Often controversial fat **** Jason Whitlock in trouble for comments you agree with.

[Kblaze8855]

On Sunday, Whitlock, who writes for OutKick.com (http://outkick.com/), published a column about Maria Taylor (https://www.outkick.com/maria-taylor-doug-gottlieb-michelle-beadle-and-jemele-hill/). Whitlock cautioned Taylor to avoid making the career mistake of turning off sports fans by embracing victimhood. Taylor’s response to a radio host who talked about her outfit on Twitter (https://larrybrownsports.com/media/espn-maria-taylor-responds-radio-host-sexist-tweet/563619) and another radio host who questioned her All-NBA voting privileges (https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/espn-reporter-maria-taylor-all-nba-voting-error/563912)prompted the column.In the column about Taylor, Whitlock brought up Nolan. Whitlock took a shot at Nolan (https://www.outkick.com/maria-taylor-doug-gottlieb-michelle-beadle-and-jemele-hill/) and said she benefits from her “beauty.”
“Beauty, most especially in television, has a privilege that trumps virtually all other privileges. Beauty intoxicates TV executives, bloggers and journalists, and it masks a lack of accomplishment, qualifications and skill. Beauty transformed Katie Nolan from bartender to seven-figure personality, Emmy Award-winner and the darling of aroused bloggers and TV critics willing to ignore her pedestrian humor and inability to execute live television,” Whitlock wrote about Nolan.

The actual issue though I feel this picture sums up the conflict just as well:

Ish having the demographics it does....I’m positive you side with Jason. Just thought I’d give you a place to say so.

[Kblaze8855]

By the way this is the original issue that sparked comments about Maria Taylor that got Whitlock and Nolan beefing....


This is her official all nba list she submitted as a voter:



1st team: James Harden, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic
2nd Team: Luka Doncic, Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid
3rd Team: Chris Paul, Jimmy Butler, Khris Middleton, Pascal Siakam and Bam Adebayo





She forgot Anthony Davis.

She admitted it was just a mistake and she knows he should be in there but....whatever. That’s the background.

[GimmeThat]

[Real Men Wear Green]

The question I have is what makes Whitlock more qualified? He was never a player or coach on a level anyone would care about. If you're a fan that watches games on TV a lot you most likely know something about the sport but thre isn't any special insight there. The talking heads are there to entertain and say opinions that get people riled up, which Whitlock himself has to know as he's basically there to be an object of hatred.

:roll: It's pretty funny that these are the people who vote for all the awards we argue about like All-NBA, MVP, FMVP, etc. Someone on ISH would get reamed for leaving AD out. Yet this person actually gets to vote, and somehow forgot to include AD. How do you just casually forget about the player who is arguably having the best playoffs of anyone? Lack of knowledge. This dude is probably gonna get fired for what he said about her really... is he wrong?

[Shogon]

Anyways... he’s right... beauty is a huge privilege. Who cares though? I’m happy to let hot chicks be hot and hot dudes be hot.

Know what else is a huge privilege? Intelligence.

Know what else is a huge privilege? Athleticism.

And down the line it goes.

We don’t earn any of these things. They simply are what they are. You can work to improve them and make the most of the hand you were dealt but your ceiling is your ceiling and there’s no changing that. Privilege exists because humans are unequal. That is the very nature of all forms of life period.

You can either spend your life pissed about other people’s blessings or you can shut the **** up, realize that life isn’t fair, and make the most out of the hand you were dealt by busting your ass.

[Shogon]

Also to forget AD means that not only does she not watch the NBA, she was too lazy to pull up a stats site to see the league leaders in various stats. But... I don’t care. Awards are arbitrary garbage and they always have been and always will be. Championships are team based arbitrary metrics to judge individuals also.

You can only truly judge players based on the era in which they played and even then you have to use your gut and somewhat guess because factually correct objective truth when ranking players is simply... unknowable.

The discussions themselves are fun but ultimately fruitless.

[Shogon]

Also... everyone is retarded.

[STATUTORY]

Jason Whitlock one of the few black voices in the media who spoke out against Lebron's faux woke-ness. For this he's become a pariah in the black community


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQw7lUTTSo4

[ArbitraryWater]

Eloquently destroyed her.


Shogon, the difference is that intelligence is earned/just privilege.

Beauty isn't.


Lmao. Just "forgot" about AD.

Who is this woman?

AW, people can have surgery and wear makeup and get in shape to improve their beauty. It is not really any different than intelligence.

