The current chaos in the United States following the murder of George Floyd is bringing much to light. At the very least, it’s showing normal folks just how anti-American and morally-fetid the Hollywood left really is. Though the country is reeling from racial upheaval, many of these millionaires have refused to try and de-escalate the rhetoric that has been driving anger. 

As he decided to exit the corporation of Fox Sports, former Speak For Yourself commentator, Jason Whitlock, provided Outkick the Coverage an exclusive interview to discuss his recent thoughts on all things current events. The following is a list of highlights of the conversation and brief analysis on each one.

Things can’t be too bad out there, because the invaluable Titania McGrath is writing for the New York Times. At least, I think she is. If not, there’s a critic there named Anne Hess who’s doing a creditable imitation of Titania’s hilarious imitation of an excruciatingly woke, angry, self-regarding social justice drone.

Gone With the Wind is gone from HBO Max's video library after the classic film was effectively "cancelled" in today's racial climate. On Monday, 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley wrote an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times calling for HBO Max to remove Gone With the Wind from its library because it “glorifies the antebellum south,” “ignore[s] the horrors of slavery." 

ESPN is not a political network, says its president, Jimmy Pitaro. Like heck it's not! The network has used the George Floyd story to completely go off the rails, veering far out of its lane and abandoning all pretense of sticking to sports. In a revealing Washington Post story, Ben Strauss reports ESPN has thrown its full capacity into covering the protests, through a sports lens and…

Here is the current state of the radical left. So far this election cycle, besides blaming every bad thing in the known universe on President Trump, they are asking us to defund the police after violent riots, and they demand that we are punished for saying that only women can menstruate. Seriously, lefty author J.K. Rowling has found herself condemned for insisting that only biological women…

“Hey, there's something awfwy scwewy going on awound here!” HBO Max’s reboot Looney Tunes Cartoons debuted May 27 but some notable characters were missing their iconic props. HBO Max’s reboot Looney Tunes Cartoons debuted May 27 but some notable characters were missing their iconic props.

Netflix’s infamously controversial series 13 Reasons Why has finally come to an end. In the era of coronavirus, stifling shutdowns, and terrible rioting, it’s nice that we can put at least one awful thing behind us. Sadly, the last ten episodes of the season keep pulling us back to these issues.

CW’s Roswell, New Mexico is just the show that refuses to quit. Even in the midst of a pandemic, with only two episodes left, it still has to be some of the worst leftist propaganda on a Monday night. Figures this episode also comes with one of the worst takes on Mexican “experiences” you’ll find lately.

Ah, progress! Drew Brees is the most hated man in sports for saying that he didn’t believe in taking a knee during the national anthem. Roger Goodell issued some mealy mouthed “apology” for “not listening to NFL players earlier.” Now veteran running back Adrian Petersen is predicting widespread kneeling when the NFL season begins.

There’s nothing more delusional than a multi-millionaire artist, who is known worldwide by the name ‘Queen Bey,’ lamenting her oppression in the entertainment industry. Not only has she been successful in the music industry since her debut with Destiny’s Child in 1990, but she has won the most awards for MTV Video Music Awards, BET Awards, and is the most nominated woman in Grammy history. How…

Entertainment industry idiots consistently undermine their political agendas with some of the dumbest statements and most flagrant shows of hypocrisy. Rapper Ice Cube thought he was doing a good job fighting against racism and police brutality the other day, until he kneecapped himself by posting an antisemitic image in the name of fighting racial injustice.

Charging that America was built on a lie, woke NBA coach Gregg Popovich calls the George Floyd killing a public lynching and says he's embarrassed as a white person. One of the foremost social justice warriors among professional coaches in the U.S., Popovich calls his inflammatory remarks a "teaching moment."

Non-traditional sexuality has been embraced by Billions throughout its tenure on Showtime. It did it again with this week’s implied threesome between New York State Attorney General Chuck Rhoades, Jr., his new girlfriend Cat Bryant and a woman who appears to be a prostitute. Cat is a sociology professor who favors decriminalization of prostitution, which she insists must be called “sex work,”…
