On Fox Sports 1, Jason Whitlock praised the NFL for being great to black people.
“Let me hit you with an inconvenient truth,” Whitlock said. “The NFL has been better to black people than any industry in American history. The NFL is the modern day underground railroad from poverty to prosperity for black men. Let some paint the picture that the negatives of football outweigh the positives. It’s fun for progressives to continue to root against an industry that has been very good to poor black people, providing father figures, role models, scholarships, motivation to education and generational wealth at the highest level.”
Whitlock made this comment on the show – “Speak for Yourself.”
