ESPN Cleaning House

[TheMatrix31]

It's thicker and it's already resulted in obstructed plays.

Absolutely terrible. But I expect nothing less from that network.

I've not seen the suit being banned before anywhere. The only thing I can see is someone wore a white catsuit to Wimbledon and the referee "suggested she wear something else" and she did.

I guess tournament officials were anti-hillbilly when they banned the Aggasi jorts back in the 90's?
Sounds racist to me.

That was a different tournament, in a different country, with an entirely different dress code... And I'm still not sure it was banned, going over the Wimbledon dress code right now I'm not sure if she wouldn't be allowed to wear it or if they would just mandate that it was white. But sure... It was banned prior to her wearing it, even though she obviously still wore it. Gotcha.

This post and the picture of Don Draper is perfect together.

You glossed over the main point I was trying to make of everything being racist, not if it was banned at that SPECIFIC tourney. Seems like her go to card nowadays.

One person does not a problem make. Rather than making it about Ms. Hill (Who I readily admit sometimes looks for things that aren't there) you can make the broader observation that ESPN frontloads their budget with exorbitant salaries for their on air personalities.

Oh man, I came across the LLWS on ABC this weekend and saw the new Bottom Line and was flabbergasted and not in a good way. It's WAY too much, too big and it has the feel of a computer display rather than a sports broadcast.

TSN usually cribs what ESPN does with their bottom line so i'm REALLY hoping they don't follow suit. It's a bit of an eyesore.
