NBA Hong Kong, Derrick Henry, Dak, NYT on ESPN racism, Bari Weiss

On today’s Outkick the Show, Clay Travis shared the most recent and underreported positive news on the coronavirus front.

Clay Travis then shared how the coronabros, led by Darren Rovell, continue to spend their waking hours lobbying for the end of college football because all of the other major sports in America have decided to actually look at the data and get back on the field.

Clay Travis also commented on the NBA and their ongoing personalized jersey saga. “The NBA will now allow you to buy NBA jerseys with #FreeHongKong on them. Unfortunately, the NBA will not let players wear them because if they did they would have to defy their Chinese overlords in Beijing who are modern day Nazis.”

Clay Travis then discussed Derrick Henry’s contract situation, with reports saying his contract extension with the Tennessee Titans will probably not take place ahead of the deadline this season. “Derrick Henry is going to make $10.7M this year but is not going to get a new contract. I don’t blame the Titans for this because you don’t want to overpay a running back even though he has been phenomenal.”

Clay Travis went on to share the most recent developments regarding the Dak Prescott contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys. “It appears that Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are not going agree on a deal this year. I wouldn’t blame him at all if he held out after this year or if he insisted on becoming an unrestricted free agent. I also wouldn’t want to give him that if I were the Cowboys.”

Clay Travis talked about the New York Times article slamming ESPN for their “racism,” which led to their panic and subsequent hiring of Colin Kaepernick. “I wish ESPN would have stood their ground instead of paying blood money to Colin Kaepernick to prove they weren’t racist. There was no evidence in the New York Times article that they had done anything wrong.”

Clay Travis continued by sharing his thoughts about Bari Weiss and her revealing resignation letter to the New York Times. Clay praised her for speaking out against the newspaper. “New York Times columnist Bari Weiss resigned with a blistering farewell letter that called out the paper for becoming exactly what it claims to hate. It was incredible and I encourage all of you to go and read it.”

Clay Travis concluded by sharing the skyrocketing murder rate in cities with the most protests due to their efforts to defund the police in their communities. “The murder rate is skyrocketing in cities where protests were the most aggressive and active in the country. Do you know why? Because they defunded the police! Everyone with a functional brain knew this was going to happen. Police save lives.”
