10 years later, we're still talking about Colin Kaepernick — because he conquered the NFL



Ten years after Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest ignited one of the biggest cultural battles in sports history, the former NFL quarterback says he still believes the league has blackballed him.

But according to BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock, that claim misses the bigger story.

“Ten years later, Colin Kaepernick just told the country he won,” Whitlock says.

“He sat with NBC News and said he no longer watches the NFL because the league is actively blackballing him and the men who knelt with him. He watches college football now. That is not a quarterback begging for a clipboard; that is a man who knows the institution already belongs to him,” he explains.

“A three-minute kneel during the national anthem has been stretched into game-long signs in every NFL stadium. ‘End racism,’ ‘stop hate,’” he continues, noting that it’s not going away any time soon.


“For the 2026 season, the seventh straight year of the stencil, the league will paint those slogans in the grass and on the helmets again. Marxist liturgy as field decoration. [Kaepernick] never needed another snap. He needed the building to preach after he left the huddle,” he says.

And the “diversity score cards" within the league — like the male cheerleaders who went viral not too long ago — still “sit in the front office as if they were defensive schemes.”

“The NFL did not stumble into this; it was discipled into it. [Kaepernick] watches college football and accuses the NFL of blackballing him,” Whitlock says.

“He can afford the sneer. He is one of America’s greatest Trojan horses. He never recaptured the quarterback job. He captured the institution,” he continues. “The NFL thought it was containing a protest. It was being converted by one.”

“What began as a sideline gesture now owns the grass, the hiring, and the moral vocabulary of Sunday. The loudest league in the country is still kneeling. The quietest quarterback already cashed the cultural check,” he adds.

And while Kaepernick is often treated as a “failed activist,” that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

“Ten years later, we are still talking about Colin Kaepernick. … That is a cultural victory that never required a comeback, a tryout, or another down. He sacrificed a fading quarterback career and got a league to carry his flag,” Whitlock says.

Jason Whitlock: Washington Post columnist FIRED, then REHIRED after disturbing Charlie Kirk death post



Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah was rehired after her termination over social media posts about Charlie Kirk's assassination after taking the publication to court — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is disappointed to hear it.

“This is a woman that had tweeted out some really negative things about the death of Charlie Kirk, and the Washington Post said, ‘Hey, we don’t need any of that.’ She was a columnist there covering race and culture,” Whitlock explains.

“She sued to get her job back, and this week, she won that lawsuit and has been reinstated,” he adds.

An article from the New York Times reported that “the Washington Post said in its termination letter that Ms. Attiah’s posts about Mr. Kirk had harmed ‘the integrity’ of the organization and violated standards requiring employees to use social media with civility and respect.”


“Ms. Attiah’s remarks about Mr. Kirk’s assassination, which she posted to the social network Bluesky on Sept. 10, the day he was shot, responded to the outpouring of grief after the shooting,” The Times continued.

"Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is … not the same as violence," she wrote in a post.

“She wrote this on a post on the day he was shot,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says in disbelief.

“I can’t blame the Washington Post for not wanting to be associated with Ms. Attiah. I’m not surprised that she sued, and I’m not surprised that some liberal judge, or some liberal court, reinstated her,” he continues.

And in a recent podcast episode, conservative commentator April Chapman made her case for why things like this happen.

“Y’all not gonna like this, but it is risky and full of hidden liabilities to hire a black woman. They tend to be difficult. Okay? They tend to be less compliant. They are more likely to file a lawsuit and cry racism or sexism or some other ‘ism’ as a way to extort money from a company,” Chapman said on her podcast "Unshakable."

“She will get the company embroiled in some lawsuit that never ends. And so you don’t have to take my word for it, but because of the lack of the accountability and the ethnic narcissism of most liberal black females, like you don’t really have this problem in conservative spaces with black women,” she continued.

“But since 92% of all black women are progressive and liberal and Marxist in their worldview, what I’m saying holds to be true,” she added.

“That’s amazing,” Whitlock says, adding, “particularly coming from a black woman.”

Jason Whitlock: NFL player snaps after Druski's CTE skit goes too far



Comedian Druski has NFL players fuming after a viral sketch portrayed a concussion-riddled football star spiraling.

In the skit, he plays an NFL player named Ray Price who gets a horrific concussion on the field, becomes violent, and even evades the cop in a O.J. Simpson-inspired chase — but this time it's in a gold Ferrari.

“First off, people try to say Druski is not funny, and I find that ridiculous,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock comments. “Druski is hilarious.”

