The funny part is ESPN can't wait to applaud this decision under the guise of some sort of bravery or whatever the fock which in turn obviously appeases China also, hell, bonus for ESPN. It's a crazy thing, completely worth noting and commenting on. It's what we do here. Nobody is crying or outraged but, it's a point and laugh situation and move on. Like most of y'all's liberal garbage, it's hilarious. Ever buy anything from China? You support a communist dictatorship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who were the other nominees? I stopped caring about the ESPY’s when I was in high school and Cael Sanderson didn’t win best male athlete after going 159-0. yah I dont care about the ESPYs but I dont see them giving an Oscar for best actor to some Chiner either we have seen how they cater to the CCP honestly dont care, dont watch the olympics, espn or espys but know fock China Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The espy's used to be a popular event, it no longer is, this is part of the reason why that is the case. The Jimmy V & Stu Scott's cancer speeches were at the espy's, riveting stuff. Too bad those things aren't likely to take place again, nobody watches. The ratings are absolutely abysmal. ESPN used to be an escape, many fond memories of when I was a kid tuning in for highlights, it was literally the only thing I watched, ESPN & Sportscenter. Now, the entire network is unwatchable.

Tell us more about how Gu, with 2 golds and a silver at 17 years old, doesn't even deserve to be the best "breakthrough athlete." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 7,511 Posted July 21, 2022 I had no idea there was an issue around Lightyear so I looked it up and there’s a guy on guy kiss in a montage. Two questions: 1) Is that all the woke stuff in the movie or is there more? 2) Is that all it takes for a movie to be “woke”? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That franchise had a built in fan base spanning multiple generations I haven't seen it but, it's very odd that it failed so miserably. Should have been a can't miss hit.