The natural ceiling is in place for both no matter what.

Your cap is set from birth.. the only thing that can happen to you post birth are negative things that lower the ceiling. Nothing raises the ceiling post birth... it can only be lowered.

No matter how you were raised and no matter how your brain stimulated, nothing was going to result in you being Einstein or Tesla, to draw an extreme.

[Shogon]

And to be clear, I am not saying that environment and upbringing don’t impact your potential with intelligence.

They absolutely do.

If you are raised in less ideal conditions, your IQ will be lower compared to what it would otherwise be. And if you were in an ideal situation your IQ will improve compared to what it will otherwise be.

But the natural ceiling exists regardless. As I said.. even the most ideal upbringing and ideal stimulation was not going to turn you into Einstein. There is a natural cap no matter what. We don’t get to pick it. And beauty is very similar.

[MaxPlayer]

Anyways... he’s right... beauty is a huge privilege. Who cares though? I’m happy to let hot chicks be hot and hot dudes be hot.

Haha so true. For me it's to the point where the instant someone starts crying about "privilege" I simply tune them out.

Why does Maria Taylor have a vote? Real question. She is a studio host/sideline reporter in her first year covering the NBA. She works a ton, not just on the league. No reason for her to have a vote.

Here's Taylor's response:

Because I PLAYED basketball...I COVER the league. And I DESERVE everything I’ve worked hard for.

Yeah the average ISH poster prob has know bball knowledge than her.

I enjoy Jason's take... although I may not always agree with it, I find it refreshing when columnist dont all have the same opinions and pad their egos.

I remember reading Jason's pieces on the lakers in the early 2000s, he's earned his stripes.

[Whoah10115]

She likely shouldn't have a vote so early in her career. She played college basketball I think? Even so every show has multiple ex pros on and they work in the media. Does Jalen Rose have a vote? I honestly don't know but I don't think he does. I've never liked him but something to note.

Looking at her list reminds me that I was forgetting Middleton..and I think so did the official list. Shame.

If Giannis wins a couple titles soon will we get to do the "How many All-NBA teammates did he have?" game?

Jason whitlock the same fat **** that used to call Kobe a rapist and a fraud. But changed his stance when he died and said he'd remember him as a family man.

https://twitter.com/katienolan

[rawimpact]

Dear Kobe: Hey, buddy. How ya doing? My name is Jason Whitlock. I'm a 37-year-old sports fan and sports writer. We've never formally met; and, to be quite honest, I've never really liked you. I'm a Shaq guy. The Big Diesel just always seemed more real than you. I didn't like the way you treated Shaq. Yes, he could be a bit lazy, and he should've reported to camp in better shape. But Shaq is a good guy; and had you shown him the proper respect, he would've given you the respect you wanted. It hasn't been the easiest of times for Kobe Bryant. Hey, let me get to the reason I'm writing. I'm not writing to bash you. I'm writing because my opinion of you ... hold on, I'm writing because my dislike toward you has softened considerably over the past couple of months. I feel sorry for you. It seems as if the whole world has turned against you. No one in the league likes you. You've pushed your family away. Even mild-mannered Phil Jackson has taken shots at you. You need a friend, Kobe. You need a mentor. You need an older black male in your life to provide you with some guidance. I'm the spokesperson for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City. BBBS matches Little Brothers with Big Brothers. I figured I could be your Big Brother, a mentor willing to share some hard truths with you. I know that Dr. Jerry Buss has been giving you some advice. But Dr. Buss is a little ... eccentric. He isn't what you need at this time. You need some counseling from an older male who has street smarts, a head for The Game. You remind me of Stringer Bell. Do you watch "The Wire," Kobe? It's a great show on HBO. Pat Riley loves it. Stringer was the big star on "The Wire." He was a Baltimore drug dealer who was trying to get out of The Game, but greed, ambition and a lack of common sense cost him his life. Stringer did all sorts of dumb crap and crossed all the wrong people. He put himself on an island because he thought he was smarter than The Game. More on Kobe Page 2's Skip Bayless says Kobe Bryant's more talented than MJ - but not nearly as smart.Kobe, you don't want to end up like Stringer Bell. He got his cap peeled by a gay stickup man and a bean-pie salesman. Had Stringer sought the advice of an older man, he could've walked away from The Game and become a real-estate tycoon. Obviously, Kobe, you're in a different Game than Stringer Bell. But the Game you're in has stakes that are just as high, maybe even higher. You're in a Game called marriage, and you're playing it all wrong. Actually, you're just getting played. Vanessa, your young wife, has you strung all the way out. That $4 million adultery ring you bought her a year ago was a gigantic mistake. And allowing her to pick a fight for you with Karl Malone is a colossal error. Your wife has the upper hand. You know this. You got busted trickin' off. You made matters considerably worse by admitting to your wife that you tricked off. Look, I don't care what you told the police. I don't care what you told your lawyers or the prosecutors in Colorado. You should've never confessed to your wife. When it comes to extracurriculars in a marriage, it is far better to live a lie than suffer the consequences of the truth. Ask Bill Clinton, the author of "Trickin' Ain't Easy." Vanessa is going to be pushing your buttons for the rest of your married life. She's not letting it go. She can't. Karl Malone did not try to get with your wife. Your wife baited Karl into some harmless flirtation. "Whatcha huntin' Cowboy?" What was Karl supposed to say? He thinks he's jabbering with a friend so he cracks a joke. Vanessa blew this thing out of proportion because she's still angry with you. A $4-million ring doesn't take the pain or embarrassment away. The only things that will ease that pain and embarrassment are a divorce and half of your money. Kobe's the puppet right now -- and Vanessa's pulling the strings. Kobe, your wife won't stop making a fool out of you until she believes you look as foolish as she did holding your hand at the press conference when you first answered charges that you raped a hotel desk clerk. She's gonna have you chasing mystery enemies for the rest of your life. She'll send herself flowers and tell you they're from Shaq. You'll catch her with a bag of weed and she'll say The Zen Master had it shipped to her from Mexico. Don't be surprised if she starts cooing about the size of Gary Payton's glove or how cute Ray Allen is. She's probably writing letters to Suge Knight in jail. She isn't going to let you sleep at night, because she isn't sleeping herself. You're out on the road, getting checked in by a different hotel clerk every night. It doesn't matter how many times you talk to her on your cell phone. It doesn't matter how many text messages you send. You got busted, and you compounded the error by confessing. She's bitter and vindictive.

