Cam Newton disses Jason Whitlock — who fires back with a biblical reality check



When former NFL quarterback Cam Newton recently took aim at Jason Whitlock, he boasted about his influence on culture and warned Whitlock that he’s “not plum dumb."

But Whitlock isn’t buying it.

“One thing about me, Mr. Whitlock, my voice to the culture is way more heavier than I even expected it to be. I owe a service to speak up for the muzzled, for the muted, the forgotten, or the overlooked,” Newton began.

“To make sure my dialect, my tone, my vernacular is not only factual, but it’s also relatable to my kind. My kind is not just a color. … So be careful, Mr. Whitlock, because you fell victim to what I really wanted you and others to understand. I may look some dumb, but I ain’t plum dumb,” he continued.


“So I’m comfortable in my skin. Are you comfortable in yours?” he asked.

“I’ll start with your last question,” Whitlock responds. “Am I comfortable in my skin? And he’s saying that he’s comfortable in his. And so I’m going to deal with your question legitimately.”

“I think what you mean is, am I comfortable being black? But let me answer your first question. Am I comfortable in my skin? My skin is not a color,” he explains, noting that “no,” he is “not comfortable” is his skin.

However, it’s because he has “a biblical worldview.”

“I know that I’m a wretched, lustful ignoramus and that the Bible and Christianity actually teaches me to deny myself — that my instincts, what I want to do, will lead me astray. And so I get up every day and go to war with Jason Whitlock,” Whitlock says.

“Because I have figured out that the things that I want actually hurt me, damage me, and that the Bible and the whole point of Christianity is denial of what I want.

"As it relates to ‘am I comfortable being black,’ which is the question you were really asking,” he continues. “Not only am I comfortable, I enjoy it. I love it. It’s the way God made me. Yes, I’m very comfortable with my skin color. I’m very uncomfortable with who I am. And I fight it every day,” he adds.

And while Whitlock admits he is flawed, he points out that Newton is likely no different from him.

“You’ve impregnated a stripper or two. Sounds like you like strippers. So did I. I had to fight myself and retrain, reprogram my brain so that I would deny myself my lustful thoughts. … If we’re doing life right, we should not be comfortable with our desires. We should be submitting to His desires,” Whitlock says.

“Cam, I think you know this, because your dad’s a minister. And I think you’re in rebellion to this, perhaps because your dad’s a minister,” he continues. “But that is the difference between me and you.”

‘It’s way too manipulated’: Whitlock bashes NFL after Bill Belichick snubbed as first-ballot Hall of Famer



In a major shock to the football world, eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

While the Hall of Famers were being voted on earlier this month, Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed in order to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility.

“There’s two, like, first-ballot Hall of Fame guys,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Fearless,” referencing Larry Fitzgerald and Drew Brees.

“If I were them, I would consider, like, ‘No, I’m good. Put me in with Bill next year,’ because going in this year, everything is going to be about, ‘Y’all left Bill out,’” he continues.


“The actual players, Drew Brees, Larry, they’re going to be overshadowed and would be better served going in with Bill Belichick next year,” he adds.

And Whitlock believes this is a deeper issue.

“The whole process has been headed this direction for years. The writers have egos. ... It’s way too manipulated,” Whitlock says, pointing out that voters include women like Lisa Salters, who “doesn’t watch football.”

“She stands on the sidelines after games and says, ‘Hey, in the third quarter you threw for 300 yards, and in the fourth quarter you only threw for 150. What changed?’” he explains.

“It’s just a quota box at this point. Do you fit a quota,” he adds.

“The National Football League, the people that write about the National Football League, the people that coach in the National Football League, the front office folks, it’s not for everyone,” BlazeTV contributor Matt McChesney chimes in.

“The NFL is a very specific niche ... and to assume that everybody belongs is not the right way to do this. So, I just don’t understand how they can put themselves in this position,” he adds.

Jason Whitlock: How should Christians respond to Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis?



As Minnesota descends into chaos reminiscent of 2020, one viral post on X has Americans like BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock pondering how Christians should be responding to the world being set on fire, yet again.

“If u can’t clearly & boldly state the craziness of Democrats being unable to define what a woman is & saying men can get pregnant, AND the madness of Republicans defending the murder of Alex Pretti, then you’re following a political party/ideology & not The Lord Jesus Christ,” Fox Sports analyst Chris Broussard wrote in a post on X.

“How should Christians be responding to ICE officials and the killing of Alex Pretti? How should we be responding to this controversy?” Whitlock asks his panel on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”


“We should always respond prayerfully. We should always respond according to scripture, according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That’s with any situation,” BlazeTV contributor Anthony Walker responds.

“It becomes so layered that we actually lose the situation at hand. So that’s why, I again, I underline prayerfully, scripturally, and spiritually,” he adds.

