Another example of liberal ESPN shaping a story to fit their narrative

[Enfuego]

Here's the quote tweeted out today from Michael Jordan on the racist platform "Undefeated."

MJ speaks out: "I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement"

MJ's full quote:

"I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers. I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well."

ESPN needs to stay the fuck out of politics and concentrate on sports.

I don't tune into ESPN to get political BS

To clarify my poor wording of the original post. MJ's quote was tweeted out by racist "Undefeated." MJ didn't tweet anything.

So really you are the problem? Trying to do the medias job...


Lol just kidding. Yeah I know espn/media are sick fucks

Yes. He said the second longer quote. The Undefeated tweeted it out in the shorter version thus eliminating MJ's reference to the police. They shortened his quote to shape their racist view.

bleacher report and ESPN doing the same thing also

 

[Mr_Mark]

Probably more black kids have died over MJ shoes than by the hands of the police this year ^<<^

ESPN is crap. They know 99% of athletes are black so they have to side with black interest groups or face the black wrath.

Fuck espn and Disney and abc

Espn is media and they report on stories in a way in which they will appeal to a larger audience. I haven't watched them, outside of games, in years. And refuse to use their website due to how terrible it's designed.

 

[KingofNicotine]

Their website crashes my devices on a regular basis. All the bullshit twitter feeds on the side.

Worst website ever.

I watch ESPN for the NFL games, and that's about it.

Why are they racist? I know nothing about them, never heard of them, but I went to their website, and their headline showed MJ's concern with both innocent blacks shootings and Police shootings. Are they racist in your view, simply because they have a black emphasis to what they cover?

Because when "The Undefeated" was launched, they explicitly said the purpose for launching the platform was to highlight the black athlete for the black audience.

As far as Jordan's quote goes, they published half of the quote on twitter so it fit their narrative of cop on black crime but it's not what Jordan actually said.