Part 1

[rawimpact]

Part 2


Kobe, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut. You talk too much. Damn, dude, when the police asked you what happened between you and a 19-year-old, you ran off at the mouth and dragged Shaq's reputation through the mud. You're making a fool out of yourself, Kobe. Tell Jim Gray: no more interviews. Quit talking to reporters. Stay off of ESPN. Kornheiser and Wilbon are great guys, but five good minutes for them are just five more bad minutes for you. And, my God, what were you thinking when you let Stephen A., John Saunders and Greg Anthony grill you on "NBA Shootaround?" I know your buddy at the L.A. Times, T.J. Simers, is one guy you feel is on your side. But he's playing you, too. Every time you open your mouth to T.J. and confirm a juicy story, you're just putting money in T.J.'s pocket and making yourself look like a buster. Kobe, there's a big difference between a man who runs his house and a man who runs around the house. How do you play basketball when you spend all day and all night running around the house to put out the fires that Vanessa starts? You owe The Mailman an apology. If your wife didn't leave the mailbox wide open, The Mailman would've never bothered her. Your friend, Jason

The question I have is what makes Whitlock more qualified? He was never a player or coach on a level anyone would care about. If you're a fan that watches games on TV a lot you most likely know something about the sport but thre isn't any special insight there. The talking heads are there to entertain and say opinions that get people riled up, which Whitlock himself has to know as he's basically there to be an object of hatred.

And he is the definition of playing the victim. I've listened to him and clay travis and they go off frequently about how people are unfair and mean to them over their politics. For some reason they are allowed to be political, but others are not.

It was an opinion piece, relax. They're only words. Kobe never gave him the attention he wanted which fueled his hate.

[Akhenaten]

Fatlock needs to stay in his lane and continue playing a game that's safe, which is being the obsequious "black friend" to white America.

Bootlicks like Fatlock ALWAYS get too comfortable and mistake patronizing for actual love or respect, they end up castigating a group that's not sanctioned by their paymasters and get their heads lopped off.

Someone as stupid as you should never talk about intelligence. I have no interest in reading Whitlock's letter to Bryant, if it in some way shows the credentials I requested demonstrating why he is more qualified to talk about basketball than anyone else feel free to post that otherwise you might as well stop posting as you are again failing to make a point.

Lol so?

I'm saying intelligence or perseverance makes your opinion meaningful, beauty doesn't.

Ok but I was just saying it's all privilege. Because it is. Life isn't fair.

