OT: Jason Whitlock disgrace

[Ease]

Btw: he won't be fired because fox sports loves the publicity, playing second fiddle to espn all the time means they'll take anything they can get.

Can you imagine what his 580 pound a** would say if a reporter of another race made a comment like that pertaining an african american player?

For the purposes of full disclosure, I'm a white guy but this is something I have often noticed and asked myself over the years.

He likes reaction, either one way or another. Good or bad.

FoxSports knew what they were getting when they paid him 800k per year.

800k?

Thats a lot of riiibbbbsssssssssss

Its unfortunate but if a white guy said this, he would be fired on the spot!! It's such a double standard.
Something wrong with this pic if he's pulling in 800k!

He's like PETA, any publicity is good publicity.

I understand what you're trying to say but I don't see anything unfortunate about it. For nearly the first 50 years of the last century baseball kept black players out of their major leagues and racism ran rampant not only in the sports pages, but also on the fields themselves. These were write sportswriters and white players.

While I agree that if something is wrong for one person to say it should be wrong for another, I do not think anyone is unfortunate for being born a white male in this country and I don't think anything is lost in not being able to make racist comments.

I live in KC Mo and Jason Whitlock was run out of town for runnin his mouth too much.

Now Floyd Mayweather is stickin his foot in his mouth about Lin

I stopped listening to East Coast SPN long ago...since they don't acknowledge existence of anything out here west of the Missisippi (except for the Lakers)...juvenile incidents like this only adds to my disdain for that channel.
