JASON WHITLOCK
A very wise man, William “Smokey” Robinson once said, “Here we go again, marching head on into love, ignoring the detour signs, far past the point of no return.”
We sometimes just love to hear ourselves talk. However, this is not one of those times.
Shortly after Spain defeated Argentina to claim the 2026 World Cup, Oliver Salt posted this beauty on the Internet: “Samuel L. Jackson calls Argentina ‘racist’ in bizarre social media meltdown over World Cup final.” “Samuel L. Jackson sparked outrage on Sunday night (July 19) by accusing Argentina of being ‘historically racist’ after the World Cup final. In the wake of Argentina’s 1-0 extra-time loss to Spain, the actor reshared a post from SEC Black Alumni Network onto his Instagram story, which had urged Black soccer fans to not support the South American country in the buildup to the final. Alongside an AI-generated photo of what appears to be his character from the 2012 movie ‘Django Unchained’ in an Argentina jersey, the post reads: ‘Dear Black People… Please do not cheer or root for Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup.'”
I have admired Samuel L. Jackson not for months or years but for decades, and I agree with the effort that he has made in the fight against racism. However, when many folks checked their bank accounts the day after the World Cup was over, the barn door of their bank accounts were left slightly ajar and when they dared to a peek inside of those accounts their biggest fears had come to pass: their most valuable dollars or crypto bucks had already been spent on the “Cup” and those “duckets” fled like thoroughbreds far down the road heading toward Churchill Downs with a bucket of oats, waiting. Like the Ohio Players might say: “Money gone.” Too late to protest.
Why would anyone in their right mind or with a thimble full of brain matter waste their time or money commenting about racism in soccer or any other sport? I must admit wholeheartedly that I may be on occasion a member of the choir singing in the key of ZzzQuil. However, I may sometimes be a part of the sportswriting community that may be continuing to be entirely or partially asleep when it comes to identifying and deciphering the core values of “ethnic insensitivity,” but heck, at least I try. Now read this: the legendary Samuel L. Jackson portrayed the character of Stephen, the perfect “Uncle Tom” caricature, not character, in the Quentin Tarantino slave emancipating cinema thriller, “Django.”
So, it may be often said that, “life imitates art or art imitates life,” or didda dadee, dadee didda or whatever….
Please allow me to cut to the chase. There are also times that people may resemble and take on characters from cinema that may have leaped from the screen and the following person that I am going to discuss with you appears to be one of those individuals.
Jason Whitlock, a pseudo-sports journalist, “intellectual shyster,” would have been completely equipped to be the understudy of Samuel L. Jackson to play “Stephen” in the movie “Django,” you know, just in case Samuel L. might have been injured in a stunt. As a matter-of-fact, some even argue that Whitlock may have even portrayed the character more realistically just because Whitlock is in fact, an authentic, real live breathing and no-holds-barred “Calvin,” in the flesh.
ChatGPT provides an abbreviated bio of Jason Whitlock. “Jason Whitlock is an American sports journalist, columnist, podcaster, and culture commentator known for his outspoken, often controversial voice in sports media. Born April 27, 1967, in Indianapolis, Indiana, he played Division I football as an offensive lineman at Ball State University before beginning his journalism career.”
Some people swear that Whitlock may have left remnants of a few body parts back at “Ball State.”
On November 25, 2025, Sami Haider posted an article on msn.com: “‘I Want Him To Flop:’ Jason Whitlock Says Shedeur Sanders Sends ‘Horrible Message’ To Kids.”
Next is a an excerpt from that article.
“Shedeur Sanders celebrated his first NFL victory as the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback in Week 12. The rookie led the Browns to a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. His performance included 209 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception. However, controversial analyst Jason Whitlock wasn’t impressed with how Sanders acted after the historic debut victory at all. ‘Shedeur Sanders mimicked the exact same behavior his father demonstrated after Colorado beat TCU three years ago. Prime Sexuals mimicked the exact same behavior they showed after Colorado beat TCU three years ago. When you don’t learn from history, you repeat it,’ said Whitlock. On his podcast, Whitlock made harsh comments about Deion Sanders’ parenting style. He said Deion’s parenting resulted in a ‘juvenile’ son who doesn’t know how to act.
Whitlock also said that Sanders is a perfect example of “entitlement run amok” and “clownish behavior.” Remember, for centuries people of color have on many occasions been depicted as buffoons and clowns.
Whitlock has learned from experience that if you behave like a good boy, you will be rewarded. Not receiving an award for what you may have accomplished but rewarded for turning in the criminal on the wanted poster. Anything of substance that Jason Whitlock may have accomplished was not because of pure talent. It has always come to pass because of a combination of society sanctioning his behavior as well as what might have written.
Shedeur Sanders not only is blessed with an ultra-wealthy father who came from across the tracks, his NFL Hall-of-Famer father Deion Sanders has made enough money to buy the railroad, trains and the tracks that the trains that run on those tracks. It has been shared by many and disputed by few that Jason Whitlock allegedly has a recurring order for Chapstick because his lips may be dried out from kissing a few MAGA folks where the sun doesn’t dare to shine, you digg…
I may be a bit drowsy, but I am by no means in a coma. Folks like Jason Whitlock are on intellectual, cultural and moral life support. Hey Jason, before I go, I have a message for you. Many journalists, dead or alive, just might say: “We misses you, like we misses a rock in our shoes.”
