Mike Greenberg Says Martin Luther Coon King On Air
There’s simply no way for this combination of words to be said without previous use. White folks are slipping in their inside Black jokes with their outside voice now? Miiiiiiiike, ya got some ‘splainin’ to do.
Reminds you of another time huh?
What’s the intent?
Let’s see if ESPN suspends Mike like they did Jemele or make him apologize like they did Jemele? Wait? What’s the deal here? You notice something? Why is Jemele punished when others just haven’t been? ESPN needs to check that trash. Seriously. I guess censoring Jemele Hill is a lot more…shall I say…”convenient” because she’s a Black woman huh?
Cue Chuck: “Made the call, took the fall, broke the laws, not my fault they’re fallin’ off”
WTF!!!
What the hell………….!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course there is nothing on the “Worldwide Leader’s” webpage concerning this.
Isn’t Greenberg Jewish?

i didn’t know it was so hard to say “Martin Luther King Jr”…..I dont think he was intentionally trying to insult Dr. King, but i really cant understand why its a tongue twister to say “King” either.
Funny how Jemele’s comment was something that mentioned Hitler. The Jewish community got up in arms. Now Greenberg who is Jewish says something that he’s obviously said in the past, probably as a joke.
There has been nothing mentioned on the show this morning from what I’ve heard and nothing on the website that I’ve seen.
That’s the equivalent of me calling him Kike Greenberg instead of Mike Greenberg and then saying that I was talking too fast.
Funny how the apologists seem to be buying that excuse.
looked on espn and saw nothing too! but talking about jews are yu guys seeing what the Barack Hussein Obama administrations is doing in Haiti?
who is runnning Obama the Jews?
is that why Haiti is now Gaza west…imprisoned, starved, wounded, festering and dying…by american military invasion and occupation
I know yu guys are american and I mean no disrespect to you all! but what the hell is a Barack Obama administration?
wat really is Barack Obama?
Mike Greenberg is nothing compared to what I have been able to tell is going on in Haiti courtesy of America, which itself seems occupied and run by Israel!
hey starting five…I am not an agent of provocation. I am 65 on january 26, a college graduate with a son who Bsc/masters, business systems analyst….and a dauhgter who is a chartered accountant.
my wife, their mother, died 3 years ago to all our pain and total emotional discomfort
I was a small businessman…and am now a retired, small-time wannabe intellectual.
but I can still be angry and I have been angry for the past 3 days now about Haiti and Americs’s military response.
America has broken Haiti irreparably it seems, from Bill Clinton through to our own barry obama.
with this natural disaster and america applying a military jack-boot to whatever clear space remains in Haiti,s breathing tubes, it seems to me that that nation of blac people is done, finished.
we may be witrnessing in our time the end of a most fabulous and enduring people, the greatest the new world has throw-up so far….defeated by the collective and relentless might and unforgiving racism of europeans and their spawn in the USA, Canada and Latin America.
after all it is Lula Da Silva, so-called progressive president of Brasil, who has sent his troops to effect the American organised, UN sponsired shutdown of the Haitian ordinary folk
my intent is to provoke nothing but the develolpment of awarenes and action ofthe building kind. Martin was a great man and malcolm too… and I say after them.
I say after Hugo Chavez also, who recently excoriated the FARC in Colombia for not getting into the political process and seeking to win elections, to change the process by the involvement and development of the peoples’ ability ro participate and take over their social process and make of it what is essential for their survival, security and indefinite progress.
Chavez himself has turned the Venezuealan political process, the struggle for democracy, into a school for the development of the people, who in the process are developing into a full people capable of running their society with no need for any parasitic leading class of capitalism and/or intellect to guide them to folly and exploitation.
this is my way, what I recommend, the REVOLUTION…. but as a prodcut of the spontaneous rise of the people….or the people empowering a progressive party they have formed or otherwise have given rise to themselves, through regular elections.
I was attracted to this space because it featured an approach that included the issues of my life, sports and politics. I dont suppose you guys here know cricket?
and if you do know perhaps might have heard of or run into in your travels, a great westindian intellect by the name of CLR James…who wrote one of the greatest books on sports by the name of ‘Beyond a Boundary.’
James taught at Howard University I believe and lectured extensivley all over the USA before his death in 1989.
James is also responsible for the massive and fundamental historical work ‘The Black Jacobins: the History of Toussaint L’overture and the Haitian Revolution.’
I ran into Starting five by link from one of the the blac’ sites I am always into, perhaps Blac Commentator or Blac Agenda report, perhaps one of the Tom Joyner sites….I dont remember
I was attracted by the debate on the Hadron Collider and stayed to enjoy the sports discussions.
I also bet on sports events all the time. its fun to bet. I enjoy betting immensly.
the provincial government of Ontario is the official bookie of Canada and we can bet through that government betting shop on NFL football etc.
we were able to bet on basketball as well until the NBA stopped it.
the discussion here does not hurt my perception…can help sharpen up my bets.
and I was hoping that Starting Five would have started a post about Haiti.
the Haitian people are a great and important people. we could pay tribute to them, to haiti, at least by talking about their achievements and what these have meant in the history of the hemisphere, 205 years since Dessaline declared the independence of that nation!
Thanks for your comment mapoui. I’ll definitely (as I should) consider your request but for now the issue is bringing attention to why Greenberg hasn’t been suspended. What’s fair is fair.
of course…fair is fair! certainly!
espn does not care however. I think we allknow that.
I have seen nothing on espn about it so far
espn should look into it without prompt and come out with something clarifying all on its own.
Greenberg’s “slip” is not surprising to me anyway and I have to agree with Elder Mapoui that ESPIN doesn’t care anyway. I’ve already sent a letter of complaint to the Big Crappy about it and even if nothing happens at least I know I let my thoughts be known on this shmuck’s ignorance.
Mapoui, thanks for dropping the knowledge because like you I enjoy the lively discussions that come up on this board and the directions they can go.
Punk ass Bitch needs his Jaw Broke.
Maybe he was just trying to combine king and junior?
/s
They won’t do anything to Greenberg. Watch. Scott Van Pelt and Jemele Hill will be saying to themselves, “What the hell?”
Nothing will be handed down.
Jemele and Scott should raise holy hell. I’m not even mad at Greenberg’s statement. It’s ESPN’s response. Once again, who’ll be the one to speak up and risk job security? Jemele? Stuart? J.A.? LZ? Michael Smith? Hell, the Sports Guy? Somebody!
yu always welcome Harvey!
Jemele didn’t get suspended cause Jews were pissed off… she was suspended cause she compared a rival team fans to Nazi’s. It was those people who were pissed off- they were compared to Nazi’s. Has nothing to do with dem Jews. Which reminds me, you know Jesse Jackson has said a lot worse about Jews AND Blacks so why you black folks not callin him out?
We ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL know!
So you’re telling me the Celtics fans got Hill suspended? If that’s the case journalists nationwide would be in trouble. We both know who got Hill suspended for the use of the word Hitler – use of the word only truly bothers one demographic.
Jesse got called out on here last year. Check the archives.
I guess you feel Greenberg had a brain fart and got his words crossed??
send a msg to cnn tmz espn they have to address this publicly..Im just so suprised were are letting this guy get away with saying this in this day in age. Its funny cause i was just thinking about hill and how quick they discipline her but with him no reply. well i’m not standing for it and if you got a computer you got power so start emailing tmz cnn espn and spam them with the question of why they have not answered the people and address the issue.
dont let them sweep this under the rug make this a trending topic on twitter
lets go