And these guys and gals largely aren't on TV because of their intelligence levels. They're there to entertain us, and we watch and consume this shit because we want to be entertained.

I don't take any of their opinions seriously because they're all retards. Therefore, at the end of the day, her beauty being the primary factor as to why she gets a say doesn't matter to me because I don't care about any of their opinions anyways.

I don't even give a **** about the opinions of most NBA coaches and GMs, you think I'm going to get hung up on the opinions of Sports "reporters"?

Hahahaha!

The average ISH poster couldn’t draw up a play and not be laughed at by professionals. She played 4 years of SEC ball. She would probably make most of us look stupid talking the ins and outs. Most of ISH can’t identify an offensive concept being run. Bunch of “Lebron ball....Curry ball” know nothings trolling.

She would likely stand out as unusually informed if she tried. Shed recognize a flex offense immediately and most of ISH would have to Google it. Hard to replace actually playing and getting high level coaching even if it is women’s ball. They are less athletic but you still have to know what’s going on around you.

She would talk circles around these ring counting clowns even if she doesn’t do it on tv where it would be boring.

That's great, but that doesn't mean she actually follows the NBA.

You don't just "forget" Anthony Davis who was arguably the best defensive player in the league this year.

What that reeks of is not watching the season, voting anyways and basing said votes off of getting your stats from some stats website, and then accidentally overlooking one of the names.

[Kblaze8855]

Of course she follows the nba. She’s at games. She’s watching games with nba players. If the only nba games she saw were the ones she hosted studio shows for she would know Anthony Davis.

You don’t think I’ve ever written a list of people and forgot one?

What she did was forgot to proof read and get someone to look it over. I’d have someone read all my shit just to not embarrass myself like that.

[Shogon]

Alright whatever I don't really feel like getting into it. Like I said, none of their opinions matter anyways.

[Kblaze8855]

It’s a bad look I’m just saying....there’s no way she doesn’t know Anthony Davis. She was on an SEC basketball show when Davis was SEC player of the year. She had a really public ****up and makes women look bad...but you know she knows him. She probably personally knows him.

[MaxPlayer]

I mean, if she looked up the stats and STILL left Davis off, I feel like that would almost be more damning. The reality is, she probably just doesn't take her vote very seriously. Which would be fine, except for the fact that plenty of people DO take these votes seriously, so it shouldn't be hard to find voters who do as well.

I hope you don‘t actually believe that.

Hands in fire she has zero basketball intellect and any average forum poster knows more than her.


Why would she know anything?

Because she played ball?

I have a surprise for you in that case...

[Kblaze8855]

The average forum poster is a 25 year old who never played a game with a ref. Yes....actual players who got real coaching know more. All the talk of intellectuals and high/low IQ shit on here is a joke. There aren’t 20 people here with anything to say on a regular basis and half of those get their opinions from a formula.

Most of ISH is delusional about their basketball knowledge. We know facts more than the game.

It doesn't make women look bad.

It makes her look bad.

And it makes media members look bad.

I literally did not think about her gender until you just brought it up in this post.

Maybe Whitlock said some shit about her gender, IDK, but I didn't see that part, and I don't care.

I don't care about what she has between her legs. I care about what she has between her ears, which isn't much.

what qualifications does it take to become an NBA analyst? pretty much all you have to have is an opinion.

[FKAri]

The masses want huge men who jump really high and pretty girls in short dresses on the sidelines. Jason Whitlock taking this whole sports thing too seriously. It's pure entertainment otherwise there'd be a lot less money in it.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

ESPN TV host Katie Nolan turned her Twitter account private on Monday amid an exchange with writer Jason Whitlock"

Damn goat Whitlock put the clamps down.

Jason using his black privilege to tear down a woman with gender privilege. If Jason was a white man you all know damn straight she would be going to town on him but because he is a black man he's basically untouchable.

Maybe she just hates AD :lol

[Mauzah]

She's beautiful and loves basketball what is the problem here?

Because AD got left on the list? Bam is a slight reach but not that much either and the verdict is now out on Embiid that he is not as good as we all thought.

[light]

There are a lot of beautiful people in the world. It takes more than just that to become very successful. In entertainment everyone is beautiful so you still have to work hard and separate yourself from everyone else.

Whitlock has shown himself to be insecure and envious perhaps?

what makes him more qualified is that he's been doing this shit since the ****ing 90s and he's 100\5 right about the beauty aspect. Look mat all the moderators on all these sports debate shows, all relatively young, all attractive, they didn't get that position because of knowledge, I'm pretty sure there are 50+-year-old women who know more about sports than them but never get given a job, you know why? Cause they aren't attractive or eye candy. Also not to mention quite a bit of these women literally just sleep their way into certain positions.

