Golden State Warriors part-owner Chamath Palihapitiya admitted over the weekend that he does not care about the lives of Uyghur Muslims. Those lives don’t matter to him one bit, he says.
A part-owner of an NBA team announces he doesn’t care about Chinese genocide. That’s a massive story. Yet the largest sports-talk network by far won’t address it.
Mediaite confirmed via the media monitoring service TVEyes that ESPN has made exactly zero mentions of Palihapitiya’s comments.
Nothing from Malika Andrews, Jalen Rose, Stephen A. Smith, that dummy Mark Jones, Adrian Wojnarowski, Elle Duncan, Bomani Jones, or any of the other angry wokes at ESPN.
Hey @malika_andrews, @JalenRose, and @wojespn — I'm curious about your thoughts on one of the Warriors owners saying he doesnโt care about Chinese genocide?
I know you guys often say your platform is bigger than basketball. So just curious.

And ESPN has previously covered past NBA part-owners — so Palihapitiyaโs lack of majority ownership is not a factor.ย
In 2019, the NBA fined and banned another part-owner of the Warriors, Mark Stevens, for pushing opposing player Kyle Lowry from his courtside seat during the NBA Finals. Stephen A. Smith, the face of ESPN, ran with this story for days. Notably, Smith called for the NBA to punish Stevens even more.
Smith has no comment on Palihapitiya saying he doesn’t care about genocide. Why is this? The sports media is no different than the NBA.
Both groups have branded themselves around “social justice” and “Black Lives Matter” because it’s advantageous to their marketing campaigns. But whenever the rights of Uyghur or Jewish people are challenged, which is often, these pawns shut up and dribble or tweet. Supporting the lives of any non-black group doesn’t earn you a new contract at ESPN.
“Embarrassing how ESPN isn’t covering one of the Warriors owners saying he doesnโt care at all about Chinese genocide,” OutKick’s Clay Travis tweets. “Clear and transparent protection of their TV partner. MSESPN gonna MSESPN, yโall.”
“You often see agenda based ‘journalism’ based not only on what is covered, but based on what isnโt covered as well. Itโs not just @espn,however, watch how none of woke NBA media will ask players or coaches about it either,” Clay Travis adds. “Total memory hole because it challenges SJW narrative.”ย
ESPN will cover Kyle Rittenhouse, Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Derek Chauvin, Ahmaud Arbery, but draws the line at an NBA owner belittling the lives of Uyghur Muslims. So at ESPN, a white male acting in self-defense is more troubling than modern-day Nazis running actual Muslim slave labor cotton plantations. Obviously.
Pathetic.
Damn..This reminds of of Fox News, Outkick and OAN not mentioning the Domestic Terrorist Attack on the Capitol, The text Messages to Donald Trump by Fox News host or the Oath Keepers being arrested for SEDITION. Funny how that works. Still waiting on Bobby to talk or write about the 7 Republican States that forged the State Electoral votes for Donald Trump, sent the FORGED DOCUMENTS to the NATIONLA ARCHIVES and THE SENATE despite the fact Donald Trump LOST THE VOTE in those 7 states and are NOW being investigated.
HMMMMMMm …Talk about HYPOCRISY
Just wondering how many terrorist attack without any weapons,I watch fox for a hour weeknights and the trespassing of the building is discussed nightly.Joy Reid and you need to have a child if only one could figure out the process.
Maybe they never mentioned the โdomestic terrorist attackโ on the capital because there wasnโt one. You ever think of that dipshit or do you only comprehend democrat talking points. Some fucking insurrection it was, no weapons, no pre planning, no insurrection charges. Just one overcharged person for sedition that has about a zero percent chance of getting a conviction. Your fake Jan. 6 commission didnโt even interview the guy. If he was such a big player maybe they might want to talk to him. Also the fbi didnโt even search his house or look for evidence for the past year. Seems to me if this guy is the mastermind of an โinsurrectionโ maybe theyโd wanna chat with him before he gets rid of any evidence. The charge is for idiots like you and low information voters to make it seem like itโs a big deal. If you actually read the charging documents youโll see it is a joke. He will not be convicted. But idiots like yourself will think this is some huge deal when in reality itโs shit.
Oh and that guy being charged with sedition didnโt even enter the capital building. Heโs a 60 plus year old guy on disability. If our government was ever even close to being overthrown on Jan. 6 by senior citizens with flags than our government is a fucking joke.
The donkey told the tiger:
โฒโฒThe grass is blueโ.
The tiger replied:
โฒโฒNo, the grass is greenโ.
The discussion became heated up, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion, King of the Jungle.
Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming:
โฒโฒYour Highness, is it true that grass is blue?โ.
The lion replied:
โTrue, the grass is blueโ.
The donkey rushed forward and continued:
โฒโฒThe tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me please punish himโ.
The king then declared:
โฒโฒThe tiger will be punished with 5 years of silenceโ.
The donkey jumped for joy and went on his way, content and repeating:
โฒโฒThe grass is blueโโฆ
The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion:
โฒโฒYour Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?โ
The lion replied:
โฒโฒIn fact, the grass is greenโ.
The tiger asked:
โฒโฒSo why do you punish me?โ
The lion replied:
โฒโฒThat has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that questionโ.
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesnโt care about truth or reality, but only the victory of their beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no senseโฆ There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they arenโt. When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.
Ball is the donkey. Donโt bother.
Ball licker is just basically an ignorant negro troll who doesn`t say anything of substance. Just throw it out there and see if anything sticks enough to piss anyone off. He`s black and he`s fucked and he knows it.
C’mon guy, that’s a pretty stupid statement. What does being black have to do with anything? Stupid people come in all shapes and sizes, and we’re all related to at least one…Assassinate character, not color.
Sorry Charles, you’re right, but it was too easy ๐๐๐ That’s the last time for me…FBG is a waste of time
Include some links for your random statements so they can be vetted. I’m the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and I’ve been having an affair with your Mom since before you were born. I guess that makes me your Daddy. I’ll show you mine when you show me yours. ๐๐๐ This is what it’s like to be a super lib…If I say it then it must be true…๐๐๐
espn no different than the “view”. Bunch of “has beens” or never were’s yapping all day long.
Please OUTKICK give us a “silence/block” function so we can skip the comments from users not worth reading. Virtually all other sites do that. We all will be better off.
Wow… Look at Cancel culture Carl. You might be worse than a Karen or Darren. You probably wish you could cancel the NFL and NBA to so you can take your “rightful place”…. Lmbao at Conservatives on a daily basis
I explained to Glenn last time someone said this that asking for a block feature and canceling someone are two different things. Surprising no one, he was either too fucking stupid to read it or too fucking stupid to understand it.
Yes, Glenn Ball-Mason is stupid.
Are you serious? If you don’t like what someone is saying grow some balls and ignore them.
We donโt silence people they do. One of the great things about free speech is you get to see how idiotic some people are. We donโt want that to go away. If we werenโt able to see the childish and bigoted takes by cry baby leftyโs we wouldnโt be able to point and laugh at their ignorant asses. More is better not less.
Espn isnโt going to touch this. But god forbid a career criminal with 19 felony arrest ODs while in police custody….
ESPN gets paid for by China to ass kiss nba and its fans. Using race in multiple different ways.
Criticizing China doesn’t rate on social media, whereas tearing down the USA as racist does. It is all part of the CCP’s insidious plan to rip the United States apart at the seams. Problem is most of the woke SJW types are too stupid to see they are pawns in this dangerous game.
Dumped espn long ago don’t miss it one bit