“I also find it uncomfortable that I find this so funny and I’m laughing at really inappropriate jokes, but the thing is hilarious,” he adds.


“He kind of nailed it,” Steve Kim agrees. “I think a lot of these comedic skits, if you’re really good at it, it’s a commentary on reality. Like parody is a lot to do with reality and you overblow it just to make an overall point.”

However, ex-NFL player T.J. Ward was among those who did not find it funny.

“In that skit ... it was a couple funny moments, but overall, I’m going to put my sensitivity cap on like everyone else seems to do when it’s affecting them,” Ward said in response to the skit.

“These are life and death situations. And at the end of the day, it’s a life-taking disease. And I think CTE universally is the only disease that’s allowed to be made fun of, which is crazy. You wouldn’t make fun of somebody with cancer. You wouldn’t make fun of somebody with dementia. You wouldn’t make fun of somebody with AIDS,” he continued.

“You wouldn’t make fun of anyone with these diseases that are taking lives,” he added.

“I’m going to put my insensitivity cap on and just call that cap,” Whitlock comments.

“It’s a programming that he has accepted and that many people have accepted that everybody’s looking to be a victim,” he adds.

Andrew Tate's Lawyers EXPOSE he's a fraud: ‘They told the judge they were playing a role’



Manosphere influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been forced to admit an embarrassing truth that destroys the brand they have sold to young men across the world: They were apparently lying about their wealth.

The brothers are in federal custody in Miami battling extradition to the U.K. on rape and sex-trafficking charges and have been outed by their lawyers for allegedly not owning but renting all their fancy displays of a lavish playboy lifestyle.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock has been calling what they've been doing a grift for years, and he’s not surprised in the slightest to find out he seems to be right.

“The mansion was a renovated warehouse at the end of a dead-end street across a swamp from the airport. $600,000 or $700,000 of building. The Guardian called it a ‘run-down meat factory.’ Black paint, red neon, strip-club lighting sold as a villain lair,” Whitlock says.


“Romanian seizures, cars, watches, some Bitcoin, 15 properties totaling about $2 million. Combined, the brothers were being discussed in the neighborhood of $10 million,” he continues.

“Andrew had already said on tape he did not own the cars, a trust, a percentage of a company, access to a Bugatti he did not own,” he adds.

His lawyers told a Miami judge that their $2.1 million Aston Martin and the $12 million Bugattis he showed off were rented. The $50 million yacht they boasted wasn’t theirs either, but rather a prop they received payment to promote.

“That is not new information. That is notarized information,” Whitlock says.

“Tate sold a world where the righteous measure of a man is the thing he can park. Superfly lighting. A driveway full of other people’s cars,” he adds.

But the Tate brothers' grift has revealed even more about the pair than just lies.

“You will know them by their fruit,” Whitlock says. “The love of money is the root of all evil. Not money; the love. The hunger that will rent a yacht and call it testimony.”

“They told the judge they were playing a role. Every boy who copied the role was the audience. Every dollar that role pulled was the box office. What that hustle kills is a young man’s ability to tell a father from a pimp,” he continues. “A healed boy is a threat to that revenue.”

Jason Whitlock: Target's blackface controversy may have been an inside job



Target is once again at the center of a culture-war firestorm after apologizing for a children's Halloween clown costume that resembles blackface and 19-century minstrel shows.

While Target immediately pulled their “Kids’ Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t convinced that it wasn’t an inside job.

“Who’s that outfit for? Who’s wearing that outfit? Is there any demand? Would anybody even know what they’re looking at?” Whitlock asks.

“Someone within Target wants DEI to return. So it’s not the CEO. It’s not the board. Or maybe it is a board member, who knows, but someone high up in Target wants DEI to return. Trust me, they have some LGBTQ soldiers and some BLM soldiers within Target high up who are irate,” he continues.


“Someone is orchestrating a hoax against Target from within Target,” he adds.

However, Dre Baldwin disagrees with Whitlock.

“I think that’s too much of an extrapolation,” he argues.

“I think this is just a Halloween costume. Somebody saw it. Someone within the racial grievance industry saw it. They found that picture to compare it to and said, ‘Hey, here’s racism.’ ... People who work in the racial grievance industry, as I call them, race hustlers, they go looking around for stuff like this because it gets a certain group of people excited,” he explains.

“It can lead to job offers, opportunities, etc. ... but I don’t think this was manufactured from within Target. I think it’s just a costume,” he continues, adding, “Somebody decided to see something in it that wasn’t there.”

