Is the NHL’s first female coach a sign of progress or imminent disaster?



On October 8, Jessica Campbell coached her first game as an assistant coach for the Seattle Kraken. Campbell is the first female coach in the NHL.

According to reports, when asked about his decision to hire Campbell, head coach Dan Bylsma claimed that he was simply hiring the best coach, and Campbell fit the bill.

Her list of accolades is long and impressive. Campbell played college hockey at Cornell University, won numerous medals playing on Canada’s national team, and even played professionally in Canada and Sweden.

Is this a situation in which a woman really is the best-qualified candidate? Or is this simply the woke agenda disguised as meritocracy?

Jason Whitlock and Steve Kim discuss the unique situation.

“I just can’t see this not ending poorly,” says Jason, pointing to the reality that Campbell is 32, attractive, and surrounded by male athletes in the same age range.

“I would hate to be the HR department for Seattle,” he tells Steve.

Steve, however, thinks that a bigger problem is the fact that a female will have authority over men.

“At the highest levels of professional sports, there is no man that wants to be coached by any woman,” regardless of what they’ve been conditioned to say, he tells Jason.

“If you're going to be screamed at, if you're going to have a finger pointed in your direction, if you're going to be disciplined at that level of athletics, men want to be disciplined by other men,” he claims.

But Jason sees an even bigger issue.

Granted the amount of money the NHL players make, he thinks they will be motivated to “hop on board” with inviting women into the league. However, in private they will be resentful because “this isn't really about competition,” and they’re being forced to be “part of some social experiment.”

According to Jason, behind the scenes, the players will be thinking, ‘“They've got this 32-year-old hot blonde coaching me; this is a television show, it's not a competition.”’

“I think it harms the integrity of the game, and it makes the players more cynical about the actual sport they're competing in,” he explains.

Steve then points out that men’s hockey is still “largely a white sport with a lot of guys from different parts of the world where none of this DEI stuff is actually going on.”

“I actually wonder how these guys are going to take to quote-unquote female leadership,” he says.

“The DEI stuff is global,” Jason counters, “but as it relates to the athletes inside their homes ... you're right, this is not the construct that they grew up with.”

“I do think most of these white athletes ... are from a two-parent household structure that probably is more patriarchal than matriarchal,” he adds, noting that this will only serve to “enhance the cynicism” of the athletes forced to submit to Campbell’s authority.

Going back to the reality that Campbell is young and attractive, Jason is sure it’s not going to end well.

“It's like whatever woman is there during training camp, let's say if in real life she's a six, during training camp she's an eight and a half, damn near a nine,” he says, drawing on his own experience playing football at Ball State.

“The female trainers turned into the most attractive people on planet Earth,” he recalls, adding that Campbell “will be under attack in that environment.”

Is Aaron Rodgers' flop in New York due to age or injury? Jason Whitlock says NEITHER



Last NFL season, Jets fans rejoiced when celebrated quarterback Aaron Rodgers left Wisconsin for New York, but three snaps into the first game, Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon and was out for the rest of the year.

But now, a healed Rodgers is ready to take on the 2024 season — except it doesn’t appear that he is actually ready.

“The Jets can't score; Aaron Rodgers looks like a shell of himself; he's throwing interceptions; he cost the Jets the game [last Sunday],” says Jason Whitlock.

What’s going on? Is Rodgers’ age finally catching up to him? He is the oldest player in the NFL after all. Or was his Achilles injury a career-ender?

Jason says it’s something else entirely that’s causing Aaron Rodgers to backslide.

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

“Football and the quarterback position cannot be your side hustle, and that's what Aaron Rodgers has done to his football career,” says Jason. “The man spent the off season thinking about running for vice president with RFK; he spent the off season in Egypt rather than attending a mandatory OTA [Organized Team Activities].”

“He’s taken the game for granted, and this will not be a replay of the 2015 Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers,” he assures.

However, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets aren’t the only 2024 flops, according to Jason.

