Things like this always make me laugh.

Me, too. And I'm white.

MLB umpires comprise a small fraternity, and when one of the black guys tanks a high-profile call, a legion of white guys come out with some specious affirmative action rap. Not accurate and not cool. It's drastically more true of women newscasters and sportscasters than male umpires. In fact, it's beyond insulting. Has everyone had enough of those laughable, know-nothing bimbos on the new MLB Network? When that Hazel Mae gal does her highlight show, it's downright unwatchable.

Doesn't sexism feel better than racism?

Great. But what about having a merely competent and scantly knowledgeable baseball person to bring us the game on what should be a marvelous network? It's an unwatchable joke. It's worse than SportsCenter, something I thought was impossible.

How hard is it to read the news and keep the show going?

Then again I do not watch Fox News either.

It's apparently much too hard for Hazel Mae. She has no baseball sense whatsoever. Her highlight packages are the second-worst baseball BROADcasts I have ever seen.

I do not watch the MLB Network, so I cannot comment on who anchors or who is really on their shows and how good they are.

Please watch Hazel Mae's highlight package ... just once. That'll be all you need.

Even if I did, I do not get upset over anchors. I do not watch for them. I watch because I want information, not to hear them read off a highlight.

Peace

Good grief, can you come anywhere near a relevant comment? Wow!

Just to remind you, the reference was to the advancement of unqualified, untalented, out-of-touch sportscasters solely based on their gender appeal, which was playing off of the earlier affirmative action comment. And do you remember my agreeing with you on that?

Anytime someone does not watch Fox News they are a certain type to people of your political persuasion.

Yeah, we have found that it holds absolutely true about people of your political persuasion.

I no longer watch Fox News either, but probably not for the same reason. There has just been no good news on TV for quite some time now.
