“You’re Too Old & We Want a Blond”
Fox Sports sideline reporter, Pam Oliver, has gone public saying she was fired because she wasn’t young blond and hot.
Here’s what 53 year old Pam Oliver had to say:
“The business is very demographic-oriented. As one executive said to me, Fox Sports will look radically different in the coming years. I assume that means they want to look younger. It’s not difficult to notice that the new on-air people there are all young, blond and hot.”
Isn’t her replacement(Erin Andrews) the same age as She? If not she sure does look like it! I don’t watch Fox and will definitely encourage people to boycott Fox Sports! Fox Network has ALWAYS carried Racial OVertones!
Erin Andrews is 36…
ROTFL. Pam Oliver looks a lot younger than 53. Ageism is alive and well, as is racism. The sad fact is, the main people who were chastising Ms. Oliver are Black. So she wears a weave?!. Big deal. A lot of women of all races wear hear extensions, wigs and falls. I can understand if she was slacking on her job, but from what I saw of her, Ms. Oliver did a great job.
I don’t think too many people respect Erin Andrews, so I’m kinda hoping she falls flat as Oliver’s “replacement.”
SORRY BUT SIS WAS LOOKING ALOT LIKE CHEWBACCA ON THE IRON GRIT !
@Glok9; OMG. Please tell me u didn’ t say “chewbacca on the iron grit”.
LOL the rest of the day
LOL,..SHE DONT LOOK A LIL RUFF AROUND THE EDGES? LAWD AND DEM TEEFUS!
I know there is a whitewash going on, but I have seen black women on ESPN, don’t know there names, but the black lady on w/Steven A. Smith and that other man, and I saw another black lady the other day. I hate that hair is always a big deal, but anytime u r a news anchor for sports or whatever and people start complaining, they will get rid of u, especially if u black and last year, there was a bunch of talk about her looks, Pam is not bad looking, she could have changed her hair and spruced up a bit, I even watched football one Sunday and wondered was she going thru something, to come on tv, in front of millions of people looking rough. but anyway she had a long career, thanks to Jayne Kennedy, one of the first black sportscasters.
I wonder how folks would feel if they learned Erin Andrews is wearing a weave?!. It is pretty obvious in that above-photo.
can we please hit fox where it hurts and STOP tuning in to ALL NFL games on their network… come on guys lets do it….
Yeah right! That is not going to happen.
Thank YOU!!! I just said that in an earlier post.
NOTHING HURT THEM MORE THEN TO jSTOP!! FUCKING WITH THEM,, HIT THAT POCKET!! BLACK SPEND BILLION DOLLARS IN THE ECONOMY!! YEARLY!! TAKE THAT OUT OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY!! & WATCH WTF HAPPENS..!!!!
There’s supposed to be a Black Out this Monday. No gas should be purchased. Black people are being asked not to patronize businesses that are not Black owned and operated. I really hope it succeeds and there are more planned Black Outs in the future. Since folks don’t want to respect us as a people, we need to keep our hard earned dollars to ourselves!
I dont get it she still looks good for her age. I hope she gets hired somewhere else and gets more money. She should sue on age discrimination and race.
I don’t pity for any sista that into any white majority corporation, cause you already know what to expect. Think outside the box we are better treated outside the country.
Whether you want to believe it or not black women do have better experiences outside the USA than in. Sistas travel more !!!!
Black:
You are telling the truth. I have a cousin and aunt (daughter and mother) who want me to travel abroad SO bad. They know I’d love it. My cousin has asked me to travel with her on multiple occasions, once to London. I am not a traveler, but every BW I know who has traveled or lived abroad to work has loved it. It is my understanding that BW are a hot commodity in Italy.
BLACK FOLKS R LOVED OVERSEAS, AND ESPECIALLY SOUTH AMERICA.
Those Folks revere us, cause they KNOW WE r THEIR ANCESTORS.
We R treated like second or third class Citizens in the Country we Built from the ground up, but R treated Like Kings and Queens abroad.
Real Talk from experience.
Yes!!! And since I know this, I SHOULD travel. I don’t because I am too content with the conveniences I have at home and in my city. But I thank you for that bit of info/advice. Have luggage, should travel! Hopefully, I will.
