Clay Travis: Russell Westbrook fight, Le’Veon Bell, PAC 12 commish's $7500 suite, admissions scandal

On Outkick the Show, Clay Travis discussed last night’s NBA incident in Utah involving Oklahoma City Thunder player Russell Westbrook and a Utah Jazz fan. During the game, a fan made a comment that infuriated Westbrook and the two had a verbal exchange that was filmed and has gone viral. Clay mentioned how the intention of the fan’s comments and Westbrook’s interpretation appear to be very different. Westbrook claimed the comment was racist, while Clay Travis believes it was sexual in nature. An article released by ESPN shared a transcript of the exchange. The fan made a reference about Westbrook needing to be “on his knees.” The article also shared Westbrook’s threat of violence to the fan and his wife. NBA commissioner Adam Silver, said Travis, has a delicate situation on his hands. Clay’s solution is to fine Westbrook and suspend the fan from attending games for a period of time.

Clay Travis continued by saying Pittsburgh Steeler Le’Veon Bell’s story is a fascinating one. Bell claims he is underpaid and decided to not show up for work last season. Because of this, said Travis, Bell doesn’t seem to be an attractive hire by the other teams in the NFL. Clay believes joining the Jets might ultimately be a better opportunity for Bell than with the Ravens. The running back position appears to have undergone a devaluation and Bell’s timing might not be optimal, said Travis. It seems Bell’s holdout might prove to be an expensive one.

Clay Travis also discussed former Full House cast members Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin involvement in a major college admissions scandal. It appears parents have been illegally purchasing opportunities for their children to attend prestigious universities via the athletic departments. The FBI has conducted an investigation and a press conference was held today.

Finally, Clay Travis mentioned how PAC 12 commissioner Larry Scott’s decision to stay in a $7,500 suite in Vegas has become a news story and has prompted quite a reaction on social media. Clay is questioning the newsworthiness of the story, surmising that the hotel has either “comped” or provided the suite at a discount for business purposes. This is a common practice, said Travis, and the outrage on social media platforms is probably unnecessary.
