We live in an embrace the media debate era.
An era where the most important thing is getting eyes and ears on their network, shows, podcast and etc by any means necessary. The Uncle Jimmy segments probably should have been dropped when Whitlock left “Speak For Yourself”.
They were originally intended to be a way to take shots at Colin Kaepernick who Whitlock was not a big fan of and talked down about routinely on the show.
This particular segment was cringeworthy as Uncle Jimmy who people believe is a parody of Uncle Rukus from the Boondocks implies Watson isn’t being a man about his situation with Texans because he didn’t have a father figure in his life.
Watson’s agent David Mulugheta and Ryan Clark of ESPN called out the show hosts Marcellus Wiley and Emmanuel Acho for allowing the segment to air.
Acho replied he is just the talent and isn’t responsible for what they put on air.
Flip the pages for the segment and the back and forth.
