I don't know that, I watch some of these clips on YT but mostly because of Stephen A. Smith who's like usually around Kellerman. What's the racist knock on him? If it was serious enough they'd have fired him though?

You know what, I forgot that there’s multiple ESPN anchors who say stupid crap all the time. I mistook him for Will Cain, sorry about that.

Will Cain is still there so they didn't fire him either?

Kellerman's been saying Tom Brady fell off the cliff for three years and the Patriots made the Super Bowl all three years including two wins. Kellerman is a complete douchebag if you ask me. Wouldn't pay him to cut my lawn 

Oh hes horrible.   Deemening Kobe Bryant any chance he gets.  Hes horrific

I wrote him some great ones. I’d love if he’d take me up on my offer to beat his ass in a 5km. The Athletics community is close-knit, we look after our own, and don’t take kindly to being attacked.

Yep, fans like you and me, actual athletes themselves, this dude isn't getting much love

Apparently there was some ruckus about people talking about some singer from the 1930's (who had a clear stance against racism judging by her own words) who recorded two now controversial songs, including a clearly satirical one that was also popularized by an African-American singer. Here's some random weirdos yelling at each other and calling it a discussion even though they're not actually discussing:

I wonder if that was before South Africa got eliminated from qualifications.

Yesterday in Andujar, Spain,  Yulimar Rojas produced the second farthest triple jump of all-time with a jump of 15.41m. It is only 9cm shy of Kravets WR.

Wow! You can put that down as one of the performances of the year  

 

Too bad the video doesn't really show the attempt apart from replays and her reaction