Sue Bird’s rant about long-standing racism in WNBA highlights the league’s REAL problem



Caitlin Clark, despite being for the most part apolitical, has been a lightning rod for controversy. As the most adored female player to have ever graced the basketball court, Clark’s fanbase is huge — and they’re vocal.

When a rivalry between Clark, who at the time played for the University of Iowa, and LSU’s Angel Reese sparked in 2023, many of Clark’s fans were accused of hurling racial insults at Clark’s competitors.

According to mainstream outlets, Clark’s fans and their racism have followed the athlete into the WNBA, creating a hostile environment for many of the athletes.

Former WNBA player Sue Bird, the partner of radical leftist retired professional soccer player Megan Rapinoe, recently spoke on this subject.

In her podcast “A Touch More,” the former athlete told Rapinoe that “racism has been impacting the WNBA well before this year,” meaning Clark’s fans are merely exacerbating a pre-existing problem.

“I do think Caitlin is being used as a pawn. Caitlin didn’t bring racism to the WNBA,” said Bird, who went on a long rant about how she never could just focus on being a basketball player because she was forced to be a social justice warrior.

“We're still not allowed to be focused on our basketball play,” Bird lamented.

However, where Bird sees social justice issues, Jason Whitlock sees a pathetic cry for attention.

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

“You couldn't get any traction based on your basketball, and so you decided, ‘Hey, we got to talk about racism and sexism to draw attention; we have to kneel during the national anthem to draw attention,”’ he says, comparing the WNBA’s social justice activism to “a kid who can’t get attention from their parents.”

And now that Caitlin Clark has entered the chat, people are finally able to focus on basketball because she’s brought the right kind of attention to the league.

“Someone showed up here who plays good enough basketball to draw attention and now people are actually evaluating [women’s] basketball,” says Jason.

According to him, before Clark, the WNBA fandom was lacking because it had “too many women tatted up and looking like men.”

“People don’t want to see that,” he says.

Then, “Caitlin Clark shows up with her ponytail and no tattoos and plays a brand of basketball that's exciting and fun to watch and voila — a crowd shows up,” Jason explains.

Meet the four titans spearheading the 'cis rights movement' that just might 'save America'



Some of the biggest names in the sports industry are leading a movement to protect female athletes against men competing in women’s sports, and yet the story is getting a shocking lack of coverage.

While he’s appalled that this revolution isn’t making headlines, Jason Whitlock is thrilled that the movement is gaining momentum anyway.

“[Riley Gaines] is the leader of the cis rights movement. She is the Rosa Parks, the first woman to take a major stand,” he says.

As for Caitlin Clark, Jason says, she “isn’t outspoken” but is nonetheless “unintentionally being a leader.”

“Caitlin Clark has stood her ground, taken the blow, the arrows, the smearing of her and her fan base” in a league that is “hostile ... to cisgender women.”

“She's dealt with all the racist comments from Sheryl Swoopes ... she hasn’t bowed to A’ja Wilson and all the people that [say], ‘Admit your white privilege,”’ says Jason, adding, “I don't know where Caitlin Clark stands ... but I know what she represents.”

“Caitlin Clark is the Jackie Robinson of the cis rights movement,” he says.

According to Jason, the other two women spearheading the movement are Sage Steele and Samantha Ponder.

“Sage Steele and Samantha Ponder [are] two titans of the media, two heavyweights at ESPN. They sacrificed their jobs and their careers to stand up for women,” Jason praises, adding that these two women were let go “because they wouldn't bow to the LGBTQIA+ transgender insanity.”

“Sage Steele, Samantha Ponder — they're John Carlos and Tommie Smith,” he adds, referencing two Olympic athletes who competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics and used their platforms to stand against racism.

While the cis rights movement is geared toward preventing biological men from competing in women’s athletic divisions, Jason says, “It is so much bigger than sports.”

“I do think that this is the movement that could save America,” he says.

Resurfaced footage of WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson talking about white privilege goes VIRAL — 'It was a message being sent to Caitlin Clark'



WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson is going viral but not for anything she did on the court. The Aces center is currently under fire for a resurfaced clip from a year ago that’s already garnered over 20 million views on X.

