Valuetainment - “ESPN is Changing” - Ryan Clark Fired As Network Shifts Away From Politics

00:00:00.480 Recently, our company's softball team lost the big game by one run.

00:00:04.800 Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,

00:00:07.200 winning isn't everything.

00:00:09.060 Well, Dale and I are very different.

00:00:12.740 I get early payout from Bet365.

00:00:14.680 If my team goes up big, I get paid out instantly,

00:00:17.480 even if they blow the lead later.

00:00:19.540 Sound familiar, Dale?

00:00:21.280 Thanks, Bet365.

00:00:22.920 Must be 19 or older, Ontario only.

00:00:24.420 Please play responsibly.

00:00:25.240 If you have questions or concerns about your gambling

00:00:26.660 or the gambling of someone close to you,

00:00:27.720 please go to connexontario.ca TNC Supply.

00:00:30.000 ESPN, did they all of a sudden become conservative?

00:00:33.040 What happened to ESPN? 0.88

00:00:34.060 What happened to the woke, you know, BLM, 0.57

00:00:36.960 everything being about politics?

00:00:38.480 Apparently, eventually, this guy named Bob

00:00:41.180 that, you know, has been running that organization

00:00:44.680 for a while called Disney, says,

00:00:46.760 hey, guys, no more politics.

00:00:48.560 Please, let's just talk about sports.

00:00:50.320 They fire Ryan Clark.

00:00:52.520 They fire Carl Ravitch.

00:00:55.080 I'm upset about that one.

00:00:56.980 They fire Cam Newton.

00:00:58.780 and a bunch of other guys.

00:01:00.760 Then they renew Tebow's contract, conservative.

00:01:04.320 Then they go out there and say, Pat McAfee.

00:01:08.140 There's talks of Pat McAfee getting paid $60, $65 million a year.

00:01:13.260 He's about to get that contract.

00:01:15.040 Some people are speculating, saying the reason why Pat McAfee,

00:01:18.140 why all these people are getting fired is because they're trying to save money

00:01:20.940 to pay Pat McAfee all the money.

00:01:23.620 Everyone getting fired.

00:01:24.540 And there's a very special moment between Pat McAfee and Ryan Clark.

00:01:27.680 I don't know if you've seen that one or not.

00:01:28.820 I'll find it.

00:01:29.280 I'll send it to you.

00:01:30.160 And they're saying this was the final point where they said we're done with this.

00:01:36.220 There's three other clips because of this.

00:01:38.280 But I want you to watch what Ryan Clark did.

00:01:40.260 The one thing you're not supposed to do, but he does right here.

00:01:43.880 Go for it.

00:01:44.680 This morning, are you feeling – okay, you look at A.J. Brown,

00:01:47.720 which is this number one wide receiver who got one target all night,

00:01:50.240 and then you got CeeDee Lamb.

00:01:51.600 But that's the –

00:01:52.100 When was the one target?

00:01:52.980 That's the target, though.

00:01:53.740 But I'm saying –

00:01:54.340 When was the one target?

00:01:55.060 I'm saying you could have it both ways.

00:01:56.580 54 seconds left in the game on second and 11.

00:01:59.000 It was the one target.

00:02:00.320 He runs the out route.

00:02:00.980 You wake up this morning saying A.J. Brown had a better day than C.D. Lamb?

00:02:04.520 You know what you wake up saying, though?

00:02:06.520 A.J. Brown's team is 1-0.

00:02:08.020 Of course.

00:02:08.820 I get it.

00:02:09.700 But the thing is this, though, and we shouldn't do this on TV.

00:02:15.600 And so I apologize if people think this is rude.

00:02:19.040 That's the non-player view.

00:02:20.440 Oh, stop.

00:02:21.060 No.

00:02:22.120 C.D. Lamb is –

00:02:23.020 Let me tell you why.

00:02:24.700 I'm not saying –

00:02:25.440 Schrager's a fair guy.

00:02:27.100 Ryan, don't belittle me like that.

00:02:29.700 I could come in and say, as three ex-players are saying one thing,

00:02:32.560 and give an alternative perspective that maybe CeeDee Lamb did play well.

00:02:35.880 What I need for you to do, what I need for you to do.

00:02:37.340 By the way, so that right there, you know what that means, right?

00:02:40.560 That's like, yo, we play the game.

00:02:41.780 You don't know what you're talking about.

00:02:43.200 That guy's the lead of the show, isn't he? 0.72

00:02:44.640 And then what he said about RG3's wife, because he's married to a white girl,

00:02:50.100 and he called that RG3.

