@rickstrom: ESPN’s Mina Kimes has once again drawn the ire of MAGA podcast bros and right-wing media. In the latest example of Trump-supporters attacking minorities, Outkick host and former Indiana basketball player and coach Dan Dakich called Kimes a “D.E.I. hire” after doing the same on NFL analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers/New York Giants/Washington safety Ryan Clark. Kimes would reply but the diversity, equity, and inclusion, as overblown as it has been, continues to be propped up by republicans.
Mina Kimes might be the most ball knowing human being alive, coming after her isn't going to end well.

100% agree! DEI has been bastardized by the right. They automatically defer to the idea that every black person or woman is a DEI HIRE insinuating they don’t meet the requisite criteria for the job! When, largely, the opposite is true!!

the thing is, we've allowed these ghouls to completely co-opt and corrupt what DEI actually means and stands for. Mina ABSOLUTELY is a DEI hire and that should be CELEBRATED. DEI die what it set out to do, hire an actually QUALIFIED individual from a demographic that historically wouldn't have even been looked at for an interview for the position. we have to reclaim that term and stop allowing them to use it as an insult.

The only thing I think of when I hear the name Dan Dakich is how fast I could find the mute button when he was commentating a CBB game on ESPN.

1) Great points - we're definitely on the same page. Huge fan of Mina Kimes as a commentator and a person. 2) I am so distracted by how taut your wired headphone cable is. It looks like you're getting fish hooked by your own ear buds.

Mina is possibly the best TV analyst going. Knows her stuff, no hot takes, funny and insightful. Having a problem with her is telling on yourself.

Anyone pretending Mina doesn’t know ball should be disregarded immediately as an idiot. Don’t like her if you want, but she clearly puts in the work and knows ball as well as anyone in the business.

Mina Kimes is brilliant and isn’t a very controversial person doesn’t really say anything wild she just knows ball I’m confused how anyone could dislike her?

Outkick is a politically motivated “sports” network obsessed with “getting politics out of sports”. Nuts.

a lot of this stuff about dei is projection. they're cool with white people getting jobs over more qualified minorities and women. using sports as example. every time a white goes with very little qualification get hired as an NFL coach. Conservatives run to defend coaching hire.

Gotta add to the Mine Kimes love. She is by far ESPN's most knowledgeable analyst football or otherwise, more personable than any other face still on their network. They're lucky to have her and these stooges are lucky to hear a real football take between all the noise
