OAN
So now ESPN is spearheading an effort to get OKState coach fired for wearing an One America News T-shirt.
I watched them a few months ago. I found their production to be basic and slightly amateurish, but I found them also to simply report the news - I didn’t see the bias fro the MSM nor of Fox.
Clearly, the MSM is threatened by this group as they have turned their cancel culture against OAN. It is clearly inferred that Gundy is a racist for even wearing the T-shirt, and the AA youth have apparently been told that it is racist.
Free speech is most certainly under assault - ironically from the Left wing media who used to trumpet the right to free speech before they became the entrenched power themselves.

What an absurd argument. You link a comedian who
puts together a montage of Trump calling on OAN (and not an equally available montage of him calling on other networks).
You and the hyper partisan liberal comedian also assume that because Trump appears to like them that they are evil and extreme.
That is your reason for ESPN calling them a racist organization - because you consider Trump a racist.
I contest this buffoonery. Trump is less of a racist than Biden.
Trump achieved the lowest unemployment rates for AA citizens ever before COVID hit, and the Dems refused to come out of lockdown to take it away and keep their votes on the plantation.
Trump enacted prison reform that Obama and Dems ignored for 8 years, and he undid much of Biden’s 1996 legal reform bill which the AA community feels unfairly targeted them.
I havent been watching OAN, but I believe that we need an alternative to the open propaganda of the msm, and I support anyone giving it a shot. I most certainly check into them now.
The MSM does not want it’s turf threatened.
And never again link a buffoonish comedian as a credible source of anything. It just makes you look bad.
ESPN is deperately trying to stay relevant, so
now they are purporting to be a social warrior. Yea, right
Their Sirius radio shows with Stephen A Smith, Max WhateverHisNameIs, and the other idiots is beyond
belief.
S. Smith used to be on gym TV once in a while,
and i thought could there be anyone dumber and more obnoxious?
That's their audience now, baby boomers and african americans, everyone else is pretty much
upwardly mobile and cutting the cord. Most kids these days have been on iPads watching VOD since they were 4 years old
the oan website is down, too. free speech is dying right before our eyes.
this can't just be coincidence. it is a news service that just reports real news, not propaganda. in fact, they got kicked from the white house briefing room, so their politics are not an issue. the attack on the first amendment has reached another level.
Blame Gundy for being a coward.
He could've laughed and told everyone, "No, I'm not apologizing for anything."
He did it for recruiting, but he should have held true, and now he is gone anyways. I agree.

I saw his "apology" on Twitter. The comments are pretty much in line with your coward remark
and I agree with you. RB is triggered by a T-shirt and he has to hold the coach accountable for wearing the shirt. I'm wondering if wearing a CNN shirt would draw the same reaction?
I wouldn't want that child on my team.

Me neither. I also couldn't play for or respect someone who caves that easily.

Gundy's views blow with the Brees?

And he would have lost the locker room at a minimum if he did that, and maybe even been fired.
It's not his job as a college football coach to stand up to the mob. He wants to keep earning his millions, not lose his job on principle. Who can blame him?
Disagree. He can't be fired over this without a big payout, and he is now gone anyways given what
this will do to the program & his recruiting.
I would be curious to see how many had the same opinion as Chubba.
That will never come out and I'm sure anyone who didn't have an issue with the shirt will keep quiet. It's shown that if you speak against this "movement" you are shouted down and called a racist.
Exactly, he’s had opportunities to go to better programs, he just wants to cash checks
