One Of Jason Whitlock’s Own Colleagues Called Him A ‘Media Whore’ For His LeBron Remarks

Jason Whitlock created quite a stir in recent days when, in response to a racially-motivated vandalism incident at LeBron James’ Los Angeles home, the FS1 personality claimed that the three-time champ had merely been “inconvenienced” because he believes his considerable wealth should render him immune to such hatred.

LeBron’s teammates and other athletes were quick to decry Whitlock’s dismissive comments, and now, one of his own colleagues, Mike Hill, has taken to Twitter to rake him over the coals for his wildly-misguided assessment of the situation.

Whitlock initially took umbrage with LeBron’s allusion to Emmett Till, a black teenager who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955, saying in exasperation that the circumstances were categorically different. But Whitlock was conveniently ignoring LeBron’s larger points that it’s important to bring these incidences to public attention and that, no matter what your status, it’s still frightening to be a black man in America.

Whitlock has manufactured an entire career on making outrageous comments, but just about everyone agrees that his views on this scenario terribly-misguided at best, and at worst, downright reckless. It remains to be seen whether his employers at Fox Sports will be moved to take some kind of action against him.
