Outkick Grifters Clay Travis & Jason Whitlock: Cheerleaders for U.S. Imperialism Posing as Sports Journos

from Redspin Sports · host Redspin Sports

Nate Wallace hosts Part I of a Redspin Sports series looking into unchecked right-wing sports narratives; particularly the lunacy coming out out of Outkick the Coverage's Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock at a staggering pace. This includes the relationship between President Trump's White House and his sports world influence operation; masquerading as a beacon of reason for the fan craving "apolitical" (they mean right-wing) sports coverage, amid a landscape of "overly emotional," "BLM-loving" "woke sports journos." Amazingly, the purveyors of hyper-political trash (i.e. Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock at "Outkick the Coverage") present their "Outkick" platform as a safe-haven for the sports fan who's fed up with "all this politics and sports mixing" (translation: they're really saying they're fed up with the Great Satan -aka Colin Kaepernick). The utter absurdity of this position collapses upon a minefield of contradictions. These fans (nor Travis or Whitlock) have no issue with politics and sports so long as it's the politics of American exceptionalism, or uncritical adoration of U.S. militarism -regardless of the facts they claim to pursue so objectively given their unwavering commitment to "journalistic integrity." I can go on and on, but it's all in the video so check it out!If you enjoy the content, please consider supporting our work on Patreon so we can produce more of it.
