[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Thursday touted NBA stars at the ESPY awards making a “call to action" on guns, but only CBS highlighted former Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade demanding a stop to the “shoot to kill” of African Americans. Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos opened the show by announcing, “Demanding action at the ESPYs.” Reporter T.J. Holmes recapped, “What we saw last night on the biggest night in sports was four NBA superstars take the stage standing side by side and calling out their fellow athletes for not saying enough and doing enough when it comes to gun violence and race in this country.”
