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

[QUOTE]On Sunday, Whitlock, who writes for [URL="http://outkick.com/"]OutKick.com[/URL], [URL="https://www.outkick.com/maria-taylor-doug-gottlieb-michelle-beadle-and-jemele-hill/"]published a column about Maria Taylor[/URL]. Whitlock cautioned Taylor to avoid making the career mistake of turning off sports fans by embracing victimhood. Taylor’s response to a [URL="https://larrybrownsports.com/media/espn-maria-taylor-responds-radio-host-sexist-tweet/563619"]radio host who talked about her outfit on Twitter[/URL] and another radio host who [URL="https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/espn-reporter-maria-taylor-all-nba-voting-error/563912"]questioned her All-NBA voting privileges[/URL]prompted the column.In the column about Taylor, Whitlock brought up Nolan. Whitlock [URL="https://www.outkick.com/maria-taylor-doug-gottlieb-michelle-beadle-and-jemele-hill/"]took a shot at Nolan[/URL] 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.

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.

the subliminal message of eat fresh and child pornography

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?

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.

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.

Also... everyone is retarded.

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

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.

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.

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

[I]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:

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