Dildo tosses return to the WNBA — and Jason Whitlock says it's going to happen again



A Thursday night WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Los Angeles Sparks was briefly interrupted when one fan gave the players a blast from the recent past.

Strangely enough, green dildos were thrown onto WNBA courts last season in the middle of games. Now a fan is bringing the viral trend back by launching yet another sex toy onto the court.

In a video of the incident, Sparks star Cameron Brink kicked the toy away after it dropped in front of Jihyun Park, who was in the middle of a free throw. Dream star Angel Reese then pointed out the perpetrator, who was trying to flee the scene of his crime.

Security was able to stop the man from leaving, but BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock doesn’t see the trend going away anytime soon.


“I’m saying this in all seriousness. I have a source that says that will not be the last dildo thrown in the WNBA games as we close out the regular season and that dildos may start appearing in other sports,” Whitlock says, stifling laughter.

“This is a protest of the heat that Sophie Cunningham’s been taking and the whole transgender issue,” he continues. “I’m seriously saying that, because I was told by this source yesterday ... ‘dildos will fly tonight,’ and they did,” he explains.

“And they say they’re not going away,” he adds.

Steve Kim notes that Reese was on top of it.

“I’ve seen political assassination attempts where people weren’t that adamant about pointing out the shooter,” Kim says.

“It’s really too bad she wasn’t in Dallas back in ‘63. We would have found out who killed JFK,” he adds.

‘Same machine, different zip code’: Jason Whitlock links Lindsay Clancy’s $1 million GoFundMe to Karmelo Anthony



The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the 36-year old former nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, who confessed to killing her three young children — is making national waves.

According to court records and statements from the prosecution, on January 24, 2023, Clancy sent her then-husband on an errand. While he was gone, she strangled their three children — Cora, age 5; Dawson, age 3; and Callan, approximately 8 months old — with exercise bands in the basement. Clancy’s lawyers do not dispute that she killed the children. They are asking a Massachusetts jury to find her not criminally responsible, citing postpartum psychosis and her report of a male voice ordering her to take the children’s lives and her own.

Support, largely female, has rallied around Clancy — with some framing her as a victim of a fragmented, overmedicating health care system and others pushing conspiracy theories that her husband, Patrick, is the real killer who framed her.

But instead of just wearing pink T-shirts to show solidarity and holding silent vigils, supporters can now donate to the Musgrove Family Fund — a GoFundMe account started in mid-August by a Wisconsin TikTok creator for Lindsay Clancy’s parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove.

The account has already accumulated over $1 million of its $2 million goal.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is deeply disturbed by the entire situation — including the robust support for Clancy and her parents.

“Three dead children. A million-dollar pot so the killer's parents can sit the livestream in comfort,” he says.

"Postpartum becomes a hall pass, fundraising becomes penance, sympathy migrates from the grave to the defendant table because a secular people cannot say a mother who strangles three children has sinned,” he says.

It’s the same brand of darkness, Whitlock points out, that defined the robust and loud support for Karmelo Anthony, who was convicted in June for murdering 17-year old Austin Metcalf. The GiveSendGo account started by his mother raised roughly $634,000.

“Same machine, different zip code, different skin, same transfer of sympathy,” he says, comparing the Clancy and Anthony cases.

“In Massachusetts, the dead are three children, and the living adult on trial is their mother. The culture rushes to her diagnosis, her meds, her parents' hotel bill. In Texas, the dead is a 17-year-old track athlete and football player, and the living adult with the knife said a push made the blade necessary. The culture rushed to his fear, his race, his family's GoFundMe,” he continues.

The support for the killers in both of these cases, he argues, exemplifies a “godlessness.”

“A people who still answer to God can hold two truths. A sick woman can still be sick and still be guilty of murder; a teenager can feel insulted and still be a murderer,” says Whitlock.

“Suffering is real. Disrespect is real. Neither one writes a blank check on a child's life. Sin does not evaporate because a psychiatrist arrives after the fact. Murder does not shrink because a boy says, ‘He put his hands on me,”’ he continues. “The sixth commandment did not come with a postpartum footnote. It did not come with a disrespect clause.”

People who see themselves as God, says Whitlock, make their own commandments — “Thou shalt not judge a mother; thou shalt not question a racial narrative.”

He reads from Judges 21:25: “Every man did what was right in his own eyes.”

“Judges 21:25 is not ancient color. It is August 2026 in Plymouth and last spring in Frisco,” he warns.

