News and commentary: progress in work
Update 6/6/20: Whitlock gave a longer interview to Outkick the Coverage in which he provided his insightful perspective on a variety of issues.
About leaving FS1: “When I was presented parameters for my return to FS1, and then I looked at other options with more upside, control and freedom, it became clear returning to FS1 would be fear-based, not opportunity-based. I reject fear.”
Set in an apparently mythical barbershop, Whitlock claimed that the NBA superstar who joined the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent made a fool of himself in something akin to a minstrel show and fake news.
He described the “inauthentic” presentation as a “profane, primitive, and privileged” look inside the fantasy world of black millionaires sipping goblets of wine in an environment which is far removed from reality.
The host of Speak for Yourself, Whitlock is one of the very few commentators in sports journalism, at least on television, who articulates a different view from the groupthink of the politically correct blue-check Twitter cohort.

That is the contention of FS1 Speak for Yourself co-host Jason Whitlock, who described it on the broadcast as a purely political move unrelated to basketball and more for the “media and the money,” suggesting that he has pivoted away from trying to equal or surpass Michael Jordan’s championship legacy.

As it stands now, and barring injuries, there is no chance that the Lakers can compete with the defending champion Golden State Warriors for the NBA title.
Since Tinseltown is “ground zero for the social justice and race warriors,” left-wing Hollywood executives will become LBJ’s puppet masters as they try to position him as a liberal superhero, Whitlock added.
