    What do you think the next great media outrage is going to be?

    Every week few weeks there is a race/gender/sexuality/etc. issue that everyone decides to get offended over for a week or two until the next one comes up. Then the media and public figures trip over themselves trying to out-outrage each other in hopes they don't get labeled a racist or bigot. My guess is that its going to be the media outrage when Michael Sam doesn't get drafted until the later rounds. If he doesn't go in the top 3 rounds the media will say the NFL is bigoted against gays. And whoever does draft him, the media will say that there are 31 bigoted teams in the NFL who passed him up probably because they are uncomfortable with gays. But I guarantee you when Sam gets drafted, even if its in the 7th round, a bunch of GMs and owners from teams behind the team that drafted him in the draft order will say "DAMN! WE WERE GOING TO TAKE HIM BUT HE GOT PICKED!" whether or not they actually planned to, to avoid media criticism.

    The biggest farce about this Sterling saga is that it's happened before...he has already been called out as racist years ago but nobody gave two fukks then..

    But now it's like the fukking world has come to an end. The league/owners should have taken care of the situation back then but did nothing...now they want to deflect it.

    The Media tries to divide the masses. They will stir the pot and split the common people as often as they can. Why? Because the Media is owned by the Corporate Fukks. The Corporate Fukks do not care about Middle America. They make their profits off the back of cheap labor. The Corporate Fukks would prefer to eliminate the Middle Class altogether. And over the last half century, they are doing a darn good job of it.

    Black vs White, Black vs Latino, White vs Latino, Democrat vs Republican...

    IT'S ALL BULLSHIIT BY DESIGN TO KEEP ALL THE PEOPLE DIVIDED.

    Fox News and MSNBC and all the fools who watch those shows and get all worked up.

    ALL A BUNCH OF FOOLS WHO HAVE FALLEN INTO THE CORPORATE FUKK TRAP.

    Media will try to draw this out to midterms and once again pin things on republicans hate blacks ( even though this guy believes in liberal causes and has donated to them & DNC )

    Mark Cuban was spot on as always about Sterling - he's an asshole and bigot for his personal views but its a slippery slope when we start ejecting ownership of companies and business empires based on personal thoughts.

    OP is right here though...we'll have another gay/race/abortion 'crisis' soon. More people dying in the streets of Chicago every weekend than Afghanistan....$6 BILLION of tax payer money missing from the State dept reported.....deadly strain of disease wiping out large sector of the meat supply driving up our every day food prices.....all of this yet one old man's candid moment captured by a gold digger is the big news.

    once this next round of storms passes after today you can bank on the news cycle to start touting more climate change warnings and calling for more taxes to stop tornadoes.

    Same as shark attacks, hurricanes and now tornadoes....when the random one hits a populated area its magnified. Horrible roll of the dice for Mississippi yesterday and today with the locations of the cells - anyone familiar with the state knows the layout of the coast - jackson/meridian and then Tupelo to memphis...everything else is just highway and fields. Yesterday nailed all the populated areas so its news.

    I've got trucks headed back from the Ms coast now from the pipeline being built there - with all the CNN/Weather crews flooding the state for coverage I'm sure they will do a connect the dots theory - there is an oil/gas pipeline being built here and suddenly tornadoes...red flag red flag.

    This once again is a predictable weather event every year.

    Warming east coast temps meet cooler Rocky mountain temps

    Just the when & where's to be determined

    I think the next major media blow up will be about little people getting mistreated.
