Where is the lie?



Also




I can't imagine daddy Disney is happy with him, but I'm glad to see so many ESPN hosts and other sports personalities sticking their necks out lately.

He's right. The right wing shit heads will now start harassing ESPN to fire him though. Hopefully they don't suspend/fire him.

Preemptive "fuck you, ESPN" for when they force him to apologize, or suspend.fire him.

ESPN about to suspend max for a week?

Max also talk a lot about how the federal government fucked up the Covid-response and you can always tell he wants to just outright say Trump fucked it up.

I have family in South Alabama. They believe anything they are told by the GOP or Fox News. Or Facebook. Or any kind of meme.

It's always really concerning when you send someone an article or fact check from a good source that debunks whatever bullshit they're spewing and they say "lol this isn't a trusted source" and then they believe a fake image about goodyears dress code without a question

On ESPN, Dan Lebatard is also extremely strong on the subject with a very strong track record that goes way back. Obviously when the white guy says it, it gets more traction but Max obviously cares about the subject so good for him.

Why he picking on the SEC? B1G and ACC fans ain't fuckin' geniuses either.

But seriously, droppin' truth bombs is going to really piss off the people who were shouting, "FUCK YOUR FEELINGS!" just last week

I thought the same thing. But I'm betting if she was still around ESPN wouldn't dare to say shit this time around. The issue has gotten too big and too popular for it to crack down on people speaking truth.


It should have always been that way though. Jemele got screwed.

His sports take are hit or miss a lot of the time, but his social commentary is always spot on, which is always interesting when they come up during the show, because it's usually his take that's better than SAS on many of these issues, but that could also speak to how poorly SAS tackles many of these issues himself. :P

Max is pretty trash since ESPN is making him shit out hot takes day in and day out. He's significantly better - like night and day - when he's actually talking about something he cares about like boxing.

Lebatard spoke out and got his radio show shortened. Ironically, one of the people who got the part of his show that was cut is Max.

It's true. That crowd seems to have that whole thing down to a science. Brainwashing people into psychos by flooding them with memes and angry shitposts over social media.

Immune to facts is the most accurate and scary one. This is why changing them is damn near impossible. "Fake news" was never a joke it was a dangerous tool used to discredit anything they disagreed with.

Hilariously rather then go after Kellerman directly she instead pivots to make it a point about Disney. So a combination of shifting the blame on something else and treating him differently than she would a black man.

Max 2, Dipshits 0.

Also didn't she and the rest of fox spent like 3 weeks awhile back ripping "cancel culture" for trying to get people fired???

Hold onto your butts, ESPN; you're about to be boycotted and have to listen to "I'M NEVER GOING TO WATCH ESPN AGAIN!" for the 17th time.

Hey pretty smart to put this out now as Trumpers are railing on cancel culture

(I know this has never mattered, Republicans never mind contradicting themselves)
