quote:Nobody involved with the NBA has been as outspoken as Popovich. It is instructive to remember that he has a military background: He was team captain and leading scorer at the Air Force Academy, and he later coached there. Perhaps because of that, his team’s locker room sometimes feels like a graduate seminar in modern American history. Popovich has arranged events for the Spurs with Cornel West, the activist and Harvard professor, as well as Barry Scheck, one of O. J.’s lawyers and the cofounder of the Innocence Project. One day, he assembled his players to screen an Emmett Till documentary. “Tears are coming down,” he recalls. “And I say, ‘Boys, you play basketball. You know how important basketball is? Zippo. It’s your job. You make money. Put it in the bank. Take care of your families. But there’s a frickin’ world out there, and you’ve got to understand where we live.’ ” Pop is good people

In another shining example that Hot Takes are not just an American problem but an international one, former England international Stan Collymore says all political protests and symbols in sports should be banned

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:In another shining example that Hot Takes are not just an American problem but an international one, former England international Stan Collymore says all political protests and symbols in sports should be banned I don't disagree, so long as he takes it to the logical conclusion and removes all political imagery. Don't play the anthem, don't have the forced military interlude, remove all ceremony and bullshit from sports. Just have it as a performance. Like I go to movies and plays and they don't play the anthem before it. There is literally no good reason to play the anthem before a sporting event.

We don't do it here except before cup finals and international matches, and even in a five day cricket match the anthem is played at the start of the game, not at the start of every day's play

Just this year, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated got extremely defensive about that player claiming fans at Fenway are racist for you know, shouting the n-word at him. Andy Benoit of Sports Illustrated has spent the last year claiming, against roughly... oh, anyone who's ever watched film that Kaepernick is complete garbage who doesn't belong on an NFL roster. It's kind of a trend with those guys.

I'm sure these extremely popular business ventures are eager to publicly renounce the concept of patriotic displays as being too politically charged.

There is a zero percent chance that anyone currently working at Sports Illustrated thinks that it will be around for another 30 years so what you get is puffed up (mostly white dudes) coasting on the reputation of SI. And when that is true, you have little reason to try and be where the sports world is headed and every reason to be defensive about the sports world that was a decade ago. Sports Photo Manipulated.

Since the pivot to video has become such a common topic around here:Columbia Journalism Review posted:A pivot to video is really a “pivot to declining pageviews,” as Digiday noted. The numbers are chilling: “According to data from comScore, the publishers that pivoted to video this summer have seen at least a 60 percent drop in their traffic in August compared to the same period from a year ago.” The full article is here and also has some interesting stuff about how Facebook and Google dominate digital ad revenues.
