ESPN host Ryan Clark has turned the network into a complete mess with his out-of-control behavior. The former NFL player thinks he can say whatever he wants without facing real consequences. His latest meltdown came when he attacked colleague Peter Schrager on live television just for having a different opinion about football.
Clark told Schrager that disagreeing with him showed “the non-player in you.” This is the same bully tactic Clark uses every time someone challenges his wild takes. He thinks his old football career gives him the right to silence anyone who dares question his so-called expertise.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg with Clark’s disgusting behavior. Earlier this year he went after Robert Griffin III in the most personal way possible. Clark actually attacked Griffin for having an interracial marriage when they disagreed about women’s basketball players.
The hypocrisy at ESPN is absolutely stunning. When other hosts make controversial comments, the network demands their heads on a platter. But Clark gets protected by star anchor Stephen A. Smith while regular Americans would be fired immediately for far less.
Multiple ESPN employees reportedly begged the network to discipline Clark for his racist attacks. Instead of listening to their own staff, ESPN let their golden boy apologize and move on like nothing happened. This is exactly what we expect from the liberal media elite.
Clark even had the nerve to demand accountability from other people in the past. He wanted Don Imus fired for offensive comments about women’s basketball. Where is that same energy when Clark makes personal attacks about interracial families and bullies his coworkers on live TV.
ESPN claims they care about diversity and inclusion while protecting a host who uses race as a weapon. They preach about professionalism while Clark creates chaos every few months with his temper tantrums. This double standard shows everything wrong with today’s mainstream sports media.
American families deserve better than watching this divisive behavior on their television screens. Clark represents everything that has gone wrong at ESPN as they put politics and personalities ahead of actual sports coverage. It is time for real consequences before he destroys what little credibility the network has left.
