Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV host of “Fearless,” and former Buccaneers quarterback Shaun King have put three high-profile quarterbacks on the operating table this year: Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, and Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts.

The prognosis from disgruntled fans isn’t good. Jackson fails to ignite a stagnant offense and is injury-prone; Lawrence has an embarrassing completion rate, especially considering his $275M contract; and Hurts plays scared in the pocket, underutilizing his star receivers downfield.

King lays bare what’s really going on with each player.

Lamar Jackson

Despite the rumors that Jackson is on a permanent decline, King says he’s likely just struggling with hesitancy after a string of injuries.

Right now, it looks like he’s “unwilling to use his athleticism, which makes me think that he’s trying to guard against further injuring whatever his ailment is,” he tells Jason.

But given the superstar’s “track record of success” — two MVP awards, two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and the best dual-threat stats in NFL history — we need to “give him the benefit of the doubt.”

“If this persists into next year, I think we can circle back around to this topic,” King concludes.

Trevor Lawrence

King is far less forgiving of the Jaguars’ quarterback.

“Has never been held accountable for his deficiencies. Incubated at Clemson. Not exposed to any of the criticism or ridicule. ... Got the big contract way too early,” he condemns, accusing Lawrence of being a coach killer.

“He’s a very frenetically wired player, and I don’t think you can play that position if you can’t be calm when it’s chaotic,” he says.

King believes that Lawrence, who he argues is over-reliant on his raw talent, has never been properly coached. “Nobody’s held him accountable for some of the fundamental flaws he has, some of the bad decisions he makes — like, really holding his feet to the fire. ... He’s never been faced with the threat of being benched for his deficiencies.”

If Lawrence gets a coach willing to “get after him,” we may yet see the QB rise to true stardom.

Jalen Hurts

“I think [Hurts] might be the most underappreciated player in the National Football League,” King says.

Unlike legends like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady — who were able to master their system under the same coaches for over a decade — Hurts has never had that kind of stability.

“Jalen Hurts has changed coordinators the last four years,” meaning he’s “[spent] every off season learning a new system as opposed to focusing on fixing some of [his] deficiencies,” King explains.

And despite this lack of continuity, he’s still one of the league’s most successful and celebrated quarterbacks.

“I don’t think he gets enough credit,” King says. “Is he a finished product? Absolutely no. I would love to see what Jalen Hurts could do from a development standpoint if Philly could finally give him continuity.”

Rookie NFL QB declared the new Obama — and the 'most powerful black man since 2009'

Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins just made huge claims about one of the NFL's newest stars.

Perkins, an NBA champion who played 14 seasons in the league, is known for making bold statements during in his role as a sports analyst. Sometimes, those statements are about ethnicity.

'You ran. You ran with the TV!'

In 2023, for example, Perkins came under fire for not only falsely claiming that the panel that votes for the NBA MVP is 80% white, but for claiming that the vote favors white players — despite less than one-fifth of MVP recipients being white.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Perkins was being completely serious when he made more race-based comments in a video he posted on Tuesday.

Describing Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, Perkins compared the 23-year-old's influence to a former president.

"Shedeur Sanders is the most powerful black man since 2009," Perkins said. "You know what happened in 2009? That's when President Obama got elected in office. He's the most powerful black man since 2009."

But Perkins did not stop there. He then claimed that most black men have visceral reactions when watching the young star perform.

"You said you were sitting there watching the game in your house, and what you did?" he asked a co-host. "You ran. You ran with the TV!"

Perkins claimed Sanders' power comes from bringing "the whole black community together" and that he has yet to hear any black person say one bad thing about him.

"He has the balance of that, 'I'm arrogant, but I'm humble, too,'" Perkins added.

Not satisfied with the standard he had set for the young Browns player, Perkins again elevated his claim, stating that not only is Sanders the most powerful black man in sports, but he is "the most powerful player in sports."

There is another president that might agree with Perkins — but it's not Obama.

President Donald Trump has been praising Sanders since April when he declared for the NFL Draft. Sanders was taken in the fifth round after going through a series of disastrous interviews.

Trump openly asked if NFL owners were "stupid" for not drafting Sanders at the time and more recently piled praise on the QB after he won his first career start.

"Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Male powerlifter disqualified after becoming 'World's Strongest Woman'

Fans and supporters of female athletes are outraged over the results of a world's strongest woman competition.

Multiple competitors are speaking out after a man allegedly took first place in the women's category at the event, with organizers saying they had no idea a man had competed against women.

'This is bulls**t.'

The 2025 Official Strongman Games took place in Arlington, Texas, over the weekend, and saw alleged transgender athlete Jammie Booker, a biological male, defeat nine female competitors. As reported by Fitness Volt, Booker took home the narrow victory after runner-up Andrea Thompson finished seventh in the final event, edging her out by just a point.

The results had Booker winning with 47 points, while Thompson had 46, and Allira-Joy Cowley came in third place with 39 points.

Viewers immediately began circulating footage from the winner's podium in which Thompson appeared to say, "This is bulls**t," before walking off the platform.

On her Instagram page, Thompson shared multiple posts that declared her the true winner of the event, with commenters seemingly in unanimous agreement.

In a video posted to Instagram, Booker thanked everyone who donated to his cause and even "checked in" regarding his mental health.

"There were a lot of, like, dark days getting here mentally and emotionally," the lifter said.

Booker called the other competitors "insanely badass women" and said it was "an honor" to share the stage with them. He added that he did not think he was going to win.

Booker's page lists "she/her" pronouns and the accolades of "pro strongwoman," "world's strongest woman 2025," and "North America's strongest woman." It also provides a link to a GoFundMe page titled "Help Jammie Become 'World's Strongest Woman.'"

Booker raised over $1,500 for registration, flight, and hotel costs, which the fundraiser said would total around $900.

On Tuesday, the strongman organization posted a statement to its social media, saying it was unaware that an athlete "who is biologically male and who now identifies as female" competed in the Women's Open category.

The organization said that had it been aware, the athlete would not have been permitted to compete in that category.

"We are clear — competitors can only compete in the category for the biological sex recorded at birth," the organization wrote.

Without declaring a new winner, the company said it had "disqualified the athlete in question" and that "athlete points and places will be altered accordingly."

Female powerlifter Morgan Irons released a video criticizing Booker for taking opportunities away from women.

"There has been an individual, Jammie Booker, who has been competing as a biological male within the women's division of strongman," Irons said.

"This individual competed in the women's division as a biological man, plain and simple. As a woman, this is very, very frustrating because their participation in the women's division has taken away prize money, podium finishes, national bids, and a pro card from biological women," she continued.

At the same time, women's sports activist and former national gymnastics champion Jennifer Sey told Fearless that women are still "being erased from their own sex-class, their own sports categories, and their own legal protections."

She said that Booker winning the title "Strongest Woman in the World" was a clear indication that there is still work to be done.

Critics pointed to a YouTube video seemingly posted by Booker in 2017, which described him as a "21-year-old" transgender person with a "history of abuse, struggling to stay true to herself while under the rule of her religious parents."

Booker did not respond to a request for comment.

Panthers transgender cheerleader gets cut from team — then blames exactly what you'd expect

The first transgender cheerleader in the NFL has been ousted from the organization over his gender identity, the dancer claimed.

While male cheerleaders recently sprung into existence in the NFL, Justine Lindsay became the first alleged transgender cheerleader in the league for the Carolina Panthers in 2022.

'Why the hell would I not wanna come back.'

At the time, the Panthers organization defended the move, saying the TopCats cheer squad members are "hired based on their qualifications and abilities."

The team told NPR, "We wish all the TopCats, including Justine Lindsay, an incredible season."

Now more than halfway through the 2025 season, Lindsay claims the reason he was let go by the organization was because he is transgender.

"I was cut because I'm trans," the cheerleader said during an Instagram live broadcast, according to Them.

"I don't wanna hear nobody saying 'She didn't wanna come back.' Why the hell would I not wanna come back to an organization that I've been a part of for three years?" Lindsay added.

Despite reportedly being "devastated" and "hurt," the cheerleader pinpointed one person within the organization who was to blame.

Lindsay fingered a new Panthers cheerleading coach as the reason for the departure, citing prior interactions with the woman.

