What are you waiting for?
So , according to ESPN (and this is reading between the lines, they can't openly say it because they have no balls to report opinions directly) the entirety of the NFL is now homophobic for not drafting Micheal Sam, the presumably first openly gay nfl player. He had been projected to go in the 4th or 5th round of the draft, at this point in time its well into the 6th round and he hasn't been drafted.
Because he hasn't been drafted yet, the nfl and all its teams are now homophobic, according to ESPN, merely because according to their talking heads he should have been drafted higher. Gotta love socialist agendas embedded into sports media, right?
Whether he gets drafted or not, I don't care, if the kid has talent he'll play in the league, making money is FAR FAR FAR more important than whether he is gay or not....... but the sports media, give me a friggin break ........ if you care SO much about wehether a dude is gay or not, go be a gay rights activist and stop pretending to be a sports talking head.
What I want from ym sports media talking heads are people that actually talk about sports, not social issues of the day. We already have a political news media that covers social issues ad-nausium as it is......... I watch sports to unplug from reality, not get hounded by talking heads' oscial opinions of the day that will literally change as the wind blows........ it doesnt make you more popular, so build a bridge and get over it.
By highlighting these social issues and hounding on them, instead of focusing on the sports you cover, you do the sport you cover a disservice. Not only is your time taken away from being a good sports reporter/evaluator, but the sport you cover is losing popularity as a result, due to it not getting accurate covereage.
Now, if you talking heads want to do a speech somewhere OUTSIDE of the sports media/range, say a high school commencement address or a paid speech and you want to talk about social issues then, by all means, go for it. But as sports media guys, your job is to cover the sport, not include things that dont matter outside of sports, into sports.
I WANT MY SPORTS BACK!