Jason Whitlock and Steve Kim discuss the damning footage.

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

In the video, Wilson, who’s courtside, tells teammate Kelsey Plum the following:

“Us, as black women, Paige [Bueckers] reminds me a lot of you. Like you say, ‘It’s not really about me.’ She knows. And she knows how her privilege has gotten her to that point,” Wilson told Plum.

“And also, like, she’s good at basketball, obviously. Like, she understands her privilege. It’s, like, what pushes her over the top in a sense. It reminds me a lot of you, and I mean that as a compliment,” Wilson continued, “praising” Plum.

Steve translates Wilson’s comments: “Hey white girl. You know what, you cracker a** cracker, you have a lot of white guilt, and I approve.”

“This is the problem that a lot of people have with Caitlin Clark fans and supporters — they don't buy into [the white privilege narrative],” he explains, adding that “one of the more interesting aspects of this fan-hood is that some of the biggest supporters of Caitlin Clark are not whites; they're actually black males.”

“Many of these people, like A’ja, are so used to being able to dispense and force white guilt upon others that when people don't comply, then it becomes something they can't even handle,” Steve continues. “This [WNBA] playoff ratings dip post Caitlin Clark is the sports version of white flight and gentrification.”

Jason agrees, calling Steve’s comparison “a good analogy.”

Wilson’s comment “was a message being sent to Caitlin Clark,” he says, adding that it’s also “a message to Nike.”

“A’ja Wilson has a signature shoe and logo with Nike. No one's going to buy her shoe; no one cares, but Nike is bending over backwards trying to please A’ja Wilson and Dawn Staley and the whole BLM crowd by” acting like they have “to promote A’ja first.”

“So there's a mindset that A’ja has to adopt to justify getting treatment she knows she doesn't deserve,” says Jason, comparing Wilson to retired NBA player Tim Duncan, who he says was a great player but not one who sold shoes.

“She has to adopt this mindset of ‘I'm owed this, and you white girls need to back your a** up while I get what's owed to me,” he explains, calling it “endless reparations.”

Steve says the marketing of A’ja Wilson’s shoe is basically just suppressing Caitlin Clark’s up-and-coming shoe.

“They are marketing A’ja Wilson by suppressing anything having to do with the most popular player in the league by far,” he says, joking that Clark’s shoe needs to be named “Air Suppression.”

The ONLY reason Deion’s Colorado beat Baylor last Saturday



Since Deion Sanders took over the head coaching position for the Buffaloes football program at the University of Colorado Boulder, Jason Whitlock has been unapologetically critical of the toxic culture that’s ensued as a result of Sanders’ ineffective leadership.

Now that football season is back in full swing, Jason is ready to analyze the coach’s every move, starting with the team's lucky overtime victory against the Baylor Bears last Saturday.

“They know they should have lost,” he says, adding that the win is nothing to be proud of since “Baylor’s not any good.”

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

According to Jason, the only reason the Buffaloes won is because “the other coach handed [them] the game with one of the worst defensive calls in the history of football.”

“You leave three guys one-on-one on the final play of the game?! It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen,” he says.

As for the Buffaloes, Jason says their performance is “exactly what we saw last year.”

“Do you remember when they beat Colorado State to get to their 3 and 0 start? They got lucky! ... It’s the exact same thing all over again,” he says pointing to the team’s unfortunate predicament — they “have no right tackle,” “their guards are just OK,” and “their freshman holding tackle ... the all-American five-star kid that they thought would fix everything” is floundering.

That’s not to say that the Buffaloes did nothing right, however. Jason does give some credit where it’s due.

“Hats off to them for diversifying their offense,” he says. “They did switch up some formation stuff and gave [quarterback Shedeur Sanders] some different looks.”

“But at the end of the day, this was about an idiot head coach at Baylor lining up in the wrong defense,” he says.

To make matters worse for Baylor, apparently the head coach, Dave Aranda, threw "a kid on the team way under the bus rather than taking responsibility for calling the wrong defense.”

