LeBron’s ‘Second Decision’ leaves basketball fans FURIOUS



On Monday, October 6, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James teased a big announcement. Pitching it as “the Second Decision” — a parody of his infamous 2010 ESPN special where he revealed leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat — NBA fans held their breath in anticipation that the 40-year-old basketball veteran would either announce his retirement or a change in teams.

But no.

It turns out the big reveal has nothing to do with basketball at all. LeBron’s big announcement turned out to be a promotional campaign for a limited-edition Hennessy V.S.O.P cognac bottle collaboration, which will feature his signature “crowning” gesture.

Needless to say, basketball fans are infuriated. The manipulative clickbait marketing left them feeling emotionally exploited, especially considering LeBron’s recent hints at an impending end to his NBA career.

But Jason Whitlock is frustrated by something else: LeBron is yet again leaning deliberately into black stereotypes for marketing gain.

“If he was going to lean into a stereotype, at least he didn't lean into watermelon,” he scoffs.

“This is maddening,” says “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim, who was excited at the prospect of LeBron finally retiring or leaving the Lakers.

“He just won't go away, Whitlock. We're stuck with this guy,” he sighs.

Jason is ready for the LeBron mania to fizzle out, too, but for him, it’s less about basketball and more about LBJ’s impact on culture. He’s tired of the “Bronsexuals” — James’ most ardent, overly defensive fans who exhibit an intense, almost obsessive loyalty to him — “[pretending] like LeBron is some genius, that LeBron is some influencer that's ahead of the conversation.”

“I'm not sure if this dude can read, write, comprehend,” says Jason.

“This guy's got one of the biggest brands in all of America and he's ... [using] it to promote Hennessy” — the most “ghetto liquor in the world?” he asks.

The marketing ploy also proves that LeBron has learned nothing from his past mistakes. The original “Decision,” during which he announced his transition to Miami, was not received well by fans.

“He got ripped and destroyed from that, and you would think that he would learn a lesson from that and that 15 years later, he wouldn't be doing something to draw comparisons to ['the Decision'] and then to do something equally as small,” says Jason.

He can only assume that LeBron’s handlers — Adam Mendelsohn, Rich Paul, and Maverick Carter — are just as cognitively stunted as the drama king himself.

“They can't talk LeBron out of leaning into brown liquor stereotypes?” asks Jason, baffled.

He assumes that LeBron’s Hennessy collab will be defended by the usual tactic of playing the race card: “Anyone that criticizes this will be either an Uncle Tom or sellout like me, or they'll be a racist.”

Now that LeBron’s retirement is no longer on the table, Jason and Steve fear that the aging athlete will play until he’s 50 years old.

“He's certainly going to play until he can force his other son into the NBA,” says Jason.

“That might drive me to Hennessy,” Steve laughs.

Magazine MILKS Belichick-Hudson humiliation ritual



Bill Belichick has accomplished a lot in his football career, but now he’s added another completely different notch to his belt. That is, the North Carolina head coach has become the first coach ever featured on the cover of Us Weekly magazine with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

And BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock does not believe it’s a good thing.

“I’ve heard of midlife crisis ... but on the cover of a magazine with your sugar baby? This, to me, this feels like some sort of ritual, humiliation ritual,” Whitlock says.

“And it couldn’t have come at a worse time,” BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim chimes in. “Look, I understand the way the media works a little bit, and I’m sure this cover was planned out months ago, but to come out on the same week after you get just blown away by USF and on a game day where, once again, she’s on the sideline before the game, I think that’s the greatest irony.”


And BlazeTV contributor T.J. Moe points out that it’s going even worse for Belichick than just poor optics.

“There’s a lawsuit right now going on. It got filed today, where one of the former administrators is suing UNC for hiring Belichick behind closed doors. This is how poorly this is going,” Moe explains.

“This is how upset UNC is right now with the hiring of Bill Belichick,” he says, noting, “and they’re embarrassed about it.”

“I don’t have another explanation other than he’s so tied up in this 24-year-old that he was willing to sacrifice his entire reputation and his life,” he adds.

Whitlock: White-girl magic invades the WNBA



It’s no secret that the WNBA has long been a black-dominated league, but BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is shocked to see that the early leading candidates for MVP are white.

He calls them “great white hopes.”

