Jason Whitlock blasted Colin Kaepernick's anti-Fourth of July tweet that he made over the weekend, calling Independence Day a 'celebration of white supremacy.' Whitlock says Twitter needs to stop legitimizing 'uninformed' athletes like Kaepernick. Jason Whitlock, Katie Nolan Exchanging Pleasantries On Twitter by Outkick September 20, 2020, 3:18 pm updated September 20, 2020, 5:13 pm 28 Comments It would seem ESPN’s Katie Nolan is not pleased with Outkick partner and columnist Jason Whitlock. Katie Nolan Locks Her Twitter After Whitlock Drops A Bomb by Joe Kinsey September 21, 2020, 11:45 am updated September 21, 2020, 12:39 pm 12 Comments ESPN’s Katie Nolan has locked her Twitter account after Outkick’s Jason Whitlock dropped a neutron bomb after she came at him unsolicited.

ESPN TV host Katie Nolan turned her Twitter account private on Monday amid an exchange with writer Jason Whitlock.

On Sunday, Whitlock, who writes for OutKick.com, published a column about Maria Taylor. Whitlock cautioned Taylor to avoid making the career mistake of turning off sports fans by embracing victimhood. Taylor’s response to a radio host who talked about her outfit on Twitter and another radio host who questioned her All-NBA voting privileges prompted the column.

In the column about Taylor, Whitlock brought up Nolan. Whitlock took a shot at Nolan and said she benefits from her “beauty.”

“Beauty, most especially in television, has a privilege that trumps virtually all other privileges. Beauty intoxicates TV executives, bloggers and journalists, and it masks a lack of accomplishment, qualifications and skill. Beauty transformed Katie Nolan from bartender to seven-figure personality, Emmy Award-winner and the darling of aroused bloggers and TV critics willing to ignore her pedestrian humor and inability to execute live television,” Whitlock wrote about Nolan.

Whitlock even used the paragraph about Nolan when promoting his article via Twitter.

That led to a response from Nolan, though the tweet is no longer available due to her account being locked.

“you’re *this close* to making an actual point about the expectation of women to not only be good at their job but also beautiful, but actual points don’t pay the bills huh. keep this same energy next time I see you though.” Nolan wrote in response.

Whitlock then wrote a follow-up column on Monday specifically about Nolan. His focus was making the argument that Nolan benefits from a media system protecting pretty white female sports TV personalities.

Nolan may have decided she did not want to engage with Whitlock and the storyline anymore and turned her Twitter private.

Nolan, 33, hosts “Always Late with Katie Nolan” on ESPN2 and an ESPN podcast called “Sports? With Katie Nolan.” She hosted shows for FOX Sports from 2013-2017 before being hired by ESPN. Nolan won a Sports Emmy Award in 2016 for her work on “Garbage Time.”

On Monday, sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who was banned from Twitter after criticizing Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors for reportedly buying a $1.4 million home in a virtually all-white neighborhood, blasted Twitter, saying that Black Lives Matter is one of Big Tech’s “sacred cows.”

Whitlock told the Daily Mail, “BLM is one of Big Tech’s sacred cows. I’ve been harping on the fraudulence and the financial grift of BLM for years. I think Twitter has been looking for an excuse to de-platform me.”

Whitlock noted, “Twitter locked my account around 4 p.m. Friday. They said my account was locked because I revealed personal information about someone. They said I needed to remove the tweet that linked the dirt.com story about Cullors buying a house in Topanga.”

“I find it hypocritical,” Whitlock said of Cullors purchasing the $1.4 million home in Topanga Canyon in the hills of Los Angeles. “There is so much hypocrisy. She’s acting like a capitalist.”

Turning to Twitter, Whitlock asserted, “They want you to remove the tweet to start your 12-hour sentence. Why should I remove the tweet? App store for apple mac. They have already removed it. I sat back and said I’m going to do nothing, and see where this story goes.”

“I’m going to play Nelson Mandela in the Twitter jail,” he joked, adding that Twitter banning him had only given his take more publicity, pointing out it “has gone exactly how I wanted it to go.”

Last Friday, Whitlock called out Cullors, tweeting, “Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%. She’s with her people!”

When he was criticized on Twitter, he responded, “Do you even comprehend my take? She had a lot of options on where to live. She chose one of the whitest places in California. She’ll have her pick of white cops and white people to complain about. That’s a choice, bro.”

Whitlock told The Daily Mail that BLM founders, including Cullors, were “making millions of dollars off the backs of these dead black men who they wouldn’t spit on if they were on fire and alive.”

The Daily Mail pointed out, “It’s not clear if or how Cullors is paid by the organization, as its finances are not public. … BLM raised $90 million last year, the AP has reported, but it’s unclear how leaders are paid — if they are paid — because the organization’s finances are opaque, a fact that has sparked criticism, even among local BLM chapters.”

The Daily Wire reported on Sunday:

One of the founders of the far-left Black Lives Matter movement is reportedly on a “real-estate buying binge,” already purchasing four homes with a price tag totaling upwards of $3 million. Thirty-seven-year-old Patrisse Khan-Cullors “went on a real estate-buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records,” the New York Post reported Sunday.

The progressive activist was also eyeing a spot in an “ultra-exclusive” resort in the Bahamas, where the likes of musician Justin Timberlake and iconic golfer Tiger Woods both have homes.

Whitlock was not the only one who slammed Cullors for the purchase of the home in Topanga Canyon; Vallejo for Social Justice blasted, “’We’re talking generational wealth off of the deaths & struggle of Black folks here. Justice Teams Network & BLM founder paid $1.4 million dollars for a home. This past week we bought a cot for our unhoused Black elder friend to keep him off the ground.”

Post-Millennial Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo tweeted: “Cullors identifies as a communist & advocates for the abolishment of capitalism.”
