Former professional basketball player turned ESPN analyst Jalen Rose took to social media last week to share his thoughts on Mount Rushmore.

'Jalen Rose' ~
???
Name is drawing a Blank...who is he and why should anyone who pays taxes listen to him?

Moron...reads a book from his favorite 'Dis-Historian' and thinks he's smart.

He can leave or better yet, do an Exchange for Brittany the LQBTQ female player.....i'd be up for that!

You should give his opinion exactly the same weight as you give any other non-expert's opinion.

He has a platform, he's using it. Good for him. Doesn't make him right, doesn't make him wrong.

Do you cheer when James Woods, Jon Voight or Clint Eastwood make public statements that are in keeping with conservative positions?

Meh. A big blow up of the words on someone on the C team of broadcasting.

Does anyone watch ESPN ?
I turn them off or change the channel after their support of BLM and 'Da Woke consciousness'

'Yeh, Yeh, yeh....we be Woak' ~!

MAYBE THEY awoke from all the Dope they did in College ?

They're about as woke as the Pope at the Mount Sinai Synagogue ~

His opinion, he's welcome to it.

Doesn't mean I have to pay any attention to it or give it any sort of merit.

But that is ESPN's brand. They have abandoned any pretense of just being a sports network and are totally in the business of political commentary using sports as the clickbait.

I dont think anyone watches ESPN. Theyre the most expensive channel on the cable subscription and only a few let you remove it. ESPNs ratings come mostly from playing at bars, gyms or the safe option for playing at public venues.

We was a punk, and what educational level does he think gives him the right to cancel anything great in American history.
Whatever it is, he does not possess it.

I and a decent number of my friends use to watch ESPN religiously. Now I never turn it on, as I wanted to watch sports analysis and the like, not fools espousing ideology and politics.

He’s one man with one opinion, just like you. He’s saying the term “Mount Rushmore” being used is offensive to Native Americans who were already here.

You can knee jerk react to it all you want “BLM, Civil Rights, WOKE WOKE WOKE, Wah wah wah, boo hoo”… This is America and people are free to express their opinions here. Maybe you’d like China or Russia a lot better, with little commissars on every corner telling you what to say, what to do, and what to think.
