Whitlock out at Fox Sports

I love being black, especially here in America. I love our narrative and journey and what it says about the strength of our descendants and the redemptive power of a constitution that guarantees freedom. Being successful and black gives me enormous confidence and contributes to my faith. I’m not bothered by the pride of white men because I relate to that feeling. I have the same pride in being a black man. ​

Right there is Jason Whitlock in a nutshell.

The rest is just him playing with words for a living and getting paid to do so. Don't like it? Go fuck yourself. lol

 

"I made a conscious decision years ago to avoid politics and shun any political identity. I’ve never voted. "

Then your political opinion doesn't matter IMHO.

"Politics just isn’t important to me."

Then don't write about it.

 

True as that is, even taking into account his new audience, he should probably still give sufficient fucks about his own writing not to reheat leftovers like this.

 

I clicked on the link and read it obviously.

Get to the section about Uber.

Within seconds my Uber app sends over an offer. That was a bit strange. I get Uber notifications rarely.

Is this how Big Online Advertising works in 2020 with strategic product placement in the story narrative?

 

This is on the site owned by Clay Trumpist, whose go-to phrase is Stick to Sports. Aside from a couple of references to LeBron and others, this hardly meets that obligation.

 

Not over his head if someone new is willing to keep paying him every 2 years.

 

I'm thinking an epidemic of extrajudicial police killings are more destructive.

 

A garbage piece.

I would like to see the analytics rather than anything Whitlock has to say at this point.

 

I think we can assume this to be pretty/mostly true.

In straitened times, almost no one is going to pay him to write the same column again and again and again, so he needs equity in the one place that might: The Clay Travis Head Lice and C19 Traveling Medicine Show. This opening column was a greatest hits medley: Dolezal / Shaun King / black-on-black violence / he was no angel / I'm not a conservative I'm just a libertarian asking questions.

He's not a TV star solo act. He's a foil. So maybe he and Travis wind up with some sort of on-camera thingamabob or podcast. But we can count on one or two of these rehashed blog posts a week in the meantime.

 

That’s immediately what I thought of.

 

It's an odd pairing given their track record - I'd think Whitlock is little more than the "Charles" (Imus reference) who nods along during Travis' pontifi-bating about race. See also the producers/girl sidekicks on Colin Cowherd's show.