BlazeTV contributor Virgil Walker also believes the proper response should be looking to God.

“Whether it was the death of George Floyd, or the death of anyone, regardless of their ethnicity, regardless of the conditions by which death occurred, we should mourn the loss of an image bearer created in the image of God. Regardless of ideological framework, regardless of all of the camera angles, regardless of any of that,” Walker responds.

He also points out that scripture tells us not to rejoice in the death of the wicked.

“I’m not saying that Alex was wicked, that man who passed away was wicked ... I’m simply saying that if we’re not going to rejoice in the death of the wicked, we should not rejoice in anyone’s death,” he explains.

However BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle has a bit of a different take.

“I’ve been frustrated, Jason, over this entire thing ... the idea that Christians are just supposed to be, I don’t know, like these weak, perfect people. And I’m really tired of people trying to qualify Christians and tell us how we’re supposed to feel or think about certain social issues that are happening in the country,” Michelle says.

“I feel like my empathy button is broken,” she adds.

Josh Allen cast as the next ‘great white villain'



Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has it all — a great job, a beautiful wife, with whom he is expecting a child.

And because of this, he is being framed as the next “great white villain.”

In an article written by Bobby Burack and published by OutKick, Burack argues that Allen is getting much the same treatment as Caitlin Clark.

“If you’re starting to see a trend, there are no Great White Hopes in 2026. The racial discourse in sports is largely the product of commentators convincing themselves that any praise or popularity of a white athlete must be rooted in racial bias,” Burack explains.


“Much of the sports media, which is not an especially impressive or rigorous group, operates from a Marxian worldview in which one person’s success must come from another’s exploitation. Translated, they believe the popularity of a white athlete comes at the expense of a black athlete,” he continues.

“They are so committed to this worldview that they go on television and onto their made-for-Bluesky podcasts to throw tantrums over things no one actually said about athletes like Josh Allen and Caitlin Clark,” he adds.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock could not agree more.

“There aren’t people running around caping up for Josh Allen,” Whitlock says. “To the contrary: When Josh Allen just played a poor playoff game and cost his team that playoff game with ridiculous mistakes and interceptions and fumbles and whatnot, everybody criticized Josh Allen,” he says on “Fearless.”

“What actually does transpire is that when a black athlete, particularly one who Ryan Clark and others have deemed as authentically black, meaning they wear cornrows or they braid their hair or they talk Ebonics very effectively on TV … there is a caping-up for them,” Whitlock explains.

“Everybody loves to celebrate the black athlete that acts like a buffoon,” he continues, adding, “And then when that black athlete who acts like a buffoon washes out and fails because of his immaturity, everybody gets amnesia that they were celebrating this buffoonery.”

Race-baiting exposed: Whitlock calls out Pam Grier’s ‘lynching’ tale and Jasmine Crockett’s ‘hood’ warning



Actress Pam Grier revealed to the ladies of “The View” that as a child, she witnessed a lynched body hanging from a tree in Columbus, Ohio.

“My mom would go, ‘Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look,’ and she’d pull us away because there was someone hanging from a tree,” Grier explained as the audience gasped. “And they have a memorial for it now where you can see where people were and left. And it triggers me today to see that a voice can be silenced and if a white family supported a black, they’re going to get burned down or killed or lynched as well.”

And Grier isn’t the only one talking about lynching in 2026.

“Honestly, they about to outlaw the idea of white supremacy and white hate. Like, they are about to be like, ‘Oh, that’s not a thing.’ Forget the fact that you’re talking about getting rid of, like, the classification for nooses in a time in which we have seen these random black bodies be strung up down south,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said in a recent video.


She went on to claim that Trump is emboldening white people to “take off their hoods.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t surprised, but he is a little disturbed.

“There’s the audience gasping. ... The truth is irrelevant. Everything is emotional. Everything’s just, say whatever you want, and we’ve got to live with your delusion,” Whitlock says.

“I think Pam Grier is 76 years old. That means she was born around 1950. The last documented lynching, I believe, in Ohio, was 1911. Lynching just hasn’t been a thing since the 1920s or ’30s,” he continues.

“And this will be real controversial ... but I’m standing on this and saying that this whole lynching thing — completely exaggerated. Completely exaggerated. Just like police shootings, completely exaggerated,” he adds.

Whitlock points out that while many black people now fear the police, they’re far more likely to be killed by someone who is also black than by a police officer.

“There’s been so much propaganda around it, but when you’re black, when we black people in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s — they weren’t sitting around living in fear. ‘Oh, the KKK is coming, and they’re going to kill me,’” Whitlock says.

“Did it happen occasionally? Yes. No different than very occasionally the police kill someone in the black community unfairly, but if you’re going to die violently in any community, it’s going to be someone that lives in your community that does it,” he explains.

