What to say that hasnt been said. Bottom line up front - This show is the worst. ESPN would have never acquiesced to something like this 5 years ago.
Just because there is a temporary after shock from the Pandemic called BLM (Black Lives Matter) does not mean that networks, corporations etc should hire less educated, less articulate, and basically less intelligent or talented commentators, just because they are black.
White priveldge or any other cute synical racial undertones Key and Jay want to throw out - was not how Mike Greenberg, Dan Lebetard, Tony Kornheiser, Scott Van Pelt, Steve Levy, Trey Wingo, Kenny Mayne and many other much more educated and articulate white ESPN commentators got hired
They got hired because of their education and talent - and they have proven it over time on what used to be the best sports entertainment network every created. KJZ and other current shows on ESPN and ESPN podcasts are unfortunatley proving ESPN has lost its way, and more importantly ignoring the facts and ratings trends and of course its loyal viewer following who is searching frantically for another option.
