Espn's Mike Coppinger blocked from covering Spence-Crawford

[IronDanHamza]

How do I know? Because in the case of Teddy Atlas he himself has explained why he got removed from ESPN. It didn’t involve race.

Stephen A. Smith might be bigger but he is not more knowledgeable or better qualified than Coppinger when it comes to boxing.

Oh and what was the reason Atlas gave? And how do you know Teddy Atlas wasn't given a bogus reason and the real reason isn't because he is ***ish?

Are you trying to say that it isn't possible that he was removed because he was ***ish?

You do know that just because a white person is replaced by a black person that doesn't that mean that the reason they were replaced is due to their race, right? I just want to make sure you're aware of that.

I don't think you're actually aware that your claim is totally baseless, that's the worrying part here.

...How do you know the real reason isn't because he's ***ish?

Because he got replaced by Mark Kriegel who is a ***?

Because he got replaced by Mark Kriegel who is a ***?

I thought you said Atlas wasn't replaced by a *** that's why it can't be about race?

Atlas wasn’t replaced by a ***, though. That’s why I wouldn’t have claimed anything like that.

Uh oh

So he was replaced by a *** or wasn't? Which one is it?

You're an idiot mate, plain and simple.

You've baselessly asserted that Mike Coppinger has been removed from the broadcast because he's not black. In the process making a total fool out of yourself as per usual.

I'd keep it moving if I were you.

Did Copponger say he was denied because of race? In fact, who has said that other than your clown ass? Nobody.

I don't even care about the boxing knowledge of Stephen A or Coppinger. I'm not watching the fight because of either one.

The issue is that Coppinger was removed because they didn't like what he was reporting. What does that have to do with race? Not a damn thing.

Stephen A is a big name. Bigger than Coppinger. So they replaced him with Stephen A who is not some random, unknown, black guy from ESPN. None of that has a racial aspect to it. You just tried to create one because you have an anti-black agenda. It is what it is.

Coppinger has always been pro PBC in many of his articles. It could be that he got criticized for it and started writing fair and balanced. That must have piqued PBC people's interest in thinking twice about him.

That's true. He's always been suspected of being a PBC shill. Don't know what he did to incur the wrath of the SHO establishment. He's the guy who made a fake claim Luis Ortiz made $ 7 mil in the Wilder rematch just to justify Ortiz made the right decision in turning down the previous offer from DAZN. People were wondering where the money would come from when Thurman/Porter was 10x bigger and both guys made $1 mil each, not to mention the fight was on free TV.

That’s what I get for even entertaining your semantical bull****. Cong**** Dan, you finally got me to slip up and fall for one of your little gotcha games.

Still the bigger picture here is that ***ishness played zero role, EITHER FOR OR AGAINST, in Teddy’s removal. Based on his own explanation of why he was fired.

The PBC side still blocked Coppinger and replaced him with Stephen A. Smith, though. And has seen Wilder give exclusives to 78sportstv. That hasn’t changed.

Funnily enough it still ends up supporting my main point anyway. Since the bigger picture here is that ***ishness played zero role, EITHER FOR OR AGAINST, in Teddy’s removal. Backing his own explanation of why he was fired.

***ishness played zero role? Hold on, you said;

Atlas wasn’t replaced by a ***, though. That’s why I wouldn’t have claimed anything like that.

So how could you possibly say him being ***ish played zero role when you've said above you only didn't make that claim because he wasn't replaced by a ***?

So surely if you're consistent you will admit that Atlas was removed due to race? Like you are here with Coppinger?

You can't have it both ways.

Either race has nothing to do with it or it has everything to do with it. You can't pick and chose when it does.

I knew better and should have watched out for you trying to get me on some detail. But I’m getting ready to watch this card tonight so I got a little careless.

Always thought of Teddy as being Catholic, but he does have a ***ish father. I was an inaccurate about that. Oh well.

Race plays such a non-role in his removal that in the bigger picture it doesn’t matter anyway. I could make that error and he still wasn’t fired for his race.