“White women have invaded the WNBA and are dominating the WNBA, and I think there’s a reason why. I think, honest to goodness, I think sports are being dominated by two-parent-family kids,” Whitlock says, adding, “The era of the baby-mama professional sports leagues is coming to an end.”

Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum, and Napheesa Collier are all leading candidates, and Whitlock couldn’t be happier to see it.

However, BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim worries that there could be “dishonest types of agendas being thrown around to make sure that certain players don’t win it.”


“Not this year,” Whitlock says. “Unless Napheesa Collier gets hurt, she’s going to win it in a landslide.”

Whitlock believes that the trend he’s seeing largely has to do with children and teens who play basketball needing to travel to play in tournaments.

“That’s a two-parent experience,” he says. “That’s not a one-parent situation.”

He also believes that the cultural pushback against police and religion has negatively impacted children’s sports in the black community.

“You don’t have a daddy; there’s a policeman or a fireman or some law enforcement official that’s got a league to try to develop you, to get you on a path away from criminality, or whatever; there’s the church league. That’s all being pushed out,” he explains.

“And so now, there is no safety net for the kids that don’t have intact families, and the expense of traveling, the free time to travel, only two-parent families can handle,” he adds.

Brittney Griner’s optics RUINED by Caitlin Clark fans



In the middle of a halftime interview, WNBA star Brittney Griner interrupted the conversations to yell at the referees for “blowing a call” and revealed her true colors to fans all over the country.

“No one wants to see that,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock tells BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim on “Fearless.” “And look, I’m going to be hypocritical, or double standard, if that were a man in a men’s league, I think people would be more tolerant of it.”

“But to see women behaving that way, behaving as men, being as profane, trying to be as intimidating,” Whitlock continues, “This is why they don’t want fans like me paying attention. That kind of stuff could go on in the old days, and it would be a tree falling in the woods. No one would complain because no one saw it.”


“So you’re not a fan of her being authentically Brittney,” Kim responds.

In another clip of Griner during a game against the Indiana Fever, it appears that she’s saying something negative about “white girls” through lip reading and clear anger through her body language.

Kim doesn’t believe it matters what Griner said as it’s during a heated game, and Whitlock agrees — but notes the fallout would be different for someone like Caitlin Clark.

“Steve, I’m right there with you. It doesn’t matter to me what Brittney Griner said there in the heat of the moment. You’re absolutely right,” Whitlock says. “If Caitlin Clark’s on camera mouthing the words ‘black girl,’ it doesn’t matter in what context. She’d get strung up.”

“This is why they don’t want Caitlin Clark fans paying attention, because we’ll question things that previously would never be questioned,” he adds.

Jordon Hudson just doing her job? Cowherd DEFENDS infamous age-gap couple



The recent CBS interview with Bill Belichick, where his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson interrupted to steer the conversation, has been the subject of some serious controversy the past couple of weeks — but one sports commentator is standing by Belichick’s side.

Colin Cowherd recently defended the couple on his show, “The Herd,” where he admitted that the interview was “cringy” but explained that Hudson is just doing her job.

“She’s his PR director. She’s Bill’s influencer, which he didn’t need in the NFL, but you actually do in college. I thought this was kind of a cringy thing, but she is multiple things for Bill. Assistant, girlfriend, social media producer, PR handler. She fills a lot of roles, and people are kind of uncomfortable with it,” Cowherd said.


“Sometimes in life, you don’t have to wear a headset to call plays. She’s calling plays for Bill, which he didn’t need in the NFL, but he actually does in college football where players now select you,” he continued.

“As I watched this interview, I thought, ‘Oh, I’ve watched interviews like this, CEOs have people like Jordon Hudson.’ You know, presidents, politicians, senators, governors, media execs, they all have people like Jordon Hudson,’” he added.

Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” isn’t quite on the same page.

“I’ve seen it, too, and Monica Lewinsky was not a PR director, she was an intern,” Whitlock says, adding, “Colin left out a description here of her, you know, one of her titles is concubine, I believe. And so he left that out.”

“Yeah, this may be his worst take since the ‘party of joy,’” BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim chimes in. “If she was just in the background, and we never really saw her, I don’t think most people would even care about this anymore.”

“The issue becomes, or is becoming, that she is becoming more and more of an influence, and it just looks kind of strange,” he adds.

DEI ‘makes the NFL better’: Roger Goodell REFUSES to stop woke initiatives



While President Donald Trump is attempting to undo all the diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives the previous administration forced on Americans, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is standing firm in his support for DEI.