00:02:51.340 And then there was another comment he made about C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young when it was like, hey, defending the other side and some unverified reporting that he did regarding an incident involving LSU's Casey, Kieran Lacey, contradicting officials.

00:03:08.620 I mean, there's a lot of stuff.

00:03:09.820 I think this is the one.

00:03:10.740 Yeah, play that clip right there.

00:03:11.660 That's the clip about men who have chose to go back to what black women deal with a lot. 0.96

00:03:18.280 from black men who have chose to date or marry outside of their race they always feel like they 0.67

00:03:25.080 have to go the extra mile to prop up that is the woman that they're married or the woman that

00:03:29.560 they're with over black women by denigrating black women i feel like we should have an opportunity

00:03:35.800 to move past that and understand that angel reese can be great in her own right as caitlyn clark is

00:03:42.520 as well caitlin clark is a likable and lovable superstar she pays homage to the stars so you

00:03:49.740 know what he's saying because rg3's wife can you type in rg3's wife you just do it on google you

00:03:55.500 can do it on google rg3's wife if i'm not mistaken is rg3 just put three next to the j rg not j rg

00:04:06.040 He's having nightmares about RG. 0.79

00:04:07.900 RG3 wife, go to images.

00:04:11.920 That's his wife.

00:04:13.320 So he's saying he married someone who's not black. 0.99

00:04:18.120 And RG3 is like, what the hell are you talking about? 0.99

00:04:20.900 What are you talking about? 0.95

00:04:21.780 He married a dime piece. 0.97

00:04:22.560 By the way, check this out. 0.57

00:04:24.880 Do you have the clip of Marcellus Wiley?

00:04:26.820 Do you have the one I sent you about Marcellus Wiley?

00:04:28.460 If you go on the text, you'll see the one with Marcellus Wiley.

00:04:31.280 Man, Ryan Clark's having a hard time here.

00:04:33.660 It happens to all of us every once in a while.

00:04:35.780 Marcellus Wiley comes out and says something,

00:04:39.860 and he says, wait a minute, what are you talking about?

00:04:43.520 Didn't you have a kid with a white girl?

00:04:46.120 Do you know Ryan Clark has a kid with a white girl?

00:04:48.240 No.

00:04:49.100 Weird.

00:04:49.760 Oh, you didn't know this?

00:04:50.740 Yeah, so Marcellus Wiley says, dude, you had a kid with a white girl.

00:04:55.560 Imagine that white daughter has to sit there 0.98

00:04:59.480 and hear the daddy saying you married outside of your room. 1.00

00:05:02.680 You got a white girl pregnant. 1.00

00:05:05.100 You got a white girl pregnant. 0.98

00:05:08.960 Tom, do you know how to spell Marcellus?

00:05:10.980 I'm trying to help him.

00:05:12.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:13.760 He needs to know how to spell Marcellus Wiley.

00:05:17.140 Marcellus Wiley.

00:05:18.480 If you type in Marcellus Wiley, you just have to see this.

00:05:20.740 Anyways, they're having this exchange.

00:05:24.520 Oscar Wilde was an author.

00:05:30.420 Oh, my God.

00:05:32.820 We could just have it.

00:05:33.880 There you go.

00:05:35.100 Okay, take that, take that, take that, put it on Twitter, take that, put it on Twitter

00:05:42.760 and go to Ryan Clark, type in Ryan Clark next to it, Ryan Clark next to it, okay, and Clark

00:05:50.640 is a, it's okay, Clark, there you go, next to it, and you will see here in a minute,

00:05:55.260 go a little bit lower, go a little bit lower with Whitlock, okay, anyways, I'll find the

00:06:00.500 clip and send it to you, the guy got a white girl pregnant and he had a white, so he's

00:06:04.620 got a daughter that's half white half black yeah and so espn the question is are they leaving are

00:06:09.380 they going to kind of going back to common sense and stop doing all this political stuff that's a

00:06:13.680 question but he said he also said i'll just add to this i know tom has a has a strong opinion on it

00:06:19.260 he said tom brady drew breeze and payton manning are not generational talents yeah he did say plain

00:06:26.420 plain and simple you don't know what you're talking about and that like listen i love the

00:06:31.120 fact that like steven a has espn he talks about sports he has a podcast that he talks about the

00:06:39.520 political stuff and all that stuff when it comes to the sports and stuff people don't want to hear

00:06:43.580 the nonsense keep it about sports and listen at the end of the day and even steven a to stick up

00:06:48.500 for steven a steven a said hey he even tried he's like yo y'all need to keep him keep uh ryan clark

00:06:54.280 but he said there's people that are up there the bigger people that are making the big decisions

00:06:57.760 that once they made their decisions, it's a wrap.

