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?

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.

quote:
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.

When he started out he was not so bad and he was actually pretty funny on air. Success went to his head and now he is the main line. Hating Bama because they win in football. Hating Cats for winning in basketball. Hating Texas because TAMU folks give his site hits. SSDD, which is why quoting Bleacher Report or Clay Travis should be a bannable offense.
