ESPN Perpetuates Culture of Race Lies With Return of Fake Noose Story

ESPN knew that Tuesday’s lie was being tweeted by them. The worldwide leader in liberally slanted sports has created a workplace environment that incentivizes employees to lie by exposing racism and white supremacy – real or imagined, says Outkick’s Bobby Burack.

This week’s big ESPN lie was that, last year, black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace had found a noose in his auto garage stall at the Talladega Superspeedway, the noose supposedly referenced black lynchings from yesteryear, even though ESPN had previously reported that an FBI investigation revealed the rope was actually a garage door opener, had been in place a long time and had nothing whatsoever to do with the threat of lynching.

ESPN made up lies to advertise an episode of E:60. Truth was lost, sensationalism won over dishonesty.

This is commonplace at ESPN, Burack contends, because “the demand for anti-black racism so clearly exceeds the supply, ESPN hosts, producers and writers have had to make desperate reaches and/or skip the fact-checking process to support their arguments.”

The lie about Wallace was that he was a victim of a hate crime and that NASCAR and white people are racist. Notice the date of Dec. 14, 2021 on the Tweet below:

In June 2020, ESPN.com posted a headline stating, “FBI says rope had been in Talladega garage since October; Bubba Wallace not victim of hate crime.”

What is the point of this obvious lie? “The truth is, ESPN has been lying about stories to frame black people as victims and white people as racists for over a year,” Burack wrote, before listing a litany of falsehoods.

For instance, last month Jalen Rose (seen in above photo) said on NBA Countdown that the police in Kenosha, Wis., shot and killed Jacob Blake, an innocent man. He was actually paralysed and not shot to death. Although he was being arrested for sexual assault allegations, police were there to assist him. He refused and presented a knife.

Burack stated at that time, “The script was for NBA Countdown is prepared in advance. While graphics and talking points can be made in advance, fact-checking of facts is not an option.

“This is an egregious programming failure across all parts of the network, particularly considering how tense the country is now and how many people will never know the truth. This segment should not have been covered by ESPN. [Blake] story – it isn’t remotely a sports story at this point – but if they are going to do so the absolute least they can do is manage to get the basic facts correct. The network owes the entire country an apology.”

Jones retorted by saying that police officers are more likely than not to kill blacks. That’s a big fat lie that does nothing to benefit race relations.

Last April, ESPN race-baiter Mark Jones interrupted an NBA game to claim Blake was unarmed.

Less than a month went by when ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski wrote a column further incriminating supposed white racists by repeating the same disgusting lie about Blake being unarmed.

Richard Jefferson, an ESPN host, said that Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state borders with an AR-15. FALSE.

Burack also made the point that talking heads on ESPN’s daily programs make absurdly false accusations. So, for example, the NFL claims it holds back blacks despite having 70 percent of its black players.

Outkick has asked ESPN to comment on some of the above lies, but received no response.

Many ESPN employees suspected it of spreading lies but none had the guts to stand up. No news or sports network in America is more “irresponsible” than ESPN. Its failures are “egregious and inexcusable,” Burack adds. 

Burack blames ESPN’s race-baiting culture on the fearful course its leaders adopted after the George Floyd murder. Sadly and disgustingly, the network’s pattern of lies and disinformation is also a blight upon journalism.
