New York Post Writer Bashes ESPN For Including 50 Cent In NFL Draft Coverage

    During this year’s National Football League draft coverage, ESPN included 50 Cent as part of its broadcast. While many paid no mind to the choice, a New York Post writer, Phil Mushnick, decried the use of the “offensive rapper.”

    “Last year, even more than the year before that and the year before that, college and pro football were overwhelmed with criminals and by criminality. Or, as TV folks call it, ‘distractions,'” wrote Mushnick. “Yet, the same men and women who report the arrests and the convictions while making ‘tsk, tsk, tsk’ have no better idea or instructions than to keep flooring it, sustaining the inescapable message that bad is good, but worse is even better.”

    Mushnick continued, complaining about ESPN’s inclusion of 50 Cent in its draft coverage. “ESPN, now the home of double-murder investigation obstructionist Ray Lewis, opened its NFL Draft show Thursday with vulgar, gay-bashing, women-trashing, assault weapon-cherishing, N-word-spouting gangsta rapper 50 Cent making threatening noises and gestures while boasting that he is one bad mother.”

    Despite Mushnick’s accusation that Fif is a homophobe, the rapper supported Frank Ocean’s apparent coming out last year.

    This isn’t Mushnick’s first run-in with Hip Hop. Last year, the columnist suggested that the Brooklyn Nets should call themselves the “New York N—-s” due to Jay-Z’s then-involvement in the organization.

    1. Phil Mushnick is an old dope who should have been fired 20 years ago for his incompetence, let alone his racial attitudes!!!

    2. THIS CLOWN IS NOT EVEN RELEVANT IN 2013. HIS MUSIC SHOULD BE BANNED CUZ IT IS WACK AND HE IS THE WORST ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG KIDS. RATHER PLAY LUPE FIASCO INSTEAD.

    3. i hope that racist fuck die very slowly and painfully. fuck phil mushnick! die you racist hatemonger!!!!

    4. this shouldnt be a problem for black people since hiphop is now dubbed white by scarface and others.. so this is just white on white crime

    5. These people are the same that made the choice of gangsta rap over consicence rap to encourage more & more bulls***t over reflexion and now that they f***ed up hip hop with it they are unhappy.

    6. The entire New York Post staff can suck dick till they cheeks explode! That’s the most racist paper in the Tri-State area. Fuck them, they families, they friends, etc. Rupert Murdoch’s mom loves to choke on dick.

    7. I only listen to rappers that are vulgar, gay-bashing, women-trashing, assault weapon-cherishing, N-word-spouting gangstas.

    8. one could make an easy argument for 50 saying he came from a terrible situation, much like many of the athletes in pro sports, and turned his life around into something positive. You could point that instead of wasting all of his money, he made some wise investments to have his money make money for him.

      1. For a minute there he was the hip hop bad boy who matched every stereotype you could throw at him. The fact he didn’t blow his money doesn’t really have anything to do with why people criticize him today.

    9. the truth is, the older white generation is seeing more and more that the influence of hip hop and black people are spreading into places they would not have been 10-20 years ago.

      all of a sudden it is in their living room and they cant take it. i watched some of the draft and 50 was mostly in promo segments before and after commercials. he didnt do anything bad, seems like hate

      1. it’s not they don’t like black people, they just don’t like black culture, black were ruling NBA since ever

      2. Very true, to most of America black people should be in a garbage can instead of being rich. And these very same people still have the nerve to say that racism in the U.S. is over.

      3. It’s mostly a negative influence, and I think now more than ever people are getting tired of ESPN (just to name one) catering to an element that they never needed before. Is it the end of the world? Hardly, but to alot of people who hate rap just because, it causes them to say things that they shouldn’t be saying. If 50’s there, it’s probably because he was paid too. That’s business, but I can still see why some take it the wrong way.

      1. Shit looks weak just like all of Ricky Ross album. And this tracklist shouldnt even be considered cause theres no Meek features. Step your fake tracklisting skills up there you dumb trolls

    11. america! wanting to stop bullying, still putting out best and worst dressed after award shows… hahah

      everything in america is backwards, kriss kross started something.

      1. Calm down Jesse Jackson. He sounds more misguided than all out racist. He has a point, but needs to think before he speaks, cause it just sounds like he’s mad about something totally unrelated to 50 making an appearance somewhere.

    12. This jus a bitter old man who is a borderline racist targetin black entertainers. We should post a pic of him an use it for target practice

    13. Phil more than likely believes that if u touch black folks, ur hands will get black & dirty. Thats the same mentality then, and the same expressed today by Phil and check out the number of people that will support what he said. Tud Nugent, Rush Limabaugh, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter are descendents and products of their family house and family tree.

      1. They come from a different background and have a different perspective on certain things. While that’s not right or wrong you act like this makes them bad people. Remember too they get paid to stir things up, much like how rappers purposely act up knowing the publicity will help them.

      1. im saying though if his shit was even half decent it would have been moderately successful. he certainly didnt ether anyones career if hes rotting in a jail sell struggling to go cardboard while the other man worth hundreds of millions, doings songs for the espn nfl draft

    14. Dude is a covert racist, working for a biased NYC media outlet, who hates ESPN, another media outlet that has one of the most racial comment sections on the internet. Another one of them who always want to tell us what we should be doing. Simple and plain.

      1. Almost every media outlet is biased. Yes, he laid it on a little strong. It shouldn’t be a big deal that 50 Cent showed up for what was probably a paying gig, but at the same time he’s entitled to his opinion much like how 50 is when he’s beefin with people and talking mad shit.