“It's one of the worst coaching performances in game and after game that I've ever seen,” says Jason.

And as for Deion, he’s still “a clown” in Jason’s eyes.

“His team hasn't really improved. I don't see him winning more than five or six games this year,” he sighs.

Besides the fact that Sanders is still the coach, another reason Jason doesn’t see the team improving this season has to do with the other main leader on the team — Sanders’ son and the quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Last week, “People called out Shedeur for not shaking the hand of the Colorado State quarterback after the game,” and, unfortunately, Deion defended the behavior. “The week before, he walked off the field with two minutes on the clock.”

“Shedeur is a reflection of Deion. Deion has no class so his son has no class,” says Jason.

“The foundational pieces aren't in place for Colorado to build something sustainable.”

Jason Whitlock says his opinion about Angel Reese making Sports Illustrated’s 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports list is 'DANGEROUS'



Despite being in the WNBA for less than one season, Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese made Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports and was even featured on the cover of the magazine.

Jason Whitlock is appalled.

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

“Are you kidding me — a woman that rebounds and shows up half naked to games?!” he says, exasperated, adding that he can’t believe that so many people on the list either play for or are affiliated with the WNBA.

“A league that didn't matter three months ago now has eight of the most influential people,” he sighs.

According to Steve Kim, “All of this has to do with Caitlin Clark.”

“The fact that you have Angel Reese on that cover is a direct result [of] two things” he says, the first being the reality that the magazine “can’t put the white girl on the cover.”

Instead, the magazine chose to “virtue signal and appease everybody by putting [Clark’s] main perceived rival,” Angel Reese, on the cover.

Second, of all of the other WNBA athletes, commentators, and analysts on the list, Steve says that the only reason anyone even knows about them is because of the attention Caitlin Clark has brought to the league.

“Caitlin is the common denominator,” he says.

Jason says he has an opinion on the matter that is “dangerous.”

“Caitlin Clark is the slave that's building the WNBA, and all these black women are climbing all over the top of her and piggybacking her to relevance and money. She's Kunta Kinte,” he says.

Steve says that nowadays any sort of list of “influential people in any industry” involves “a lot of virtue signaling, where you now start to basically do your own version of DEI.”

“You’ve got to have a certain amount of minorities, certain people of religion, color, sexual orientation. Those lists really are not honest; they're basically a rainbow coalition of, ‘Hey look at me, I'm progressive, I'm not one of the racists,'” he says.

Cowardly or spot on? Patrick Mahomes and Caitlin Clark address Trump and Kamala controversies



Although they shouldn’t, celebrity endorsements hold a lot of weight for many people. When Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris as we expected she would, certainly it solidified the future votes of a great number of her followers.

While Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has yet to formally endorse a candidate, we can assume his endorsement is coming soon, and it will almost certainly be another win for the Democratic Party.

Two other professional athletes who have hinted at their political leanings are Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Both athletes have been asked point blank who they will be supporting in the upcoming election, and according to Jason Whitlock, their answers were “appropriate, interesting reactions.”

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

“I've always said I don't want, I don't want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate. ... I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, is to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family,” Mahomes said, adding that “every time I'm on this stage and I get asked these questions, I'm going refer back to that because I think that's what makes America so great.”

In reference to Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, liking some of Donald Trump’s tweets, another reporter then asked: “Do you have a thought about specifically about the idea of President Trump bringing up Brittany’s name? Does that affect you one way or another?”

Mahomes again refused to get explicitly political.

“At the end of the day, it's about about me and my family and how we treat other people. ... Brittany does a lot in the community; I do a lot in the community to help bring people up and give people other opportunities to use their voice, and so in the political times, people are going to use stuff here and there, but I can't let that affect how I go about my business every single day and live my life.”

Jason calls Mahomes’ response a “home run.”

He also respected Caitlin Clark’s response when USA Today’s Christine Brennan asked her about liking Taylor Swift’s Instagram post endorsing Kamala Harris.

