ESPN’s Bomani Jones thinks that Donald Trump’s supporters are people who merely “revel in their whiteness.” Which should make for totes awesome television the next time Bomani interviews former Heisman winning running back Hershel Walker aka “the reveling whitey” on the air.

There is a new face of white privilege in America, and it’s not a millennial having brunch in a Manhattan restaurant while getting publicly ridiculed. Oh no, the new face of white privilege is Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. Well, according to ESPN’S Stephen A. Smith anyway.

ESPN’s nosedive quest to find the absolute bottom of the cultural and moral pit appears to continue unabated.

In this week’s edition of “Oh my God, I can’t believe that ESPN guy said that! How in the world has he not been suspended yet?!” we actually harken back to last week, for while you and yours were preparing to gather with kith and kin to celebrate the joyous holiday and giving thanks for the abundance that hath been bestowed upon us, ESPN’s Bomani Jones was doing all he could to sow the seeds of race-mongering hate.

Because racism is seemingly the answer to everything at ESPN, analyst Robert Flores was able to easily ask and answer his own question during a highlight reel on SportsCenter when he openly wondered why the Chief’s Travis Kelce wasn’t getting the same amount of criticism for his end zone celebration as Cam Newton received for his.

On Monday’s edition of Around the Horn on ESPN, analyst J.A. Adande was asked whether he bought or sold Redskin Jason Hatcher’s claim that calls --specifically an illegal hit call on Redskin Chris Culliver-- were due to bias on the part of officials toward the Redskins name.

So, pretty much the most ironic and poetically just thing, ever, happened today in the Cowboys locker room. Or, maybe it didn’t. I must insert the disclaimer, since so many n-word accusations turn out to be so much bunk. But if what I’m about to tell you truly went down as Dez Bryant says it did, this is beyond rich.

Grantland was one of ESPN’s affinity sites along with Nate Silver’s Five-Thirty-Eight, and the still yet to be fully developed Undefeated. But though we bury Grantland today, it actually died months ago when ESPN parted ways with its inspiration Bill Simmons.

It was a Friday on local sports radio in Washington, DC. The last broadcast before a Redskins game. So, naturally, ESPN 980’s Tony Kornheiser decided to have political journalist and editor Howard Fineman of the Huffington Post on to talk about Paul Ryan and the Tea Party. Kornheiser, a long time Washington Post sports columnist before moving to radio, wondered: “Are they like ISIS trying to establish a Caliphate here?” Fineman: “Yes! Yes! That’s a very good analogy! Without the violence obviously, but yes, they are a rejectionist front.”

Allow me to introduce ESPN race huckster Bomani Jones. Who made a point of “asking the question” (which is the leftist sports media’s preferred cowardly method for alleging racism without actually having to do it) of whether or not white Redskins QB Kirk Cousins and black Redskins QB Robert Griffin III have been treated differently by the Redskins staff and D.C. sports media, because of race.

In addition to Curt Schilling, there appears to be another person ESPN isn’t too fond of. That would be San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, well, and babies. In a Q&A with fans in ESPN Magazine, ESPN pulled the editorial goalie and allowed an offensive and completely ridiculous question to be lobbed at Rivers, who happens to be the father of a large, and growing family.