“If I had been in that audience when Pam Grier said that, I would have shouted out, ‘That’s a lie.’ I literally would have shouted out, ‘That’s a lie,’” he adds.

Whitlock: Female athletes are CHAOS agents destroying women’s sports from within



Women’s basketball is not doing great, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes it has a lot to do with the feminist attitude of the players — which has led to the failure of making their new Unrivaled basketball league a must-watch.

This new league is a three-versus-three women’s basketball league that WNBA players started last year to play in their off season.

“This is year two. The ratings have absolutely collapsed. There’s 50, 60 thousand people watching these Unrivaled basketball games. Last year, I think 2, 300, 400 thousand people were watching. It is a horrendous product, ... and it’s not surprising to me that it would collapse,” Whitlock explains on “Fearless.”


“Players in the WNBA are causing the collapse of the WNBA, causing the collapse of women’s sports. This is an inside job by the actual players in women’s athletics. They are destroying themselves and their own league. They are destroying women’s sports,” he adds.

Whitlock believes this is a reflection of “matriarchal leadership.”

“They’re not leaders; they’re chaos agents. ... They are actually destroying themselves,” he says.

Whitlock also points out that almost all of the famous women in sports — save Caitlin Clark — have adopted the gender-fluid, race-worshipping, lesbian lifestyle — making them horrific role models for young girls.

“Because Caitlin Clark didn’t fit the lesbian stereotype, she hadn’t adopted the lesbian lifestyle, and because she’s white, the lesbians and the jealous, angry black women have ganged up on her, pushed her out, and made all sports fans deal with, like, ‘Who are these people we’re supporting?’” Whitlock explains.

And this phenomenon is not central to just basketball, but also women’s soccer players like Megan Rapinoe.

“Do I really want Megan Rapinoe as a role model for young girls? These women are insane,” Whitlock says. “And so, I’m sitting here applauding the collapse of the WNBA.”

“This Unrivaled league and the ratings are an embarrassment,” he says. “They’re a statement about how little interest there actually is in women’s basketball beyond Caitlin Clark.”

Jason Whitlock: Stephen A. Smith is a part of a controlled ‘clown show’



From allegedly false claims about Stephen A. Smith’s basketball background to what Jason Whitlock calls a lack of basic sports knowledge and writing ability, the BlazeTV host argues Smith’s success isn’t accidental.

Rather, it’s the result of a system that rewards obedience over independent thinking, particularly among black men.

“Stephen A. Smith, as I have exposed to you all on this show — his background, his narrative, his story: It’s all a fabrication. He wasn’t a college basketball player at Winston-Salem State. He didn’t knock down 17 straight three-pointers and earn a scholarship at Winston-Salem State,” Whitlock begins.

“You’ve seen me expose all of that. You saw Stephen A. Smith get triggered by me exposing all of that. You saw this man snap and put on a 45-minute profanity-laced tirade because I explained to you all — I read his book. We’ve done the research. We’ve gone through all these different lies,” he continues.


Whitlock believes that Smith is nothing more than a “fraud” who is “unqualified for all the things he’s been given.”

“They take someone with very limited talent, give them positions and jobs and a platform that they can’t do on their own,” he says, noting that even as a sportswriter, Smith “wrote at like an eighth-grade level” and “doesn’t know or follow sports in a real way.”

“Claims to be a New York Knicks fan, doesn’t know who’s on the roster, thinks you can kick a field goal on third down — and if you miss it, you can re-kick it on fourth down. That’s who has been installed at the top of the sports media landscape,” Whitlock explains.

“This is all intentional,” he continues. “Black men who can think for themselves, who have some sort of intellectual evolution, need not apply for the clown show that is being run.”

Ravens’ owner enrages fans over ‘Lamar has no power’ bombshell — but Jason Whitlock reads between the lines



On Monday at their end-of-season media conference, Baltimore Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti made statements about the team’s quarterback Lamar Jackson that deeply upset fans and NFL commentators.

When asked whether Lamar Jackson was consulted before head coach John Harbaugh was fired, Bisciotti said that while he had spoken with Lamar, whom he described as “nonconfrontational,” he didn’t play an “outsized part” in the decision.

He also said that when it comes to hiring a new head coach, Jackson has “a lot of say, but he has no power.”

“Let me translate that for you,” says BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock. “What he's saying is: Lamar Jackson is not a leader.”

“It's not that leaders look for confrontation, but they're not afraid of confrontation. They don't avoid confrontation. They don't avoid conflict. They settle conflict. ... That’s not Lamar Jackson,” he says.

“[Jackson] knows what he can actually do, and that's play quarterback, make enough plays with his arms and feet to be an exceptional quarterback, but that's it. He's not a leader. They don't have the traditional quarterback leadership with Lamar Jackson.”

