This Malika Andrews bullshit is reaching big time boys. She works for Disney ..they don’t let people get out of line..if she reported neg stuff about homies she was just reporting ..not hating on black men. Why would - if someone hated Black men- that person cover a sports that’s 80% black? That doesn’t make sense. Y’all jumping on her bc she’s a mix that dates white men? I can show u a whole lot of NBA athlete that are married to white women. Who cares. Check this out. If this planet doesn’t get hit by an asteroid or something ..in about 20,000 years, maybe less…there’s not going to be distinctive races anymore. Every race will crossbreed until we are all olive skinned, brown haired blue eyed species. I can’t wait til that happens. It may be unoriginal but it will stop all this race bs

I don’t particularly like her but I also don’t think about her at all. I mute the TV and play music when I watch games on ESPN because I can’t stand anyone who works there aside from Breen and Michael Wilbon

[–] MoooonRiverrrr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It’s so weird to randomly choose a woman to be mad at in this whole situation imo.

[–] IDGAFWhatYouThinkLOL@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wasn't DeadSpin trying to frame a 9 year old as racist for wearing face paint of his teams colors?

[–] CrazyPersonXV@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

She can vilify me

[–] TheMentatBashar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I get so many YT recommendations about her because I watch NBA content and it’s all so unhinged, like she’s not reading from a script and beholden to producers. People have a bizarre and unhealthy obsession with her.

[–] RedMoloney@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I got the same problem. I'm a history buff but if I watch three videos about, say, the Civil War in a row my recommendations get clogged up with Joe Rogan and gun reviews. I have to watch like seven baking videos to balance it out.

[–] HereGoesNothing69@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just turn off your YouTube watch history. That's what I do.

[–] IzaacLUXMRKT@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

A baking video a day keeps Joe Rogan away

[–] Tearz_in_rain@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah... I can't count the number of times I've had to down vote Ben Shaprio videos to stop getting alt/right and MRA videos recommended to me.

[–] MedvedFeliz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The trick is to watch in incognito mode any topic that is not usually in your feed. Otherwise, YT will throw every video related to the new topic hoping that you'll get into a rabbit hole.

[–] FuckShitBitch2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So many weird incel videos about this woman.

[–] resipsaloquitor5@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don't even understand the issue people take with the content itself. It seems perfectly fine to me.

[–] DoobieHauserMC@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

She kinda sucks but some of yall are absolute freaks about her, acting like she’s the sole decider of all that is ESPN broadcasts

A lot of it just comes off really misogynist and I really doubt there would be the same response if the exact same shit got said by a man

[–] faithfuljohn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

A lot of it just comes off really misogynist

I've seen the cycle of this subreddit. At first a female journalist will come up, she's get likes and exposure... eventually the amount of people that seem to dislike her will get more and more. And unlike a lot of male journalist, they'll rarely say or do anything controversial.

The reality is, in this society, women get more criticism for doing the same thing a guy does.

[–] Stray_cat_fister@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

She did Jalen Rose dirty!

[–] bigbenis2021@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Stephen A. says the same shit as Malika regarding black athletes all the time and I never see him catch the same amount and degree of flak that she does.

[–] Tearz_in_rain@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think part of it is because he embraces and work on the premise that his views are polarizing, where as Andrews is framed more as the 'objective' journalist.

But you are 100% right.

[–] LoveMavs1031@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The narrative surrounding her is literally just misogyny. The whole thing is so stupid.

[–] felarans0mekuti@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That might be the worst article I’ve ever read. Deadspin is more dead than ever

[–] nipo3487@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You see what’s happening to them after the “racist” Chiefs fan article??

Deadspins user name checks out

[–] ColtCallahan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If we could somehow harness the power of incel energy we could power the entire country from her social media replies.

[–] Mygaffer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don't care for her but there's few ESPN employ who I do care for.

[–] Herbdontana@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It’s not like there aren’t dozens of espn analysts who aren’t unbearable. Weird for people to focus solely on her

[–] Atl-Fan_FTS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why do people keep bringing this up like what has she really done and why should anyone care

[–] Danatomatowhite@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The only issue I felt she shouldn’t have reported at the time was Adrien paynes death and the charges he had. I don’t think the charges he had were related to his death. Other then that, everything else she did was fine in terms of reporring

[–] background_action92@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sending good vibes out to Malika. She may Have some qualities that may rub some people the wrong way but all in all she's a consummate professional. I'm seeing alot of the Brie Larson situation mirroring hers, where being the object of alot of men's desire is twisted into love-hate cause she is unobtainable

[–] KarlTuckerson@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fill me in, who’s Malika Andrews and what she do to get all these haters? Besides being successful

[–] Snuggle__Monster@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

ESPN has plenty of hypocrites, she's not the only one.

[–] fellowbeenmellow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The irony in this first paragraph coming from deadspin is just straight comedy.

“There’s no such thing as a good echo chamber. Eventually, bad narratives begin bouncing around, spreading and taking root at a cellular level.”

These assholes continue to be some of the most tone deaf people completely lacking self awareness.

Is Julie Ducaro still the EIC of this sinking submarine?

[–] Insufferable-Asshat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lmao all the white people not understanding why black men are upset with her. Very on brand for Reddit

[–] deep1863fake@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Misogyny and racism

[–] RadWalk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

People don’t like her? News to me

[–] Prestigious-Rock201@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can’t stand her

[–] ClaytheKingpin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Deadspin meh, I know most of these comments will go straight to " MASSOGANY" Because it allows them not to have to think, popular sports media figures get hate, part of the game 🤷

[–] trapHerm@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’m not even black and her racism and hate towards her own people is so obvious, and she’s so entitled, fuck Malika lol

[–] dizzymidget44@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

She made her bed, she gotta sleep in it

[–] bankster24@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

She’s awful

[–] throwawayyrofl@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Completely in the dark here. Why don’t people like Malika Andrews anymore?

[–] Breadbp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Idk who this is but I like my news unbiased and this clearly isn't

[–] BigDannyBoy1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The hate boner for her has been so weird

[–] Possible-Reality4100@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I can never get mad at a woman that cute

[–] Hcdx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

People just need something to be mad at. She's not a great host, but sheesh.

[–] Alternative-Minute76@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What is people's obsession with this woman? I've seen her name written so many times, but until this post, I've legitimately never even seen her face before

[–] chummmmbucket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Who cares? She's annoying as a reporter, but I doubt she's a racist. Can we just focus on all the basketball being played

[–] ____candied_yams____@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

She's been vilified?

[–] bt8zero@alien.top 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's the weirdest shit. Mfs want us convinced that she hates us (black men) but I could honestly give a fuck less. She's done nothing Sage Steele adjacent and I don't wanna be on the side of anything that Dez Bryant clown ass is endorsing lmao.

[–] FinanciallySpiritual@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

she quick to step on the necks of black men yet real quiet when pedo Giddey

[–] bt8zero@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You really that sensitive?
