ESPN continues to peddle disinformation to viewers while trying to stoke outrage and peddle the idea that America is racist.

Former Louisiana State University wide receiver Kyren Lacy killed himself in April after being arrested in January and charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle in a December accident. His lawyer last week released a video saying Lacy “was 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of impact. Key word: behind the vehicles.” Louisiana Democrats were already prepared to accuse the police of framing Lacy for the accident.

ESPN IS READY FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF RUINING FOOTBALL SEASON

ESPN was as well. After Monday Night Football, noted racebaiter Ryan Clark used ESPN’s platform to declare that Lacy was innocent and that the police led a witch hunt against him to make sure he was charged. Scott Van Pelt said the video showed that the alleged crime “is not at all what happened.” Pat McAfee also peddled the story that Lacy was facing “false allegations.” All of this was based on what Lacy’s attorney said, and a video he released alongside it.

In response, the Louisiana State Police released more video showing that Lacy did, in fact, cause the accident. The video shows that Lacy was speeding in the wrong lane of traffic, which led to a woman in that lane swerving to avoid an accident. Lacy wasn’t 72 yards behind the accident; he was 72 yards away from crashing head-on into the woman while he was driving around 70 miles per hour, giving the woman about a second to react before the two would have collided. She swerved into the other lane, resulting in the death of a 78-year-old man, while Lacy sped off.

The LSP also released body camera footage showing multiple witnesses telling the responding officer that Lacy’s green Dodge Charger was responsible for the crash. They were not coached by the police. They told the officer that as soon as he stepped out of the vehicle. Lacy was responsible for the accident.

WHO ASKED ESPN TO BECOME A POLITICAL NETWORK?

There was no skepticism whatsoever from ESPN when Lacy’s lawyer began spinning his story. The assumption was made that the police were crooked and corrupt and trying to destroy a young black man, so Clark and others ran with it without a second thought. But they were wrong, just as ESPN personalities were wrong about the Bubba Wallace noose hoax and the BYU-Duke volleyball slur hoax.

ESPN continues to disregard basic journalistic integrity while trying to lace any and every story with racial overtones to stoke outrage from its audience. ESPN got the story wrong, again, and no one at the outlet even bothered to try and get it right. ESPN is a toxic, racebaiting, destructive force in media, and it has proven that time and time again.
