Jason Whitlock

Jason Whitlock is a longtime sports writer, TV personality, radio host, and podcaster. A graduate of and football letterman at Ball State University, Whitlock established himself as one of the country’s best and most fearless sports journalists while working at the Kansas City Star (1994-2010). His columns that dissected the intersection of sports and race won him the prestigious Scripps Howard National Journalism Award for Commentary in 2007. He’s the lone sports writer to ever win the award. In the past decade, Whitlock used his influence to establish two black media projects. He founded ESPN’s The Undefeated website and steered FOX Sports 1’s studio show “Speak For Yourself.” Whitlock’s point of view is driven by four things: 1) his Christian upbringing; 2) his football upbringing; 3) his father’s Booker T. Washington approach to life; 4) American patriotism.

Jason Whitlock Talks BLM, Kaepernick, & the Cult of Victimization

It's all about mob rule and how to defeat it as Dave welcomes former ESPN and Fox Sports Commentator and Writer Jason Whitlock onto the show. Now at Outkick.com, Jason explains what's behind Colin Kaepernick's knee problem and his uncontrollable compulsion to insult the nation on social media. Mr. Whitlock also weighs in on the destructive nature of seeing oneself as a perpetual victim in a conversation that touches on everything from Frederick Douglas' 1852 speech to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the rush of corporate executives to genuflect to the mob, and the problematic letter that 153 prominent intellectuals recently signed warning about "cancel culture." We know you'll enjoy Jason's exchange with Dave. Then, as if one fascinating conversation were not enough, Dave talks with Ricochet Member Jenna Stocker about her recent article, "Americans Are Hungry For The Fight." Jenna talks about life in Minneapolis in the wake of the riots, and why she thinks its beyond time for leaders in Congress and elsewhere to grow a spine and fight back against a dangerous radicalism. She maintains that Americans are yearning for leadership and will support it. "America and our Constitutional freedoms are worth the fight," Jenna wrote in her article. As she talks with Dave, we think you'll come to understand this former Marine Officer's passion for the nation and why she says that we need more General Pattons. Finally, if you’re listening to Dave’s show, but you’re not a Ricochet member, there is a way you can get a 30 day free trial membership . Tune in to learn more!
