Considering how blacks are grossly over-represented in sports, notably football and basketball, discussion of diversity is ironic.

Football season is over, I'm done with ESPN until next season.

I don't listen to sports channels and I don't listen to the news. Don't have a tv.
That might make me boring but at least I am not ticked off at my radio.
I like my radio. It's handsome, like me.

Absolutely. I used to watch them in the morning if I had time. After the election they went even further PC and I just can't take them anymore. What a couple of pussies they have turned into.

I'm a political animal but I can't stand politics in my sports coverage. Don't watch any network TV anymore except some live sports events, just can't take the agenda.

I canceled my Sports Illustrated subscription a couple of years ago because of the politics, and it appears I will have to cancel my Car and Driver as well as they have started to weigh in on politics more and more also. Ugh!
