ESPN | "We should mention, he's unemployed and he's going to jail soon."

On ESPN, I just heard them say, "We should mention, he's unemployed and he's going to jail soon.", in regards to the fan who caught the ball that the Seahawks player threw into the crowd on the game winning touchdown in overtime, from 1/18/15.

Why would ESPN mention this?  The television commentator clearly said, "We should mention, he's unemployed and he's going to jail soon."

WHY ESPN?

Of course this is rhetorical question.  This statement is meant to disempower people.  Think of how many people in this country are watching ESPN.  Now think of how many are unemployed, or have been in jail, or dealing with courts and probation.  There are a lot.  It is why small towns usually have gas stations and bail bonds, especially when they have little other economy.  These towns are often in close proximity to state prisons.  These people are listening to a "put down" comment about someone much like themselves, who got to be at a game and experience a piece of history.

In doing what ESPN has just done, it is a way to remind the masses they're weak and unworthy when it isn't true, but the message is absorbed anyhow.  At the end of the day, this constant bombardment of attacks against our worth is why so few people fight back, they're just too mentally exhausted, and feeling too disempowered and meaningless.

Then what happens?  We focus on ourselves, and tune the rest out?  Focus on the family?  Isn't this America?  What a shame, what a sham.
