Summary

ESPN is on the verge of acquiring NFL Media, per reports. On this episode of "Fearless," Jason Whitlock explains why such a deal would be another insult to sports fans, who are already disrespected by athletes, leagues, team owners, and the media. Jason Barrett and Ryan Glasspiegel join Whitlock to talk about the death of sports journalism and the obvious conflicts of interest inherent in media outlets reporting on sports leagues who are their direct partners. Later on, Whitlock discusses how WNBA All-Star game viewership plummeted in the absence of Caitlin Clark and why he thinks Angel Reese will return to her factory settings — that is, mediocre play — now that making the All-Star team is behind her. It’s sure to be another energetic, edifying show! ​​Today's Sponsors: Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/fearless and use promo code FEARLESSto get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you’re already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!
