Is he not still with Fox Sports? He's probably top 3 there, but the competition is heavy.

I hate how clearly I was able to hear his voice reading that tweet, despite not having listened to him in probably 15 years.

Still, it should have been Rougarou.

Ok with that context it makes a whole lot more sense. And better than the ducks.

This is mostly about Travis' coronatruthing but there's some quality Whitlock stuff in there too.

quote:

On June 27, the former ESPN and FS1 employee who owns equity in OutKick, wrote a column claiming Jaden McNeil, a student at Kansas State, was being unfairly targeted for the jokes he posted about George Floyd. From Whitlock’s perspective, that made McNeil a “martyr” who was being unfairly persecuted. Prior to firing off a “politically incorrect, insensitive” attempt at humor, Whitlock wrote, “no one had ever heard of Jaden McNeil.”

Whitlock may not have previously heard of him, but even the most bare-bones research would have revealed that McNeil was, indeed, something of a public figure. As the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights documented, McNeil associated with and promoted a slew of white nationalists and bigots, including Nick Fuentes, Faith Goldy, and Patrick Casey. He also founded a chapter of America First Students, an organization working to rebrand and smuggle white nationalism onto college campuses, according to IREHR. (McNeil has denied that either he or AFS espoused white nationalism.) The thumbnail image for OutKick’s story—which Whitlock posted—is taken from a livestream broadcast in which McNeil discusses how he met Fuentes and became a part of the openly racist ”Groyper” movement. Whitlock omitted all of this information. (As part of his response to The Daily Beast’s questions, Whitlock wrote: “Karen, I am the wrong negro for you to be f–king with.”)

It sounds like a good way to keep random chuds from making GBS threads up the comments on controversial stories. Old Deadspin had the blacks/greys system which was pretty exclusionary, too.
