Mina Kimes is one of the NFL analysts in the industry. She is currently an analyst at ESPN, which is considered one of, if not the top brand in sports media. Not only is she an on-air analyst, but she also hosts two podcasts.
Kimes has been with ESPN since 2014. She first joined the sports megabrand as a member of their magazine journalist team, and since then, she has worked her way up to the aforementioned podcasting gigs and the TV analyst gig as well.
However, it now seems that her job may be in a bit of jeopardy after some recent comments she made political comments at the expense of the Department of Defense when they removed and then restored a website that was a tribute to former baseball legend Jackie Robinson.
“So ESPN and others reported today that the Department of Defense amidst an ongoing effort to purge government mentions of diversity, equity and inclusion removed a website honoring Jackie Robinson’s military service. It has since been restored,” said Kimes.

“Look, Jackie Robinson was known for many things but above all, first and foremost, it was his ongoing courage in the face of racial discrimination,” she said before adding, “In fact, in addition to crossing the color barrier in baseball, he served in a segregated unit in the army and in one instance refused to move to the back of the bus, was arrested and aquited. That matters.”
She finished off by saying, “history cannot be erased, it cannot be undone and it must be recognized to fully understand and recognize his legacy,” and fans are now calling for her to be fired after the heated comments.
“ESPN is woke, that is why I stopped watching,” said one user.
“Shut down woke ESPN,” added another.
“Fire her she hates half the country,” said one fan.
“She’s the prototypical DEI hire, get rid of her,” added another user.
While fans may be calling for her head right now, there is no evidence that ESPN is considering firing the analyst.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