"When she came over to our organization, I was like, 'Oh hell, here we go. Imma have to deal with the same mess that I dealt with two years prior,'" Lindsay claimed.

The 33-year-old accused the team of not "looking at the bigger picture" as far as who the cheerleader was "changing lives for."

"It was like a big slap in the face to not only me but for the youth," Lindsay added, before allegedly saying he was cut off after President Trump's re-election.

The North Carolina native confirmed in August that he had been released by the team but did not provide details surrounding the move. Instead, he provided the following statement to OutSports and insulted the president.

"For now, I’m focusing on my pageantry work and community involvement, striving to be recognized not just as an NFL cheerleader, but as someone making a positive impact, especially during these uncertain times," he said.

Lindsay called being in the NFL a "stepping stone" before adding, "Don't let a president who is delusional stop them from reaching their goals whether they are trans, African-American, not American, etc."

In 2023, Lindsay said he wanted to influence youth through his position and compared his fight to become an NFL cheerleader with becoming a doctor.

"Everything that I'm going through now, it's bigger than me," he told Elle. "I'm setting things up for the younger generation. No one is going to stop this show."

"I want to change the narrative for my trans sisters and brothers, just to [let them] know that if you have a goal, go for it," he said. "Turn that dream into a reality. Be an NFL cheerleader or a doctor or a nurse or whatever you set your mind to."

Lindsay says his exodus from the Panthers "doesn't mean I'm not still with the NFL" and claimed he still has "a lot of great connections" in the league.

"It's just a slap in the face," he complained.

Panthers ownership group Tepper Sports Entertainment did not respond to a request for comment.

WNBA star just admitted the truth about biology — and her fellow players won't be happy

A WNBA player just may have put a tired debate to rest for good.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham responded to comments made by a panel of male basketball players last week, and her willingness to agree with them might land her in hot water with gender activists.

'Men are just stronger, bigger, athletic; they just are a different build.'

On Tuesday, NBA players Michael Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball and former pro LiAngelo Ball shot down claims from WNBA star Paige Bueckers, who said she could beat NBA player Josh Hart one-on-one. The panel also denied former NBA player Pat Beverley's claim that the WNBA champions could beat an NBA team.

By Thursday, Cunningham said dozens of people had sent her the remarks looking for her reaction.

"This is my personal opinion, but if you are a professional football player, basketball player ... if you're in that elite-level group, yeah, you should be able to beat the girls," she explained. "Like, I'm not surprised by that."

The 29-year-old then delivered a blunt message to her peers: "I just don't get why it's continuing to get brought up. And like, if women are saying that, like, he couldn't beat them, yeah, he could. Any NBA star or player could beat a female in high school," she said.

Cunningham's co-host on the "Show Me Something" podcast, West Wilson, had a different approach to Porter's comments. He put forward the notion that Porter has some sort of issue with women that caused him to bring up the topic.

Wilson said Porter has been "talking about true women" for the last two years, adding that he believes the Brooklyn Nets player is "weirdly insecure about women being around him" and their "reflection of him."

The co-host was silenced when he read the contextual argument made by Porter. However, he omitted the portion of Porter's remarks in which he said he had played against Cunningham when he was in the eighth grade and easily defeated her.

"My sisters went to University of Missouri, and I was still a young dude, and they had me playing on the scout team," Porter said last week. "And they had a few WNBA players on their team, like Sophie Cunningham and a couple others. I think I was in seventh or eighth grade."

Cunningham then brought her co-host back down to earth with her next comments, admitting that a team of elite eighth-graders could indeed handle adult women on the court.

"If they're future pros," she prefaced, "... it's probably true."

Cunningham continued, stating the obviously biological differences.

"I don't want to be unrealistic or delusional, like, men are just stronger, bigger, athletic; they just are a different build. And so if you put them up against females, well, yeah, they're gonna win. Duh," she said.

Wilson asked if any WNBA players thought they could beat a group of high-school boys, and Cunningham was more than willing to put a nail in the coffin.

"Dude, there's no way. ... If you put their best high-school [players] against the best WNBA ... the male and female are just so different. I just don't think that's a fair matchup," she admitted.

Interestingly, the duo went on to discuss Cunningham's basketball history, which included discussions of playing with Porter's older sisters.