“We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League, and we’re going to continue those efforts, because we’re not only convinced ourselves, I think we’ve proven ourselves that it does make the NFL better,” Goodell said in a recent press conference.

“So we’re not in this because it’s a trend to get in it, or a trend to get out of it, our efforts are fundamental in trying to attract the best possible talent into the National Football League both on and off the field,” he added.

Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” isn’t even close to being convinced.


“I wish he would point to an example of the clear proof,” Whitlock says, adding, “Give me something tangible rather than just platitudes.”

Steve Kim doesn’t just agree but believes DEI is itself “very un-American.”

“Here’s the issue, do all the DEI initiatives you want, put all the slogans you want in the back of the end zone, put it on the 50 yard line. Nobody cares. We’re at that point now in American society, we either are ignoring it or we have an incredible amount of apathy towards it,” Kim says.

“You can have a platform, that’s great. We can choose to ignore it. You can have a message, we can choose to disagree with it. But no longer do we have to pander and pretend that we give a s*** about whatever you’re saying,” he adds.

Whitlock, again, just wants “to see proof that it works.”

“Handing out jobs based on a color code and based on who’s sleeping with who, or who you’re sexually attracted to — show me that it works,” he says.

Jemele Hill's HATRED for Caitlin Clark SILENCED following stalker arrest



Journalist Jemele Hill is one of Caitlin Clark’s biggest haters, but after recent news of Clark’s stalker’s arrest, she’s clearly begun to regret that decision and wiped all of her past comments on the WNBA star off social media.

However, the internet never forgets.

“I don’t like to play the Oppression Olympics, but … has CC had to delete her social media accounts? No, but her teammate Aliyah Boston did. CC has given out a few hard shots herself, talked trash, jawed with the refs, and yes any time she is subjected to physical play, a hard foul, or trash talk, opposing players are absolutely villainized,” Hill wrote in now-deleted post on X.

“She is not constantly subjected to racial slurs, and whatever hate she does experience, she is not told to toughen up or that her feelings don’t matter. She is not subjected to both sides-ism, nor are people trying to justify any hatred against her. That’s the difference,” Hill continued.


Hill attempted to delete the tweets after Michael Lewis, 55, was charged with stalking Clark. Prosecutors allege he engaged in a “course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Caitlin Clark that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized.”

Lewis allegedly sent vulgar and sexually graphic messages to Clark on social media platform X.

While Jason Whitlock and Steve Kim of “Fearless” are grateful Clark’s stalker is having his day in court, they, like the internet, have not forgotten the attack tweets Hill has run on Clark.

“Jemele Hill got busted,” Whitlock says happily. “She got exposed once again.”

“Miss Hill wrote she doesn’t play in the victim Olympics; are you kidding me? She’s won more gold medals than Carl Lewis and Michael Phelps. She’s the greatest of all time at them,” Kim laughs.

“I don’t understand why people, Miss Hill, ever delete their tweets. Do they not realize, and I’ve gone through this, everyone will basically screenshot stuff that you say and just keep it in that folder. They’ll keep it in the draft forever. They have that thing holstered like Wyatt Earp,” Kim adds.

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.

- YouTube www.youtube.com

“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.”

America has 'GONE SOFT' and needs a return to masculinity



Bill Maher and the alpha of the UFC, Dana White, have basically nothing in common — until now.

When White went on Maher’s "Club Random" podcast, this became clear when they started discussing the softening of sports and landed on the topic of Damar Hamlin’s injury.

“By the time night had fallen on this event, it was just the one true opinion that this game could not have been played, because that’s the way America reacts to things. Now, I’m in the opinion that they should have played the game,” Maher told White.

But they didn’t play the game, because they claimed the most important thing was Damar, which Maher called “bad logic.”

“How does that affect playing the game? He’s in the hospital. Unless the doctors are watching the game out of the corner of their eye while they’re operating on him, I don’t think it’s going to affect anything,” Maher continued, noting that the first thing Hamlin said when he woke up was “Did we win?”

“No, because you live in baby land, Damar,” Maher laughed.

“I don’t disagree with you,” White said, adding, “The last thing that I want to see is any more of the p***ification of this country.”

Jason Whitlock is thrilled that this conversation is happening between such big names.

“These types of conversations where Bill Maher’s trying to bring sanity back to the left always please me. And to see Dana White co-signing pleased me as well,” Whitlock says.