“I have this amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be just encourage people to register to vote. I think for myself, this is the second time I can vote in an election at age 22. I could vote when I was 18, so I think do that. That’s the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have, and that's the same thing Taylor did, and I think continue to educate yourself with the candidates that we have, the policies that they're supporting. I think that's the biggest thing you can do, and that's what I would recommend to every single person that has that opportunity in our country,” was Clark’s response.

Steve Kim thinks Clark’s answer is going to upset a lot of people, however.

Certain people are “going to be very angry now at Caitlin for not giving a full-blown pledge to campaign and to vote for the Democratic Party,” he tells Jason.

Did Caitlin Clark just lose Jason Whitlock as a fan after she liked Taylor Swift’s post endorsing Kamala Harris?



Following the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Taylor Swift took to Instagram and endorsed Harris and Walz. No surprises there.

While the pop star encouraged people to do their research and vote for the candidate they feel best represents their values, she punctuated the post with a jab at JD Vance by signing it “Taylor Swift, childless cat lady.”

Indiana Fever point guard and most celebrated female basketball player Caitlin Clark liked Swift’s post, leading people to speculate about Clark’s political leanings – many assuming that she also must support Harris.

When asked if that was the case, Clark deflected the question and said that she would only use her platform to encourage people to vote.

“I think for myself, this is the second time I can vote in an election at age 22. I could vote when I was 18, so I think, do that. That's the biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have, and that's the same thing Taylor did. I think continuing to educate yourself with the candidates that we have, the policies that they're supporting, I think that's the biggest thing you can do, and that's what I would recommend to every single person that has that opportunity in our country."

Jason Whitlock, longtime Caitlin Clark fan and critic, discusses how Clark’s political posture will impact the way both he and fans see her.

- YouTubewww.youtube.com

According to Steve Kim, “we have to stop expecting our celebrities who we choose to follow to have the same beliefs as us, and conversely, we, the general public … have to stop being sheep and being led around the nose by any celebrity endorsement.”

“I don't know what [Clark’s] political leaning is. I don't think it really should matter, honestly,” he tells Jason, adding that he hopes “it does not change [Jason’s] opinion of her.”

Tyreek Hill is the NEXT George Floyd



Tyreek Hill found himself face-down on the pavement in handcuffs after he was detained by Miami police for reckless driving near Hard Rock Stadium before the Dolphins game.

“People are looking for the next George Floyd, and that’s why I think people are making a big deal out of what happened to Tyreek Hill,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments, noting that a similar thing happened to golfer Scottie Scheffler.

However, because Scheffler is white, no one cared.

“This is incredible. Tyreek Hill gets briefly detained, put on the ground, and gets to go on and play the football game,” Whitlock says. “Jemele Hill somehow connects this to Steven Ross, the owner, and so she tweets out ‘A reminder that Steve Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a huge Donald Trump supporter — the same Trump who supports giving ALL police immunity from prosecution. Do with that what you will.'”

“They’re trying to immediately turn this into a political issue. There’s no authenticity here, there’s no fairness here. It’s like ‘Oh, we’ve got our George Floyd, we can use this. America’s all racist because Tyreek Hill got cuffed briefly,’” Whitlock mocks.

Stephen A. Smith is really pushing the political race-bait, calling what happened to Hill “totally unnecessary.”

In a post to X, Smith wrote, “I know the Scottie Scheffler incident was in Georgia — not Florida — and he was arrested, detained, booked. I also know we don’t know all the details, blah … blah … blah! But he wasn’t faced down on the ground in cuffs, then forcibly sat down again by officers a second time. Nah! This story isn’t going away — and it doesn’t need to.”

Whitlock notes that Hill has been accused of domestic violence and has several “baby mamas” — so he’s not a totally innocent man anyway.

“People act like there’s no through line, that there’s no connection, that ‘Hey, if I’m irresponsible here, that doesn’t mean I’m irresponsible over here,’” he says, adding, “Yes, it actually does. Irresponsible people do irresponsible things.”