PAM THE REASON I DONT FEEL SORRY FOR YOU IS BECAUSE YOU, LIKE SO MANY OF US BLK WOMEN WANT TO PLAY ON THE JBOY & WHITE BOY FEILD OF DREAMS!! YOU FORGOT THAT BEING BLACK & BRILLIANT WAS ENOUGH!! THE MOMENT YOU SIGN THAT CONTRACT ! YOU KNEW THE GAME & IF YOU DIDNT …..SHAME ON YOU!! THOSE NASTY ASS BASTARDS DIDNT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR CREDENTIALS!! ONCE THEY SAW A LONG LEG, FAKE ASS BLOND IN WHITE GIRL SHAPE!!!! WHO LOOKs LIKE SHE IS THE OLDER ONE!! IT WAS OVER!! YOU HEARD THE WHISPERS!! & THEN THE SCREAMS ! FROM US SISTER SAYING STEPPED YOUR GAME UP!! WIGS WERE A MESS!! CUT A AWESOME NATURAL!! OR CALL IN THE BEST HAIR TECHNICIAN FOR SUNDAYS SHOW!! IHAD NO IDEA YOU WERE FITY THREE!! YOU LOOKED A DECADE OR MORE LESS!!! …YOU KNOW TV …HI DEF PUTS POUNDS ON, 18LBS OR MORE … BUT YOU GOT COMFORTABLE!! STUCK IN YOUR WAY OF DOING YOU!! YOUR POSITION WAS A # ONE SPOT!! & ITS ALWAYS SOMEONE AFTER THAT POSITION!!! THIS IS NOT ABOUT FOX! (FUCK FOX)! ITS ABOUT BLK WOMEN UNDERSTANDING… THAT WHEN WE WALK ON THERE PLAYING FEILD IN WHATEVER WE ARE PURSUING CAREEr WISE …IN FRONT OF THE CAMARA WE MUST NOT ONLY BE BRILLIANT!! BUT AS POLISHED AS POSSIBLE!! ..
I must agree. You have to look exceptional, and I am sorry she didn’t.
If you are reppin’ money, you gotta look like money.
If you reppin’ sports, you gotta have that hooka thang goin’ on.
If you reppin’ politics, you gotta look serious, etc., etc.
I don’t think she got comfortable, I just think she believed the BS about woman’s lib and girl power. BS meaning, the world is a different place.
the wig makes her looks like a got damn drag queen black women stop this shyt!!
stop competing with them wrinkly and dried up barbie their use botox and fillers on a weekly basic haven’t you watched
“desperate house wives” all of them white women spend a fortune to have good skim but they can’t. and these black sellout coons who marry white women
have to fork out on botox and fillers on their wrinkly sagging white wives
Television reporting is a young girl business. Pam Oliver should be thankful she worked in the business for twenty years; Her time is up. Personally, I don’t want to see a fifty year old woman doing sideline reports. It’s time to promote former Jet beauty of the week Cari Champion.
P.S. I wonder if Pam Oliver or any of these black female sports reporters know who Jayne Kennedy is?
@Nba is fixed; In the words of @Glok9 SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
Come on, you know she know who Jayne Kennedy is. And if she don’t then she should have never been a reporter. But Jayne Kennedy would still be on the side line if it wasn’t for that non acting motherf*cker, Leon Issac Kennedy leaking the infamous sec tape. But he did it to try to jump start his acting career again. But there was no hope cause that shit was a total loss, hit by a locamotive doing 300 miles per hour…absolutely no hope.
History lesson right here. Leon was a lowdown POS who was insanely jealous of Jayne.
And, of course, he is a minister
Imagine that shit. It’s Always the people who have lived the most foul lives that end up pulpit pimpin or living in the church house praising and worshiping, not the most high, but the pulpit pimp. I will tell you why, because birds of a feather flock together.
Eddie, you ain’t neva lied. People gotta pick their preachers more carefully.
word that Cari Champion is so f*cking fine….damn
Lest we forget, Sports Leagues were forced to integrate. Anti-Blackness has always been a problem. Whitemen had it on lock for decades, brothas pushed them out the way… Context! This is bad business on all sides. The fans in the seats are white and male, but that does not matter. Without blackwomen, tbere is no NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. Erin Andrews and her white sisters don’t provide the talent which allows her to live a comfy life. As the saying goes, “Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds You.” Nothing last forever, whites assume that Sistas will continue to supply them with dark meat on a continual basis just because some wanna escape the projects. This is bigger than Pam Oliver, Much Bigger! I barely watch Fox Sports and ESPN anymore. Played a lot of football growing up. Today, does not matter all that much. I watch some Canes and Dolphins games here and there. My patience for the bs is very low. When you know the truth about someone, You can never see them in the same way again. Pam knows her stuff, heavy in the game…Deserve Better Than This! This insanity cannot win… Hell No! I wish her the best!!!
The black female sports broadcaster with the most promise is ESPN’s Sage Steele. The athletes love and respect her, and she’s smart as a tack. She comes from a great family and has a husband a kids of her own. Look for her to supersede Erin A. and Michelle Beadle in the upcoming year. Players and savvy fans hate Erin. They see her as just a great body with a decent face who can read a TelePrompTer.
