Has ESPN become too political and liberal?

I heard about the Phil Jackson dispute with Lebron James on the Doug Gottleib sow today. At first I thought that James is being ridiculous (what Gottleib thinks), based on my understanding of the meaning of posse; it just seemed a poor choice of words when he meant entourage. At most I would have faulted Jackson's vocabulary. But then I looked up the word in the urban dictionary and I see it has another meaning that arises from inner city, African American groups of young men and gangs. And I decided James isn't being overly sensitive. I'm not saying Jackson is racist. I just think he was being too cute; he's a 75 year old white man. He shouldn't be using posse in that context.

This reminds me of when Jackson called Mormonism a cult.