NBA players finally drop brutal truth bombs on WNBA stars: 'It should be common sense'

It seems some male basketball players are tired of having their skill levels compared to WNBA players.

After a former NBA player said the 2025 WNBA champions could beat an NBA team, a group of ballers decided to set the record straight with brutal honesty about how a matchup between the two sets of pros would play out.

'I wish this would stop being a conversation.'

NBA players Michael Porter Jr., Lonzo Ball, and former pro LiAngelo Ball brought up the comparison of NBA players versus WNBA players on a recent episode of the "Ball in the Family Podcast."

In just the second episode of the show's existence, Porter decided he would contribute to its newsworthiness by asking the panel if they had heard that WNBA star Paige Bueckers claimed she could beat an NBA player head-to-head.

"Did you see when she said that she would beat Josh Hart one-on-one?" Porter asked.

"No chance," the panel unanimously agreed, stating there was too big of a skill gap between Hart, who has averaged more than 10 points per game in his career, and a female pro.

The group then discussed what the age-appropriate matchup between a male and female basketball player would be, prompting the panel to drop brutal truths.

"Probably eighth grade," Porter theorized, revealing he had actual experience playing against female college players as a teen.

"My sisters went to University of Missouri, and I was still a young dude, and they had me playing on the scout team, and they had a few WNBA players on their team, like Sophie Cunningham and a couple others. I think I was in seventh or eighth grade," Porter continued.

He noted that he did indeed crush his female competitors at that time.

"It's just a difference. I wish this would stop being a conversation because it should be common sense. But like, it's just not," he said.

Any viewers who thought the other panel members would jump to the defense of female players at this point were sorely mistaken. Particularly Lonzo Ball pulled no punches.

"I mean this as respectfully as possible, but ninth-grade Lonzo Ball in the WNBA is going crazy," he said, speaking in third person.

Ball then brought out the measuring stick:

"In ninth grade, I was over six feet and dunking. I'm coming through the lane. No girl in the WNBA is doing that. I'm going backdoor, 'Throw it up!' I'm looking like Jordan out there," he said.

Ball is no slouch in the NBA, and his 11-points per-game career average gives him the basis to make these claims.

"I mean this so respectfully. Middle school [and] down," he added.

Earlier in the podcast, Porter outed his pro team for having reprimanded him in the past for talking about the differences between male and female players.

He explained that even within the Brooklyn Nets organization, "We've had conversations. They would appreciate if I stayed clear of certain topics, you know what I mean? That's why the WNBA thing, that's just a topic that kind of — it's so sensitive nowadays. So I try to be aware of that."

According to OutKick, Porter had previously strongly implied that if the WNBA All-Star team or the women's Team USA basketball squad played the best male high school basketball players in the country, the boys would easily beat the women.

"It's one of them things, bro. You can't dance around it. In high school, when I was in high school ... if we played the WNBA All-Star team, that, no disrespect, bro. No disrespect. I'm not even gonna say it," Porter reportedly said.

In early October, 12-year NBA veteran (now retired) Pat Beverley said in an X post that the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces could give an NBA team a run for their money on the court.

"Idk if it's the [wine] but i really believe this Aces team could beat a NBA team," Beverley wrote.

The recent podcast panel reacted strongly to that claim with multiple guests simply responding, "That's crazy."

Olympic snowboarder turned cartel cocaine kingpin wanted by FBI for ordering execution

A former Olympic snowboarder is on the FBI Most Wanted List for allegedly spearheading a multicultural trafficking organization.

Ryan James Wedding is a 44-year-old former snowboarder from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, who competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He took part in the men's Parallel Giant Slalom for Canada, finishing 24th.

However, that would seemingly be the last time Wedding dealt with literal snow before becoming an accused cocaine trafficker.

'Ryan Wedding controls one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in this world.'

According to Sporting News, Wedding's first drug charges came six years after his Olympics appearance, when he was arrested in San Diego for cocaine trafficking and later convicted for conspiracy to possess and distribute.

Now, the FBI has placed Wedding on its top 10 most-wanted list and, working with the Department of Justice and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, has charged him with overseeing the operations of a criminal enterprise, engaging in witness intimidation, and profiting off of laundered drug money.

