Saturday Night Live’s Scathing Send-Up Of Racist NFL Media Coverage

Tweet

Over the last two seasons, this current one in particular, Saturday Night Live has returned to form in its ability to provide hilarious and often biting commentary on the state of politics and pop culture in America. Something they have only recently really begun to nail though is their lampooning of American sports culture.

This was on full display Saturday night when they re-wrote the lyrics of “Ebony and Ivory” to provide searing commentary on the harsh reality of the racism that has surrounded media coverage of the NFL all season and has been particularly egregious in the weeks leading up to Super Bowl 50.
