to God that the SEC will not resign with ESPN in the next contract. Which is like 15 fucking years or some fag shit. I would literally never watch it again if fox sports got the SEC sports. Fuck baseball and basketball. I can deal with missing a game or 2.
American blacks are the most pathetic people on earth always thinking they are the specialist of special snowflakes. Dunno how the rest of you Americans put up with them, blacks and Muslims in our country wouldn't even pull this shit
Does this mean that NBA coverage won't be shitting up ESPN anymore?
Will we actually get to see hockey highlights on SC instead of a bunch of niggers running around?
