ESPN recently conducted a layoff firing number of employees and analysts receiving heavy backlash. Ryan Clark, a longtime Black former NFL safety and prominent analyst on shows like NFL Live, Get Up, and Monday Night Countdown, was among those let go, along with others such as Cam Newton, Karl Ravech, and Tom Pelissero. Clark was reportedly fired for racial reason and to cover up the backlash, according to Bobby Burack, ESPN will do something “pathetic”. ESPN will hire “anti-white” employee according to Bobby Burack Clark, a former NFL safety who had been with ESPN for over a decade and appeared regularly on NFL Live, Get Up, and Monday Night Countdown, was informed of his departure during a segment of NFL Live. He did not finish the show. The news had leaked, which forced the network to act mid-broadcast rather than on its preferred timeline. Clark later on opened up on being “fired” and not being “laid off” on the Pivot podcast. “Let me put this to bed, I wasn’t laid off. I was fired,” Clark said. “They’re using layoffs as a cover and a camouflage for what they already intended on doing… there was no cause for it,” he added. He also talked about adjustment and why he still had it coming. “What makes me a little bit sad is I did adjust who I was to try to keep my job… I knew I couldn’t respond to disrespect. I knew, for lack of a better word, I couldn’t be too Black.” Outkick writer Bobby Burack came up with a bold claim that ESPN think of doing to cover up and tackle the backlash for firing Ryan Clark. “You will see an announcement soon that is worse than Ryan Clark. And it’s all to show they “are not racist” by hiring openly anti-white people. Pathetic,” Bobby Burack wrote. Burack did not name any of the candidates he claimed to have heard about. The post frames ESPN’s potential next hires as a defensive, image-management response to criticism of Clark’s exit rather than a pure talent or programming decision. Fans Discuss the new “Anti-white” personality As ESPN was already in public scrutiny for the laying off issue and Bobby Burack’s statement on the aftermath of Ryan Clark issue has fueled the public scrutiny into a much larger scale. In Bobby Burack’s post, some have been predicting names of the “anti-white” personality and others simply just kept the backlash going on against ESPN. “Welcome back Jemele Hill !,” a user wrote. “It’s ESPN this is not suprising they are all about political propaganda not sports,” a fan commented. “Calvin Watkins or Jamelle hill?” someone predicted. “Why don’t you just say the persons name Bobby?” another fan noted. “Can’t even think of who it could be,” another user wrote. Only ESPN’s next hiring will tell whether Burack was right or wrong. But one thing is clear, Burack’s claim is not completely out of the box as Ryan Clark himself came out and talked about the racial reason being a factor in his firing.
