Joe is on top of the world right now and in order to stay there he needs to shut the fuk up on social issues. You can be supportive on issues without offending people who may not agree with all his opinions. Winning some of his ill informed teammates only gets you support from those players. They don't pay the bills. Fans do. Stay the fuk away from Black Lives Matter Joe. This is a criminal organization who don't give a fuk about this country or what it stands for. Concentrate on your job because I see some room for improvement.

I think Whitlock is spot on here. Anyone that supports Black lives matter is an enemy of this country to me.

I think there's more nuance to Joe than your feeble mind can comprehend.

In typical racist rant style he uses a post about Joe to attack black athletes what a crock


What did he say that was racist? That’s part of the problem with the world today. Anyone who criticizes anything in the black community is deemed a racist. There is a huge problem in the black community with kids being raised with no father figure. Thats not a racist statement. It’s a fact.

For those that fail at reading comprehension: I stated it was a joke to get my point across. Of course you can't have 10 kids with 8 women. Reread the post and you"ll get it. Maybe not though.

Yeah I’m a little puzzled by the insinuations that his politics are distracting him from football. People think Joe Burrow, of all people, isn’t focused and isn’t putting in the work in the film room?

FWIW I don’t like his politics but I don’t think they have anything to do with his struggles so far this year.

I read through the first page of comments. Seems there are ppl on both side on this topic. Here's my 2 cent: Jason Whitlock is spot on. Burrow is swerving in the wrong lane and still has time to get back in his lane. Regardless if you like Joe or not; he is a tremendous talent and should focus on being the best he can be on the field right now. Politics have no place in the NFL or any other sports arena IMO.

This reads as a bunch of people pissed off that someone has different views than them. He’s great as long as he throws a ball but god forbid he gives his take on non-football. Even if you disagree, there is no issue with him expressing his views on things. People can have different opinions on things and express them, it’s what makes America great.

I just don't understand why athletes or celebrities would want to speak out about politics at all. No matter what you say are going to piss people off and probably drawing attention to yourself in a negative way. The only people they are going to influence are one's who are dumb enough to take political advice from a celebrity who they don't know and have nothing in common with.

We have a problem with people thinking their opinions mean more just because they can throw a football or sing.

I’m gonna blow y’all’s mind with this one.

I’ve actually got friends that I’ve known for 15 years and I have no idea what political party they support.
I actually slept last night ,not knowing.

People that I do know about their political beliefs have tried to ask me mine and if I disagree, I don’t talk to them about politics!!!! Shocking!

I still have friends .

I am surprised Whitlock didn't find a way to add LeBron to that article. Yeah RGIII and Josh Rosen would have been successful had it not been for their wokeness. They were both horrible QB's in the NFL.

The fact that he felt it necessary to bring that up absolutely shows where his mind is and the fact that he is a racist. Further racist never see racism in anything unless it's overt and obvious. Pretty sure that describes you. Can't see below the surface.

He's really not, in fact, he's simply a hack.

He couldn't make it at ESPN, couldn't make it at Fox Sports, has now been relegated to The Blaze (whatever that garbage is) to troll for MAGA clicks on topics tangentially related to sports. Very similar to Clay Travis (don't they work together?).

Don't get me wrong, you can agree with their politics in general but know what they are. The left has their version of these people too (ex: Rex Chapman, Michael Rapaport).

TL;DR, if you can only identify these clowns on the opposite side of the aisle, and not your own, you're probably an imbecile.

Lol, what are you trying to imply?
He said blm, and those who support it, are the enemy of our country. He’s exactly right.