Wedding is believed to be in Mexico, where he is currently being sheltered by cartel associates.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "Ryan Wedding controls one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in this world and works closely with the Sinaloa Cartel."

She added, "We will not rest until his name is taken off the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted List, and his narco-trafficking organization lies dismantled."

Details of Wedding's witness intimidation came from the DOJ, which said he ordered a hit on a witness in a federal narcotics case.

Wedding allegedly placed a bounty on the head of a witness for a 2024 indictment and enlisted others to locate and kill him. The witness was shot to death in a restaurant in Medellin, Colombia.

Not only is Wedding said to have ordered the assassinations of others as well, but perhaps shockingly, it was allegedly Wedding's lawyer who advised him to put out the hit on the 2024 witness.

Deepak Balwant Paradkar, a 62-year-old barrister residing in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, allegedly advised Wedding to murder the victim in order to avoid extradition to the United States from Mexico. Paradkar also improperly provided Wedding with court documents and access to members of his enterprise who had been arrested.

Wedding is charged with a multitude of crimes stemming from the 2024 indictment, including continuing criminal enterprise, assorted drug trafficking charges, and directing the murder of two members of a family from Caledon, Ontario, Canada, in November 2023.

Those killings were reportedly in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment in California. A third family member was also shot but survived the injuries.

"Ryan Wedding and his associates allegedly imported tons of cocaine each year from Colombia through Mexico and onto the streets of U.S. communities," FBI Director Kash Patel said. "His criminal activities and violent actions will not be tolerated, and this is a clear signal that the FBI will use our resources and expertise to find Ryan Wedding and bring him and his associates to justice."

The diverse cast of characters involved in the case included Edwin Basora-Hernandez, a reggaeton musician from the Dominican Republic, who provided the contact information for the aforementioned witness, which helped assassins locate him.

Gursewak Singh Bal, co-founder of the Dirty News website, allegedly took money in exchange for not posting about Wedding, and instead posting a photograph of the aforementioned witness.

A $15 million reward for information leading to Wedding's arrest or prosecution was issued by the U.S. government, with another $2 million in reward money offered for similar information on each of the assassins.

Male players take over women's hockey in Minnesota — one team has 4 men

The Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota appears to be for women in name only.

The league, which touts itself as the largest women's hockey league in the world, follows USA Hockey guidelines, which allow for the participation of men.

'Pretending it's OK for men to play in a women's league insults women's sports.'

USA Hockey allows athletes to "participate on a team that is consistent with their gender identity" in order to allegedly "help maintain a fair and safe environment."

The policy, issued in 2021, adds that "gender identity" refers to one's "internal psychological identification as a male or female, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum."

Adhering to these guidelines, the WHAM has allowed at least seven different males to play among its teams, including four on a single squad.

According to Reduxx, a team in the league's A-division called the Robins had four active male players in 2024. Kayley (Kody) Misialek, Rhea (Brady) Turner, Diana (Chris) Sulmone, and Paige (Dylan) Rainer were all listed on the team's official roster. The team finished in second place in their division last season.

🧵With the recent revelations about men in the Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM) I think it's past time I do a few threads on men playing in "women's" ice hockey.

WHAM is certainly not the only league putting female skaters at increased risk of injury and… pic.twitter.com/PiGfj6PfnA
— HeCheated.org (@hecheateddotorg) October 28, 2025

Reduxx further reported on the playing history of each of the four players, alleging that last year marked Turner's first season competing as a female; at six feet tall, he has also played on a transgender hockey team.

Misialek has reportedly been playing women's hockey since 2022, as has Sulmone.

Rainer allegedly played for a boys' high school team before transitioning to co-ed teams. He also reportedly switched to the women's league for the 2024-2025 season.

In cooperation with HeCheated.Org, the report named three more men playing in the women's hockey league under girls' names. This included one male who was alleged to run a venue that is labeled a "dyke and queer" bar.

🚨NEW: Another player for the Women’s Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM) publicly calls it quits in heartbreaking goodbye letter to hockey.

Despite a petition and player complaints, WHAM has refused to change its trans policy allowing men to participate.