00:07:01.020 And, I mean, hopefully he gets a freaking other job somewhere else.

00:07:04.060 I think he'll be all right.

00:07:04.860 Adam, where do you have with this?

00:07:06.480 Man, rest in peace to that guy's career right there.

00:07:10.420 But Carl Ravitch, the baseball guy, Pat?

00:07:13.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:14.500 That's tough right there.

00:07:15.320 That's tough.

00:07:15.640 I agree.

00:07:16.620 I'm just saying.

00:07:17.420 I know, Tommy, you're a baseball guy.

00:07:19.020 Anyway, regarding Ryan Clark and this whole identity politics things,

00:07:23.320 is it me?

00:07:24.680 Are we just kind of over this stuff,

00:07:26.200 the end racism in the end zone like you ain't gonna end it with the touchdown dance guys

00:07:30.720 i just think america is so over the identity politics and the race and what what sex are you

00:07:36.040 the idea the gender did you mispronounce my gender misinformation like i just think american is so 0.68

00:07:43.180 over this and whether it's like the militant black dude or the trans lady that's trying to

00:07:48.720 have dudes and women and women's sports from every end of the of the spectrum i just think like are 0.91

00:07:55.040 you good at what you do are you likable do people want to rock your jersey do you put butts in seats

00:08:00.000 and do you win at the end of the day so i think america's kind of over the race baiting and

00:08:04.540 identity politics i found a clip and just i want you to watch this clip with marcellus white no

00:08:09.040 no not that one i sent you the clip if you go to your text i sent you the clip uh uh i did you get

00:08:15.740 it or no tell me if you got that there you go all right we found it marcellus wilkerson okay go ahead

00:08:24.540 play it good analyst i ain't gonna lie he he kills it but i put all that to the side but this is what

00:08:30.120 i can't get over this is what triggers me he's a race baiter but worse than a race baiter is the

00:08:37.060 type that we all grew up with that turned into that guy usually that guy got an identity issue

00:08:43.520 you know he might be mixed he might be a little light skin he may have been questioned his whole

00:08:48.300 life you know how it goes but ryan clark wants to be a race baiter when he got a white baby mama

00:08:57.060 a black and white kid and didn't want to look at everything through an all-black lens 0.88

00:09:03.440 you're literally telling your own child half of her ain't it wow and that's when i was like dog 0.53

00:09:09.940 this is just damaging to the people whether it's my people your people all people human race 1.00

00:09:16.860 culture this is just stupid i hate when people got it my wife is is biracial she's nigerian and dutch 0.99

00:09:23.820 and i boy when i met her and she was like i'm black i was like and 1.00

00:09:27.960 come on you're nigerian and dutch you ain't even like african-american your ass is african 0.98

00:09:36.700 like you know i'm just saying call it like it is you can pause it so to me listen i hope espn goes 0.99

00:09:43.740 through the evolution that they're going to go through.

00:09:46.160 And by the way, if a Ryan Clark is that interested in politics

00:09:50.760 and political issues, get into it.

00:09:52.340 Yeah, do that.

00:09:52.820 He was making $2 million.

00:09:53.640 Get into it.

00:09:54.420 And by the way, you know what I actually like about the way

00:09:56.300 Ryan Clark handled it after he got fired?

00:09:58.880 He posted a message.

00:10:00.140 This is a weird way I'm giving him credit.

00:10:01.720 If you go to his Instagram account, the day he got fired,

00:10:05.160 you know what he did?

00:10:05.780 He says, this morning I found out I'm getting fired.

00:10:08.120 I went to the gym.

00:10:09.540 I did my workout.

00:10:10.520 I did whatever I do as my usual day

00:10:14.120 and went about my business

00:10:16.060 which means

00:10:17.680 he's a doer, he's a winner

00:10:19.220 you don't make it in the NFL

00:10:20.620 go a little bit lower

00:10:23.200 I think he posted it on Exco a little bit lower

00:10:25.400 which one was stronger than his

00:10:27.400 I don't know which one it was

00:10:28.200 but he posted it that he just went to the gym

00:10:30.200 did his workout right after he got fired

00:10:32.480 which means he's got the right attitude

00:10:34.640 to move on and do his own thing

00:10:37.280 but at the same time

00:10:38.580 you know the audience is just getting a little bit too tired of this bs adam yeah no i'm so glad

00:10:44.100 that you actually gave him credit because it sounds like good he's actually good at what he

00:10:47.700 does he's a stud man he's a stud he was a great player he's a great speaker he's entertaining

00:10:53.080 but just maybe you switch it up a little bit right i'm gonna say that switch up to all the
