I see promos for ESPN's "30 for 30" series frequently. The only one I've ever watched is the one about the Red Sox. EVERY other show is about either some black athlete(s), or a white coach who coached black teams. Well, maybe there was a NASCAR one in there, but I just don't consider racing a real sport.
We are being told, in essence, that there were no great white athletes in the past. Why, for instance, don't they have a show about Denny McClain? Talk about drama, fall from grace, and great achievement! Or Mark "The Bird" Fydrich? Again, a story with tragedy and triumph. How about Greg Cook? The possibilities are endless, but ESPN is bound and determined to convince the public that in the past, sports were utterly dominated by blacks, much as they are now.
It's so frustrating to not only have to put up with endless glorification of today's substandard, affirmative action infested pro sports, but you can't even watch documentaries about historical sports figures now, because they've been shoved down the memory hole, except for white coaches.
