nico002 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Blaming this hacks inability to do basic sideline reporting on ESPNs desire for diversity is 100% racist. There are hundreds of qualified black/Latin/Asian reporters who could do that in their sleep. The fact that this guy happens to be incompetent has nothing to do with his ethnic background.

He sounds like he's doing Cruz Azul vs Club America. It sucks. It's not football and you can't make it be football just because you desire to.

rangerous Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 this is what happens when you try to secure a different audience. in this case espn is trying to appease the snowflake crowd but at the expense of the usual beer swilling bar goer. the problem here is that the snowflakes will never be fully on board with the nfl because of the concussion issue and nobody watches any sports game because of the color commentary. a tv commentator is like a baseball manager in that he/she can lose an audience but never gain one.

Poor job on their part, unless they were just looking for something to go viral. They definitely had to know Namath was wasted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, most former coaches and players that get these jobs get them based on their name recognition. While Rex was not great last night I actually think he has potential. The sideline reporter's sole qualification was his "background" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN let go of just about everyone else. They had to go into the deep roster for him. Feet to the fire is how a lot of the talent learns. I'm sure if given another shot (and he should have been last night), he'll be much better and more relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