Honestly, in the news and entertainment news field you are over at 45 no matter how good you are. Pam had a good career, but she is just not “Q rating” positive now. This isn’t racism- if anything it is agism.
Only promise that sellout coon Sage Steele has is that she’ll continue to polish her Yt husbands balls.
I decided not to watch football at all this season because I refuse to support the hypocrisy of the NFL. But Pam has been on the sidelines for like 20 years, she knows how the business works. No one complained when pretty, young Pam replaced whomever she replaced in ’93, that’s just the way the game goes.
Erin has been screwing anyone she can to get ahead and now she has what she wants until the next hot chick comes along. Her mouth and lady parts worked hard to get that position let her enjoy it for a couple of years.
I’m more upset Pam was so content with just standing on the sidelines for so many years. She should have been more aggressive in looking to better her position. No one is ever going to give us anything, we need to take what we want.
Tommy you must be angry for all the times you’ve been called ugly inside and out !!! Anyhoo, i want to thank you for making it easier for many good black women who’s worth being with, date openly looking at love not from a racial perspective but from a spiritual one. You have an ugly dark spirit that’s demonic, your gossiping tongue is gonna land you in hell if you don’t change. God didn’t appoint you as a buckler for any black woman that is what God spirit is for. Oh and for the record how you’re gonna talk about ugliness when your spirit is no better and i notice how you don’t go in on brothers like you do with sisters cause you don’t want your ass handed to you.
Tommy don’t go in on brothas, cuz he a fag!
Any man that gotta always get on women or start up a fight with a woman is a fag!
Tommy is as heterosexual as it gets. Just because he dislikes dark skin, weave wearing women does not make him gay. It demeans you to call him something he’s not just because you don’t like him. So what he doesn’t like dark sistas? They aren’t checkin for his ass either. He is entitled to his own viewpoint. If Soncerae and all the haters really want to get at him, they need to acquire the number of followers and fans he has and go against him in numbers. But that isn’t happening is it?
I love Tommy because he is speaking the truth unlike the rented ni**as on cable TV news. He is extremely pro-black and he never coons or sugarcoats anything. If it weren’t for his hatred of hair hatted hooligans, he would be a Black icon. It just shows you what a really bad mother can do to a boy. Mommas of the world: beware. And I do not find Tommy ugly. Quite the contrary. I think he’s attractive and his humor and brains amps up the attractiveness 10 fold. I LIKE dark skin men-the darker the better and the darker the smarter.
He is a closet gay. No man goes in on women like that unless he has a deep hatred of them.
you’re a sick lil boy tommy. if no sistas are checking for you, it is because your momma and DADDY f&cked you up.
Any black person whose entire platform I to promote the stereotyping of black people is a ni**a, as you stated above.
Tommy wouldn’t even have a show in Panama. But that is a whole other story.
She was suffering from the delusion of inclusion
LOL, delusion of inclusion!
Pam you had a very long run honey so what are you complaining about?Twitter gave you a heads up months ago about you’re image months ago and you failed to make the adjustment.These corporations which is all America is in general are about Supply In Demand and once the public starts rambling about certain dislikes and it threatens business heads will start to roll.When will we Black Americans learn that we are only hired to meet quota and just to make these corporations owed by these Edomites to look less racist.If we are naive enough to see it as anything more than Welcome To The Blvd.Of Broken Dreams!
Truth, Truth and Nothing But the Truth!
Thank you
Owned typo
So are you saying none of us are talented, smart or qualified enough to be hired by corporations? How demeaning and small minded of you. You aren’t any better than them….Whose side are you really on anyway BA?
Not at all honey,perhaps you should reread my post because we are the Hebrews and according to Duet 7:6 We are above all people and its proven in sports and all other facets of the world.I’m not saying we’re less but what I’m truly saying is we should start owning our own Fox News Sports outlets and then we’ll never have to concern ourselves with being publicly humiliated like Pam nor would we have to go begging to the YtMan for a job to be feed crumbs.We’d be our own bosses giving us the power to Hire and Fire.Comprende!!! Shalom.
Never got the hype over Erin. She must either blow a mean pipe or give a mean twist inside them sugar walls. Also, I’m sorry but Pam always yelled “lesbonic” to me. Not to mention, that wig always looked it was ready for a round of TUG O’ WAR. FOX is the absolute DEVIL.
LOL Yup. Pam stayed around for 20 plus years but Erin is already showing signs of age, she won’t be around for long.
Fox couldnt afford stylist for Pam? As far as looks go……I think Pam is far better looking but she should have ditched that dreadful wig.
I also want to add when male sports casters get old and need toupe’s its fine….no one threatens them but a female must always keep her sexy status no matter what….double standards!
