SEC Championship College GameDay Guest Picker shows just how...

[TAF]

"WOKE" ESPN is to the MAX!

ESPN announced that Hollywood movie star Timothée Chalamet would be the guest picker for "College GameDay" this weekend in Atlanta ahead of the Texas-Georgia SEC Championship Game.

However, fans were puzzled at the selection of Chalamet, as the "Dune" star doesn’t have any clear ties to either of the schools playing.

"Nothing says SEC like a New York City Ivy Leaguer with dual citizenship in the US & France. Nailed it," one person on X wrote.

Looks like Zoolander.

The laundry list of HOFers on both sides didn’t make the cut I guess.

ummm, bet whatever he picks as he is the kwisatz haderach

 

[jackaro]

It is baffling to me that people get upset about things like this.

 

[volinbham]

I'm guessing ABC is linked to the studio releasing the Bob Dylan movie he's in

What does this have to do with being woke? He’s starring in a Disney-produced film that opens later this month.

No idea who this is but looks like the Harry Potter guy and Zack Efron had a love child.

Too bad they did not ask Maria Taylor or Matthew McConahay.

Oh…I don’t know…maybe because he has ZERO affiliation with College Football or EITHER Team participating…and his “lifestyle” doesn’t exactly fit the demographic. Kinda like putting a “creature” on your beer can. Or having Tony Randall do the Play by Play of Monday Night Football. Meanwhile having Gronk host the Tony Awards.

Ya know…STUPIDITY!

Timothee Chalamet on college gameday was on my 2024 bingo card

It's called "product placement" and he's the product.

Why does Heupel do press conferences with Coke bottles sitting in front of him? Because they paid for the placement. What the heck does Coke have to do with football and press conferences? Not a dang thing. They paid for it.

There's nothing "woke" here. It's a paid placement.

Whatever Ma’am…thanks for the “Marketing Degree” from The University of Dumbassville…

They've had freaking John Goodman, the Duck Dynasty guys...... Jeez.

Tell me you don't understand marketing without telling me you don't understand marketing.

The definition of "sheep behavior." I'll bet you saw the blurb about this kid on some conservative website and immediately knee jerked your post.

Sheep come in conservative too. Who knew? We tend to think for ourselves, well..... most of us do.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I'm not seeing how this is "woke."

I'm sure the point of it is to plug an upcoming Disney movie. Would it make you feel better if ESPN had trotted out Matthew McConaughey for the umpteenth time? If so, relax .... I'm sure ABC will show him throughout the game, and he will do yet another incoherent sideline interview.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

To be honest, it's a dumb choice for a guest picker and obviously all about pushing his newest movie. It's also dumb to get upset about something that has zero impact on your life.

The point is obviously the promotion of an upcoming Disney film release. It's a shameless plug, but how is it an example of being "woke?"

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Weird pick, but OP needs to go touch grass.

 

[sami]

He's starring in a big budget Disney film about Bob Dylan. It's called Marketing 101, and is done every day of the week. It has zero to do with being 'woke' or anything else.

Why anyone would give a rat's ass what celebrity or athlete is picking games is beyond me, but I haven't watched any of these shows for a couple of decades anyway, so whatever.

So glad to see there are so many “Defenders” & “Promoters”of cross-dressing here…

You’d think this was a Barnard College Forum for some of you “Ladies”…

here’s your boy…nothing “Woke” about him, I guess…Enjoy “Ladies”…

BTW…in case you didn’t get the Memo…DEI is DOA since November 5th!
