IMO, white folks need to get over the "White Guilt" complex. I owe jack [Mark May] to any ethnicity, because I've never discrimated against any. If I can't call a black person a ******, a Hispanic a spic, a Japanese a jap, or a Chinese a chink, then they sure as [censored] can't use an anti-white slur at me. Same with any racial term or saying.

But again, it goes back to Hugley being African-American. He can say something like that without repercussion. It's alright for him to use that kind of stereotype in their eyes.

If Scott Van Pelt were to say something along the lines of "well, he probably grew up without a father" with regard to an African-American athlete he would be apologizing in the next segment.

Dunno about stereotypes, but more ESPN stupidity - Ivy League has no athletic scholarships.

Not really showing how ESPN is stupid, but it doesn't deserve a new thread...

NFL nixed Nixon bid on TV blackouts

WASHINGTON -- The NFL, which is trying to maintain its TV blackout of home games that don't sell out, missed an opportunity 40 years ago to preserve an even more restrictive policy when it rebuffed an effort by President Richard Nixon to lift the hometown blackout just for playoff games.

On a previously unreported tape recording, now in the National Archives, Nixon told his attorney general to offer the league a deal: Allow playoff games to be televised in the hometown city, and the president would block any legislation requiring regular-season home games to be televised. At the time, the NFL blacked out all home games, whether they were sellouts or not.

The president was a serious fan and in the early 1970s, he shared the anger of Washington residents who couldn't watch Redskins games on TV, former aides recalled.

Glad to hear the last time the Blackout issue was addressed was when the Nixon administration was in the White House. :shake: That was when there was what? 4 channels? Get with the times NFL.

ABC, NBC, and CBS. Not sure what the fourth network would have been. In the mid-'60s through early '70s, in Youngstown you could get the three Y-town affiliates (I think channels 21, 27, and 33 IIRC) and when the weather was good the Cleveland affiliates (2, 5, and 8 IIRC), and sometimes even the Pittsburgh affiliates (if you had one of those big, rotating directional antennas). So, you could get up to nine channels, but they were still ABC, NBC, and CBS stations.

I wasn't even imagined of then, so I'll leave it to you "old timers" to figure that out. :biggrin:

I still think the Blackout rule is unbelievably ridiculous and out-dated.
