    So you have no basis for claiming ESPN has a woke agenda and ignore all evidence to the contrary because a lot of people are turned off?

    Seems legit.

    I reread the evidence you presented to see if I missed something. I did not find anything that I failed to address. Could you please point me to the evidence you presented that I did not address?

    I actually gave you evidence to refute what you think and you only said you believe that because a lot of people are uncomfortable.

    I gave you links to ESPN's actual policy.

    Why don't you give some evidence?

    Black Lives Matter is against patriarchy and they say so.

    We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures that disproportionately harm black people in Britain and around the world.

    https://es.gofundme.com/f/ukblm-fund

    It's possible that BLM does not closely monitor all of its affiliates, but this type of stuff has gained attention lately and it's still up. The purpose of this type of stuff is simply chaos and confusion because these people have no real plan.

    You believe that they just want to be inclusive to alternative family structures, but it is clear that they want the nuclear family structure replaced.

    Look into the background of their founders. They aren't about the leadership of men. They wouldn't follow a Black man for all the gold in Fort Knox.

    Wiley believes in the nuclear family. He, as well as everyone with eyes to see, sees the results that a de facto matriarchy is producing. He spoke of those results. He also sees that BLM goes against male leadership.

    Someone like Wiley should start their own version of BLM since its outward objective is 100% pure.

    That's all I said? Really? I countered every piece of evidence you provided to support my conclusion.

    A decline in ratings, which I mentioned, supports my conclusion that people are becoming uncomfortable with ESPN's approach.

    If ESPN really cared about losing ratings, and, by extension, money, they would start offering the opposing viewpoints that places like Fox Sports are. They don't have to lose anything, just throw people a freaking bone that are turned off by their politics.

    But they don't, they're even more woke now, and they likely won't, no matter what happens to their ratings. Like I said, they are lucky to have a monster like Disney backing them up.

    The link was not of ESPN's official policy.

    Now, it does say that ESPN does not allow political talk, but, if you watch ESPN like I do (again, it's still entertaining for me), you would see that it's clearly not the case. I posted recent examples of talk that is clearly political to some people. Like I said, it might not seem political to you, but for those that disagree or see that they're disingenuous, it is.

    some posters here are not about the facts, they just need to be confrontational with other posters because it makes them feel important or it's a release.

    this is the problem with D&D, agendas are prioritized over actual topics

    and then you have inferior posters who are jealous of superior posters

    Patriarchy is by definition a system ruled by men where women are largely excluded. BLM is against that, as are many people. They spell that out in the paragraph Wiley took offense too. It IS about being more inclusive.

    Having said that I do not agree with everything done in the name of BLM and was very critical of them when they first emerged.

    If Wiley believes that women should not be in positions of power then I disagree with him.

    I know you people don't care about Atlanta or other US cities
    because you aren't worldly like the 99ers and SICO crew

    But I'd like to follow up on what happened in Atlanta with some hot topic there

    Apparently selling illegal water.
    Who buys water from people on the street anyways??
    Atlanta PD telling people don't buy

    Atlanta youth on this topic

    White kids can sell lemonade though. This is how you create Marxists.

    Bernie Sanders at a suburban Lemonade stand. Hypocrite.
