I bet the same dudes who bitch about not wanting politics in their sports are ecstatic to watch this new network.

He will probably jump on the Biden wagon since he was a huge Obama fan boy before loving Trump

Will watch


Watch what? A bunch of political sports opinion shows? I thought that's what this board says it hates? They won't have the rights to any actual sports leagues so what's the point?

Essentially Outkick is in the process of creating its own daily sports network.


So he just took a shite on LeBatard doing this, and then announces his own a few days later?

After 18 months the only thing ESPN has that will beat him in ratings is live sports. Some of you really arent following what the majority of sports fans want






a sports television network without any actual live sports? It won't be around for longer than 18 months. It sounds like the exact thing that everyone on this board hates but because Clay Travis is doing it, it's a good thing

I looked on the desktop version and saw something in less than 5 seconds. Try scrolling left to right on the "Outkick Stories" and tell me it's not political.

Old white guys. The ones with all the money. But also the ones who are gullible and stupid and morons.

Rich morons. Got it.

def sounds like they are following the barstool model with live shows and more podcasts etc. probably with a more southern/anti woke slant.


I bet there's going to be a lot of gambling content too.

So telling old white men exactly what they want to hear within the world of sports is now going full time? Good luck with that.



Let the racism flow a-hole.

I just don't understand how people don't see right through Clay Travis' bullshite.

He's literally taking advantage of a right wing counter-cultural movement, even though he lives in LA and worked on presidential campaigns for democrats.

Gonna be hard to do when he can’t show any... sports. I guess he can talk about them, though.

It's a great idea but it won't "compete" with ESPN directly.

Unless you have hundreds of billions of dollars you cannot compete with them.
