Is there worse sports media than outkick?

I know there is an ESPN thread and all that but that shit that Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock are pandering is nothing more than political carny crap that might aswell say "hey don't like ESPN being left, look what we say!!"

It's sad and even sadder that people fall for it.

For years, people like Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock have insisted that sports media “Stick to sports,” but they don’t.

They just want people who don’t share their political views to stick to sports.

On top of this, Travis’s COVID-19 truthering is reprehensible. He’s been spreading dangerous misinformation for months now.

Clay Travis doesn't even believe what he says, he's a grifter he realized he could use peoples political thoughts to make money because he saw all the people bitching about ESPN being left leaning. So how does he top that? He hires Jason Whitlock a man who has burned bridges with basically every major sports media company out there to do what? Use all of the anti-BLM talking points and call LeBron James a biggot, it's very very obvious what they are doing, they are using the climate of the country to profit.

You’re on the money here, but I wonder if at some point the fake narratives and forced angles someone takes defines them. Clay is obviously pandering to a base he knows will get him money, but he’s done it so loudly for so long I think he might just have convinced himself to be this wrong.

But if you don’t even address that stuff, one of the worst things he’s done is actively done everything he can to downplay corona after boldly saying he’d be surprised if even 1,000 Americans died of it.

The worst part is I live in an area where the sports forums are littered with their shit and people going "look at them knocking it out of the park" "truth" etc etc, it's really f***in sad.

Clay Travis is a piece of shit. Jason Whitlock is a piece of shit. They fit well together.

Never heard of outkick. I must be doing something right.

Both of these guys will say WHATEVER gets them the most attention.