*Shared with… https://t.co/LejFidnsjJ pic.twitter.com/pS0rXzi1sQ
— Liz Collin (@lizcollin) October 26, 2025

Two women have spoken out against WHAM's inclusion of male players. Kelley Grotting said in February that playing against the men "feels unsafe" and is "not fun."

"I am not a transphobe. To each his or her own, but pretending it's OK for men to play in a women's league insults women's sports and creates safety issues," she added, per Alpha News.

In October, a former college women's hockey player said she was leaving hockey forever because men are allowed in the league in which she has played for 20 years.

"I am left to believe they do not care about my safety or the sanctity of the sport," she explained. "I can no longer participate in a league that does not care about me."

In response to criticisms about the league, a petition was filed in support of men in women's athletics, started by a sports bar that exclusively shows women's sports on its screens.

The petition said that the "safe and inclusive nature" of the league was being challenged, and therefore the community must "rally behind each individual's right to sport, regardless of gender identity."

Pregnant mom and son brutally beaten outside Chicago school

On Monday afternoon, a pregnant mother was walking her 9-year-old son home from his Chicago school when a group of kids started chasing after the mother and son, calling them names and taunting them.

In video footage of the attack, the children were beating the mother and her son against a fence outside the school and dragging them to the ground before the pair were taken to the hospital.

“It’s a very sad story. Anytime you see a mother trying to protect her child and then being totally beaten by a group of children, that is one of the most unfortunate things that you could witness,” Pastor Corey Brooks tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Fearless.”

However, Brooks noticed something interesting when he looked at all the news footage surrounding the incident.

“One of the things that I’ve noticed as I looked through a bunch of video footage and I’ve looked at a lot of interviews is that there’s only one father that I’ve seen that’s been present, and that’s the father who was standing behind the sister that was beaten,” Brooks explains.

“I know that father because they’re members of my church. I know the young boy that was beaten because they’re in our after-school program. His grandmother is also a part of our church. So, I’m very familiar with that family,” he continues.

“But one of the sad things about it is that none of these other fathers of these children who beat this woman have spoken out or said anything. I’ve seen interviews with the mothers, with some of their children, but no fathers,” he adds.

And this is not just an issue in Chicago, but black families everywhere.

“I think that is a major problem that we’re faced with in our community, the lack of presence of fathers,” he says. “And anytime you get to a point to where the kids can get it, it’s a sad day.”

Ryan Clark CONVICTS Texas A&M trooper of police brutality

A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper was relieved of his game-day duties after having a run-in with South Carolina player Nyck Harbor during Saturday’s game against Texas A&M.

“This kid scores a touchdown, maybe pulls his hamstring, keeps jogging up into the tunnel. And when he and a teammate are returning, this Texas state trooper, who’s there for security purposes, I’m sure, who I’m sure is a huge Texas A&M fan, and Texas A&M’s getting the doors blown off of them,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock explains.

“They’re down 27 to 3 at this point, late in the second quarter, and he walks through in between these two players and … gets into some elbow-to-elbow contact or whatever and points at them, and the kids, they’re excited. They turn their head briefly and then keep it moving,” he continues.

“It’s a horrible look for the state trooper. I think they had every right to pull him from the game and say, ‘Hey, man, what are you doing? Go home,’” he adds.

However, that is not what happened.

Rather, the state trooper is now being used as an example of police brutality.

“What happened at the Texas A&M South Carolina football game is unacceptable. For an officer who was there to protect everyone in the stadium to walk toward those young players with that level of aggression, that level of intention, that level of purpose,” ESPN analyst Ryan Clark said on "The Pivot Podcast."

“And now, if you are these young men’s parents, this is worst-case scenario for you. This is something you’ve coached your kids through. You’ve told them how to behave. You told them what to say. You’ve told them how to look. And you’ve told them all these things just to stay alive,” he continued.

BlazeTV contributor T.J. Moe isn’t having it.

“This is what you do when there is a shortage of racism. You create your own. Obviously, when there’s a shortage of police brutality, you have to extrapolate out a police officer on national television brushing up against some players and say, ‘Just imagine what he does when he’s not on camera,’” Moe says.

“At any point in time, Ryan gets a chance to cry about a white man looking negatively towards a black man, it helps him in a lot of ways,” he adds.
