The metamorphosis is complete.

ESPN president John Skipper has capped a whirlwind month by snatching Fox Sports’ top digital talent and longtime ESPN nemesis Jason Whitlock, just days before the launch of Fox Sports 1, sources exclusively tell The Big Lead.

This shocking development – Whitlock famously left ESPN in 2006 after an interview with this website – culminates Skipper’s master plan to define ESPN as the Worldwide Leader in original sports thought and intellect, while letting his new challenger, Fox Sports 1, go the “jockularity” route.

Whitlock actually calls out black culture more than the typical race baiter.

YAY! More of a reason not to watch ESPN! Man they are on fire lately with shitty programming. I never expect them to totally fail but good god they are sucking hard.

Yeah, people just lump most black writers in together. Whitlock is an equal opportunity offender. He just calls everyone out.
