What happened in Oklahoma is typical ESPN turning race into a storyline- yes a storyline. I think Vince McMahon runs ESPN now. I dont condone use of that language, but they saw another opportunity, just like when Rush Limbaugh made that comment last year (What was he doing on that show to begin with).
A casual conversion in private, and they turn it into news. Anything for a buck ESPN, anything for a story. A guy with a crystal clear record ruined in 1 night, just so ESPN can afford to put another pepi machine in the newsroom.
