Black head coaches in the NFL are no big deal nowadays. It’s all about wins and losses. But you’d think there are those in the sports media who want a Black Head Coaches Month.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to Pittsburgh for a game with the Steelers this Sunday, and whaddaya know: there will be two black head coaches on the sidelines. Despite the team dynamics and implications for the rest of the season, any questions about Tom Brady’s unending graceful aging, race AGAIN became a topic during a Buccaneers press conference with head coach Todd Bowles….

It was visually clear during the questioning that Bowles was maintaining composure during the insulting rounds of the media’s soft bigotry of low expectations after his initial response was clearly not what they wanted to hear.

It’s sad but expected that despite their best efforts, people in this society will never be judged alone by their accomplishments but by the assigned race-identifier that precedes they name. Thanks to the traditionally-racist left, we’re still reduced to being black congressmen, black judges, black models, black race car drivers, black CEOs, black professors, black superintendents, black mayors, black directors, black managers, black quarterbacks, and black head coaches.

The sports media racists are a problem that won’t go away as long as the nonathletic can make a living blabbing about those with gifts they weren’t born with. Forty-two years ago, there was actually an NFL game with no play-by-play announcers; just natural crowd noise and public address announcements like those who pay the big bucks at the stadium manage to survive with.

We will never go back to a time when it was just about the teams, players, coaches and not the leeches who fill up the time in-between with nothing of real value to offer.

But one of the media’s near-constant mantras is that President Trump is a racist, his supporters are racists, and he’s made America racist again. One would think these holier-than-thou journalists would lead by example but the news media continues to be the most lily-white of employers in the United States. Sure, you’ll find a smattering of minorities in positions where they can be visually exploited, but blacks (in particular) are relegated to security guard positions at media entrances, in green rooms as makeup artists where they can make their white pundits feel visually better about themselves, or those who drive the limos and transport the important to-and-from the studios.

The White House Correspondents Dinner was a gathering of the overpaid (thus-overfed), self-absorbed narcissists who call everyone else racist while exempting themselves, but visuals don’t lie. CSPAN devoted over 25 minutes after the festivities came to a close to show those, who clearly see themselves are important, hobnobbing with each other as if this was something the American people desired to view.

Here’s a taste of what the journalism elite believed it was an honor for us to behold.

While President Trump was at a campaign event that evening, open for all who could get in the door, the White House Correspondents Dinner was an elitist sideshow for the special. There were a dozen or so minorities visible, but there were probably a lot more bringing out the fancy entrees and wine for the white privileged obese.

Probably most disappointing for the “journalists” was the nixing of the annual “Playboy Party” afterparty.

Bummer.

#ItsOnUs

There was a time when former professionals from the game were handed the mic in the booth and on the sidelines as their insights were pertinent and borne from experience. Instead, we’re now forced to endure the musings of old, balding men trying to act hip as well as what’s supposed to be female eye-candy, both young and over-the-hill. Few have ever put on football pads, played a competitive down (high heels don’t count as cleats) and their opinions are devoid of real value.

ESPN’s nosedive in ratings and online subscriptions continues as they’ve made a point of being a liberal, politically correct, social justice entity that unfortunately has to segue back into a sports topic; a truly astonishing business model they refuse to abandon despite their plummeting media footprint.

Of the hundreds of qualified sports reporters and former players they could have chosen from, ESPN decided to impose on the nation their latest diversity-in-action project: 29-year-old Sergio Dipp, one of their Deportes reporters, who got his shot on the sideline during the Chargers-Broncos Monday Night Football broadcast, and instead of talking about the game, he (ESPN approved) decided to highlight Broncos head coach Vance Joseph and the “diversity in his background”?

When the predictable blowback quickly arrived via social media, an ego-bruised Dipp just had to respond and the only thing missing was a sad, violin music bed….

We’re not sure if it was an ESL issue, but when the blowback ensued, Dipp took it the wrong way and kinda’ made things worse.

Between the millennial arrogance and ESPN’s ongoing quest to bash our heads in with social issues instead of just sports, it’s a shame that all anyone got from Dipp’s sideline flop was that Broncos’ head coach Vance Joseph is black.

As a side note, ESPN Deportes is as lacking in diversity as is most Mexican television where you mostly see whites like Sergio delivering news, sports coverage, and in their novellas. The women dress like hookers and ESPN is clearly respectful of their cultural, albeit blatantly sexist preferences.

Real insight to look forward to is just another reason why some of us haven’t watched anything on ESPN for months, if not longer, and have no intention of consuming in the foreseeable future.

UPDATE

That “diversity” thing seldom works as a substitute for winning…

Having just completed their first back-to-back losing seasons since the early 1970s, the Denver Broncos fired Vance Joseph on Monday, a day after the team finished 6-10.

… which after all is most important to the National Football League, their teams and fans, Sergio.