I have no problem with women using their looks to get ahead, life is short use every advantage you have to make a good life for yourself but when they start to act like they got where they are because they're so "smart" and not because they're attractive, is when I start to have a problem.

Anyways... he’s right... beauty is a huge privilege. Who cares though? I’m happy to let hot chicks be hot and hot dudes be hot.

Know what else is a huge privilege? Intelligence.

Know what else is a huge privilege? Athleticism.

And down the line it goes.

We don’t earn any of these things. They simply are what they are. You can work to improve them and make the most of the hand you were dealt but your ceiling is your ceiling and there’s no changing that. Privilege exists because humans are unequal. That is the very nature of all forms of life period.

You can either spend your life pissed about other people’s blessings or you can shut the **** up, realize that life isn’t fair, and make the most out of the hand you were dealt by busting your ass.

intelligence is earned, you actually have to work on being smart, beauty is straight-up just luck of the draw or wearing a shit ton of makeup

[Rudeboy3]

Fatlock needs to stay in his lane and continue playing a game that's safe, which is being the obsequious "black friend" to white America.

Bootlicks like Fatlock ALWAYS get too comfortable and mistake patronizing for actual love or respect, they end up castigating a group that's not sanctioned by their paymasters and get their heads lopped off.

bootlicking? do you idiots even know what that means? Going against the ****ing grain isn't bootlicking you stupid ****, fatlock is the only sports analyst who is saying what is saying and is brave enough to do it.

[Rudeboy3]

The average forum poster is a 25 year old who never played a game with a ref. Yes....actual players who got real coaching know more. All the talk of intellectuals and high/low IQ shit on here is a joke. There aren’t 20 people here with anything to say on a regular basis and half of those get their opinions from a formula.

Most of ISH is delusional about their basketball knowledge. We know facts more than the game.

never knew you were such a white knight, like damn, she isn't going to **** you, stop tap dancing so hard for the cunny mane.

None of what you wrote had anything to do with understanding basketball.

Work harder.

Both nature and nurture/work impact intelligence, but nature has a far bigger impact, so long as you aren't abused and heavily neglected at an early age.

You don't know what you're talking about. You're literally typing things that are objectively false.

[Rudeboy3]

except it did, learn reading comprehension, take your own advice on working harder. My whole point is that there are a slew of women out there who have more basketball knowledge than you or me and her, especially you but someone never gets a job at ESPN or fox, you know wy? Because they're ugly and aren't eye candy, I guarantee if that chick was a fatty she wouldn't have that job.

Miss me with that bs, intelligence has more to do with nurture than nature, unless you're born retraded, there's literally no excuses for you to not be smart if you have the resources for it, especially in this digital age of easily accessible information. Very few people are born geniuses, stop coping bitch

What part of "what makes Whitlock more qualified than she is" do you not understand? If watching basketball on TV makes you an expert then who isn't an expert? Maria Taylor played in the SEC. That's not as impressive as someone with a long pro career but is far more meaningful than Whitlock getting fat on his couch talking shit about Kobe's wife.

[Lil-Shrimp]

Can't believe there are people actually defending this dumb bitch that didn't vote for AD because "she forgot"

But then again simps gonna simp and Whitlock got these simpcels mad as **** lmao:roll:

Whitlock played college ball too. At least the guy is both an athlete and long vet. He's more qualified than someone who forgets AD exist

op is an SJW, he actually believes kids are born gay. i remember him going on about his niece's friends being pansexual or some weird shit like that and he respected those kids for being lgbtq.

How is it you always remember something I said wrong? This is the post you’re talking about:



.I was riding with my mom and my(17 year old) nice who talked about a gay friend...then said she had 3 pansexual friends as well. My mom was on some serious "WTF?" shit clearly uncomfortable with it and I admit....I had to come home and google it. I figured it was gay straight or bi. I didnt know what the **** pansexual was or that we had so many kids claiming to be it.

The kids now are raised so accepting....almost all these feelings might be gone in 30 years. But my mom looked at her and was shocked. Talked about how gay kids wouldnt admit it in her day like....with pride.

My mother would NEVER sanction the stoning of anyone to be clear...but its that generation and older who came up when saying so wouldnt have been that out of line.