The fans and critics who have complained about Jackson’s lack of power when it comes to team decisions clearly don’t understand this about him, says Jason. But Bisciotti “[knows] exactly who Lamar Jackson is” — not a “business mogul who we need to be conferring with before making business decisions” but an “overgrown [child].”

Part of Jackson’s growing up journey needs to involve “[keeping] his mama out of his business,” says Jason. Jackson’s mother, Felicia, has operated as his manager since his NFL debut and to this day plays a central role in his contract negotiations.

Jason warns that if she gets “gassed up by the idiots on ESPN and other places that talk about ‘player empowerment’ and ‘Lamar must have influence,”’ she’s going to create major problems between her son and Steve Bisciotti.

If Jackson were anything like former Ravens’ heart-and-soul leaders Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, it’d be a different story.

“Steve Bisciotti makes it crystal clear we don't have a Ray Lewis situation here with Lamar Jackson. We have a great quarterback who likes to play video games, who can't stay healthy for 17 games, particularly now as he ages and takes more hits. We want to keep this quarterback, but we're not going to treat him like he's Ray Lewis or Ed Reed,” says Jason.

Christian nationalists argue ‘less than ideal’ interracial relationships are wrong



When interracial marriage became a hot topic on the tip of Christian nationalists' tongues this week, the controversial pastor Joel Webbon chimed in — sparking even more debate.

“Interracial marriage, while biblically permissible, generally/ordinarily goes against God’s normative design for humanity, nations, and cultures,” Webbon said in a post on X.

Dale Partridge, another minister, responded to Webbon’s post, writing: “As a Christian man happily married to a Mexican/Spanish/American woman, I actually agree with Joel Webbon. Interracial marriage is not the ‘ideal.’ Now, like Joel, I do not believe it is sinful, and if providence positions two Christians from different ethnic backgrounds to unite in marriage, it can be a glorious thing (which it has been for us).”


=

Partridge went on to caveat that interracial marriage “does create a variety of additional hurdles in marriage and family life.”

BlazeTV contributor Virgil Walker doesn't quite align with their beliefs, but he also doesn’t feel the need to disparage them for it.

“There’s a branch, there’s a segment of the Christian nationalist movement that I’ve warned about years ago, that I wrote about, regarding this ethnocentrism that would take shape and take place. And there’s nothing wrong with ethnic centrality, with thinking about your ethnicity,” Walker tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

“The problem is when we start pushing these morality ideas, these moral issues, these moral ideas, into the context of ethnicity to say, ‘Hey, marriage outside of this is not ideal and here’s why.’ You’re adding to what God has already stated about who we are, about how we’re to function, and even about who we’re to marry,” Walker explains.

“What these men are doing are they’re signaling where they stand, and I’m not mad at that. I’m not angry at that at all. I think it’s actually a good thing for them to signal where they stand for those who operate and agree with them to align themselves with that kind of thinking,” he continues.

“I do think it is incumbent upon us, as ministers of the gospel, as Christians, as thought leaders, to be clear about what the Bible actually says and not allow anyone to say what God has not said,” he adds.

Whitlock: Matt Ryan’s Falcons promotion will see former NFL stars play the race card



The Atlanta Falcons have hired franchise legend Matt Ryan, 40, to be the team president of football after the ex-NFL quarterback worked as an NFL analyst for CBS Sports.

While BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is happy for Ryan, he notes that the growing trend of former NFL players who happen to be white ending up working for the franchise later on will likely not be received well by other former NFL players.

“We’ve seen this with Tom Brady having a role with the Raiders, part of the ownership group there, and being Fox Sports’ lead broadcaster. We’ve seen Troy Aikman now. He’s some sort of consultant for the Miami Dolphins and Stephen Ross in their rebuild of their organization while he maintains his job on ESPN’s Monday Night Football — and now Matt Ryan,” Whitlock says.


“Shannon Sharpe, Cam Newton are in the lab right now preparing their racial takes. They may have uncorked them already,” he continues.

“But I know Cam Newton is going to have one of those funky Fridays where he’s sitting there going, ‘Well, hold on. I was the MVP of the league. I played in a Super Bowl and lost. How come I’m not the Carolina Panthers team president and a broadcaster on one of the major networks around the NFL? The only explanation can be racism,’” he speculates.

And one of the major reasons Whitlock believes ex-athletes like Matt Ryan find more success in sports broadcasting than someone like Cam Newton has nothing to do with race.

“Present yourself in a professional manner,” Whitlock says. “All of this wanting to look like some kind of rapper at a gay pride parade, it’s a mistake. If you want the same opportunities, if you want to be seen in a certain light, in a position where someone says, ‘Hey, that could be the leader of our organization.’”

“Don’t let your presentation of yourself overshadow what you’re actually presenting. Because these white guys that get their opportunities, they show up to work dressed in a way they’re like, ‘Hey man, what I’m about to say is really important,’” he continues.

“How are you presenting yourself?” he asks.
