Remember the ESPN used to be about sports? Those days are long gone, as the channel (owned by Disney/ABC) as gone political. One of their overpaid, overrated hacks, former scrub basketball player Jalen Rose wants to cancel “Mount Rushmore” because you know, racism and stuff.

ESPN’s Jalen Rose is challenging people to stop using the term “Mount Rushmore.”
The term is normally used when naming the four greatest in a certain category.
The term derives from Mount Rushmore National Memorial, built on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, which depicts former presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
Rose wants to cancel the term because the monument was built “on top of dead bodies” of Native Americans whose land was taken from them.
Yea, umm sorry Jalen, you can’t cancel Mount Rushmore. You might want to try on your failed NBA legacy though. You sucked as a pro after being so hyped in college.
But please do keep destroying the ESPN/Disney brand. You going down with the network is just gravy. “Fab Five” failure.