I had some less than liberal thoughts about my niece having a gang of gay and pan sexual and bisexual friends and wondered where all of them came from when we had at best 2 openly gay kids when I was her age...but I kept it to myself.

America is in the "Keep it to yourself" point not a "Nobody thinks anything ****ed up about gays" point.



Followed by:



It pretty much means you will **** whatever. Like....a pansexual guy might be attracted to a lesbian...or pansexual girl might want to be with a gay man. It just means you will be attracted to personality not gender or sexuality even.

What I dont get....why not just call it bi? But ive learned not to go down that path.

Im sure she would have explained it to me like im an idiot though. SHe straight up has at least 5 gay and pansexual friends...then bi friends who ARENT pansexual. I dont get it....but im not supposed to I guess. That isnt my generation.

But if its like that at Hillcrest high in South Carolina I cant imagine whats going on in more liberal areas..

Where do you see anything even close to what you’re talking about?

[CelticBaller]

Now that I do remember. I think I made the comparison to accepting the sunrise or something. That accepting it or not doesn’t change the facts.

I don’t think a straight person just decides to be gay one day. You can’t control who you’re attracted to. I’m attracted to women...I can’t just...turn that off.

it stems from mental illness. to one day decide you want to go against your own anatomy and date people from the same sex....uhh, that's not natural. https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/scust.png

that's actually not true. they're are just as many people born ugly as dumb. And you can technically work on both.

I don't like this "whitlock" guy... especially after what he said about Kobe. But he's right on this point.

Somehow this turns into some bullshit discourse with a mental reject explaining how people are born.

[CelticBaller]

He played football. Not basketball.

Maria Taylor covers football as well as she never played it. Not really a great argument there

You're born gay. The end. Chronic mastur bation on the other hand is an actual mental illness.

Kobe Bryant won his fourth NBA All-Star Game MVP on Sunday night, and he didn’t let a leading question in his postgame news conference spoil his good mood.

Bryant spoke of the energy he gained when playing alongside young stars like Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook.

Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock found the comments interesting, so he asked Bryant if he was making subtle hints toward the Lakers organization.

“Kobe,” Whitlock said, “not to twist your words or read too much into what you said, but being around young players energized you — that’s not a statement about maybe you’d like to see some young players on your team?”

The question was met with a drawn-out “Wowwwwww” from Bryant.

“You know what, that’s a Bikram Yoga stretch,” Bryant said. “You stretched the hell out of that … good job. Good job. I’m not even gonna answer that, that’s just silly. Next.”
This Whitlock guy is a piece of human garbage. Stop giving him attention, Kobe clearly didn't and that bothered the hell out of this clown.

This isn't a basketball discussion?

[CelticBaller]

This is a "qualifications" discussion. We're questioning how qualified she is to cover sports, and Whitlock said that some women on TV get their jobs due to being a pretty face. If you're allowed to pull the "he didn't play basktetball" card at Whitlock someone can easily do the same at Taylor because she covers multiple sports and was defended when an idiot was mad at her for that

You can question why she has a vote.

You can't question if she's qualified to cover. Especially as she's not an analyst.

He doubled down quite a bit on Nolan:




It was a passing observation, not the focus of my column. Nolan took offense (https://www.outkick.com/jason-whitlock-katie-nolan-exchanging-pleasantries-on-twitter/). She tweeted a response to my remark:
“You’re this close to making an actual point about the expectation of women to not only be good at their job but also beautiful, but actual points don’t pay the bills huh. Keep this same energy next time I see you though.”
Her response is weak. I should probably let it go. I’m punching down. But I can’t help it.

Nolan epitomizes everything I find fraudulent about this era of sports journalism, this era of corporate politics. Narrative has eliminated facts and any semblance of a meritocracy.
She’s cast herself as a victim when she’s the most pampered and protected person in sports media. In an industry that values live television, she can’t do live TV. She’s not the next Hannah Storm, Linda Cohn, Michelle Beadle, Robin Roberts, Sage Steele or Maria Taylor — broadcasters with the rare and valuable skill of being engaging and personable in front of a red light.
Nolan is adequate at reading the words of other writers on tape. She’s paid more than a million dollars for work that would earn virtually every other man or woman with her resume $50,000. She’s not a journalist, like Mina Kimes. She’s not informed, prepared and knowledgeable, like Doris Burke. Nolan is adept at working the grievance system.

Katie Nolan goes private on Twitter after getting destroyed by Whitlock:roll:

Just like all liberals, she can't handle the truth
