The article is actually very on point. Worth the read.
quote:

Kobe Bryant said there was no place in the NBA for Donald Sterling. The mob cheered his taking a stand and demanded blood. Evidently forgetting that Kobe Bryant allegedly raped a woman in Colorado. He played through the pre-trail hearings in that case and then bought off his accuser, apologizing to her in the process. That's a pretty serious transgression, right? It's an actual action. Yet if Donald Sterling had to choose whether to be accused of rape and buy off his alleged victim or caught on tape making a racist statement, he'd pick being accused of rape. How crazy is that?

Who is Clay Travis and why is he so hated?

The article was pretty accurate.

quote:

You get in more trouble for a Tweet about men kissing on a sports television show than you do for allegedly knocking out your girlfriend and being charged with domestic assault?

So to play pro sports you have to check your opinions at the door unless they are the same opinions as the league? And if your opnion differs with the league you'll be punished more severely for that than you will if you break actual crimes.

Thats actually pretty spot on. The documented fact that it is a bigger deal to be a racist than a rapist, thief, abuser of women, etc. in the world of sports and entertainment is troubling.

I like Clay Travis because everyone hates him and nobody can articulate why.

Most people claim he's a liar, which is funny considering he largely writes tongue-in-cheek blog-type articles without any investigative claims.
