Shout out to @espn for playing the Mac Jones is getting drafted before Justin Fields because of racism against black quarterbacks card three days before the draft even happens. Gotta keep the victimization narrative rolling no matter what.
Jameis Winston went number one overall after narrowly avoiding rape charges in college. Mike Vick, Jamarcus Russell, Cam, & Kyler all went number one overall too. The NFL doesn’t care about anything but football ability. Anyone who still argues otherwise is an imbecile.
The four highest paid quarterbacks in NFL history are all black. The idea the NFL is racist against black quarterbacks is a completely broken narrative that is at least two generations old now. Everyone making the argument today should be ridiculed to the high heavens.
Final point, if the NFL as a whole was actually racist against black quarterbacks, you could spot a market inefficiency & profit off other team’s racism, thereby winning more games with lower drafted/lower cost black QBs. You know, like Belichick did with white wide receivers.

Why aren’t you so damn tired of seeing black people killed by black people? That’s 93% of all black murders. You tried to dox an officer who saved an innocent black woman. Because he’s white. Pathetic. And embarrassing for you. Open invite on @outkick to talk real facts & data.
You’ll notice that woke athletes like LeBron never actually engage with facts or data. And the sports media all protect them from ever having to answer any questions about their ignorance on these issues. Sports media doesn’t speak truth to power, they ball wash.
What LeBron and his woke sports brethren either don’t realize or refuse to acknowledge is the more they demonize police the more black people are murdered. Because the vast majority of police are working hard every day to save black, white, Asian and Hispanic lives.

So @nytimes has a front page article about Monday’s NYC attack on an elderly Asian woman. The video has since gone viral. The race of the perpetrator isn’t mentioned in the entire article. (He’s black). If a white man had conducted the beating it would have led the story.
Yesterday NYC police were asking for help in locating the suspect. The article actually mentions this, BUT DOESN’T DESCRIBE THE SUSPECT. The paper actively chose not to describe the man wanted for a hate crime despite the fact that NYC police were seeking help from the public.
How does this happen? I can’t imagine a front page story with FOUR BYLINED WRITERS just forgot to mention the race of the suspect or share his identifying details as NYC police had requested. This is shameful & pathetic journalism @nytimes. It’s not the truth, it’s your agenda.

The two most liked current athletes in American sports are Tiger Woods & Patrick Mahomes. You can debate which is first and which is second. But there is not a remotely close third in the conversation right now.
Michael Jordan isn’t a current athlete, but I still think he is by far the most liked living American athlete. Just thinking about this in the wake of all the PGA players wearing red & black today for Tiger.
Lots of you will mention Tom Brady, but Brady is still very polarizing for many NFL fans. Steph is more popular than LeBron in the NBA, but with Warriors mediocrity he’s fallen off the radar. LeBron has stans, but I actually think he’s disliked by more than like him.

Big tech companies all simultaneously reaching exact same decisions when it comes to banning individuals & businesses demands antitrust action. It’s monopolistic collusion, yes, but it also destroys marketplace of ideas & is a far bigger threat to the country than any individual.
The Chinese government restricts free speech on the internet, but big tech companies in the US are now so powerful — and colluding — that they have created monopolies which dictate which online speech is allowed. It should terrify anyone who cares about the marketplace of ideas.
In other words, the first amendment jurisprudence of the United States is predicated on the government not prohibiting speech. But the Internet has created such powerful companies that their power to restrict speech is now more all encompassing than the US government’s.

The Chinese government is allowed to brag & propagandize about how it’s treating Muslim women in its concentration camps on this platform, but the president of the United States isn’t allowed to Tweet. It’s insanity.
If you’re going to censor the democratically elected president of the United States, shouldn’t communist dictatorships at least have to not brag about their concentration camps?
This is the problem, btw, with any entity attempting to implement speech standards. It’s virtually impossible to do on a content neutral basis. But if you’re going to do it, it probably makes the most sense to start with keeping communist dictatorships from spreading lies.

SEC officials just missed Kentucky’s running back’s entire body being in the end zone and marked him short. Football is officially back!
The ruling stands?! How is that possible?!
And now Auburn gets a 100 yard pick six. Kentucky got completely and totally screwed there. 14 point officiating error.