Stephen A. Smith gets ‘Thumbs Down’ award — then the black media turns on Jason Whitlock



Stephen A. Smith isn’t happy with the National Association of Black Journalists after the group presented him with the “Thumbs Down” award.

“The reality of the situation is that you don’t have facts. You have feelings. And this is where it gets a bit deep. What a few board members decided to do, no doubt egged on by a couple of people on the board who will remain nameless, but put their names up,” Smith said in response to the award.

“You can see the names there for yourself. Figure it out, along with some others. The reality is that it was a personal hit job. That’s what it was,” he added.

In the aftermath, Jemele Hill and Don Lemon commented on his award as well — but ended up calling out BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock instead of Smith.


“I have never once called Stephen A. a sellout. I’ve never called him that, and I’ve never called him a c**n or any of these other things because I don’t actually think he is one,” Hill told Lemon.

“I don’t do that, and I don’t want to do this black litmus test anyway. And so, I mean, there are some people who do fully deserve and they also embrace the title, Jason Whitlock, but that’s OK.”

“So obviously I was like, hold on, I embrace the title of sellout and c**n? What? You know, that’s just her taking a cheap shot,” Whitlock comments.

Dre Baldwin agrees, calling it the “high school lunchroom.”

“I get disappointed when I see black people talking like this. I'm sure maybe it happens in the Asian, Latin, and white communities as well, but I see it mostly in the black community that when there’s a person who is not going along with the group, you get the bandwagon effect,” he says.

“All of us are over here and you’re over there with the quote-unquote wrong opinion,” he adds.

High school seniors can't read. Jason Whitlock calls it ‘a funeral for the mind.’



In a viral social media video, teacher Darius Williams described breaking down in class after discovering that some of his high school seniors could not complete an exercise requiring them to fill in just four missing words.

“These kids are leaving high school and going to college, hopefully, and they couldn’t fill in four words. Four words. I literally broke down in the middle of class. This is only day two, and I have seniors who simply cannot read and seniors who cannot write,” the teacher, Darius Williams, said in a reel on Instagram.

“They can reason. They have the ability to defend their reasoning if it’s talking to their homeboy, but applying that to a written text, two paragraphs, and they couldn’t do it,” he added.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is disturbed, but not surprised.



“High school seniors could not fill in four words,” Whitlock says. “Not calculus, not philosophy, four words. A grown man wept on camera because the next generation cannot read. That is not a school story. That is a funeral for the mind.”

Whitlock points out that "enslaved black men and women once risked the whip, the auction block, and death for the ability to read.”

“Literacy was contraband. Freedom. A free mind started with a page you were not supposed to touch,” he says.

What slaves understood back then is something “this generation pretends not to know.”

“The man who controls your access to words controls your access to God, to law, to contracts, to your own name on a document,” Whitlock says.

“Now, too many black Americans treat reading like optional equipment. Something you outsource to a phone, a caption, a clip, or a machine that summarizes so you never sweat through a hard paragraph,” he says. “That is not progress. That is a people walking backward into dependence and calling it culture.”

“We used to bleed for the page. Now we scroll past it and get offended when a teacher cries about the wreckage,” he adds.

WNBA coach quotes Michelle Obama — then tells ‘online community’ to ‘go to hell’



After Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White preached love, grace, and integrity at a press conference following DiJonai Carrington’s flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham — she quickly reflected the opposite.

“Love will win. Grace will win. Humility will win. Kindness will win. Then the mask drops,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock comments, before playing a video of the press conference where White addressed the “online community that’s trying to create narratives that simply don’t exist.”

She accused this “community” of “trying to create a fabrication” and “distortion” of who she is and what she’s “about.”

“For those who have anything to say about the play in the last game, I didn’t see the play in real time. I went straight to a press conference,” she explained.


“I thought the play got called right. Thankfully Sophie’s okay. Was it egregious? Absolutely,” she added.

White went on to explain that she takes any suggestions that she doesn’t always have her players' backs “personally” and “ride[s] with them 10 toes down all the time.”

“The hate, the fearmongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that’s trying to hijack our league will not win,” she said, before reciting an old Michelle Obama quote, “When they go low, we go high.”

“Love will win. Grace will win. Humility will win. And kindness will win. I stand by them. I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell,” she added.

“That was the love and grace she was talking about. That was the whole production,” Whitlock comments.

"Not a game plan, not accountability. A staged crucifixion where the coach nails herself to the wood and demands you applaud the craftsmanship,” he adds.
