Jason Whitlock: “Tyreek Hill gets cuffed and detained before the game driving into the stadium somewhere close where his teammates tried to come to his rescue and some of them got briefly detained, including Calais Campbell. People are looking for the next 'George Floyd', and that’s why I think people are making a big deal out of what happened to Tyreek Hill. I don’t see this as any different to what happened to Scottie Scheffler before the PGA Championship in Kentucky just in May. It’s no different, but because he's Black and because he’s a professional football player, the usual suspects have jumped on Tyreek Hill.
Jemele Hill, let's start with her. I mean, this is incredible – Tyreek Hill gets briefly detained, cuffed, put on the ground, gets to go on and play the football game, the Dolphins win, Tyreek catches for 130 yards, and Jemele Hill somehow connects this to Stephen Ross, the owner. She tweets out: ‘A reminder that Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a huge Donald Trump supporter. The same Trump who supports giving all police immunity from prosecution. Do with that what you will.’
They’re trying to immediately turn this into a political issue. There's no authenticity here, there’s no fairness here. It’s like ‘WE GOT OUR GEORGE FLOYD! WE CAN USE THIS! AMERICA IS ALL RACIST BECAUSE TYREEK HILL GOT CUFFED BRIEFLY!’... I like Tyreek Hill as a football player, I really do, but he’s had domestic violence issues. He’s the most irresponsible professional athlete in terms of condom usage that perhaps we’ve ever seen. You can’t be more irresponsible than Tyreek Hill and everybody is jumping to the conclusion ‘WELL, THERE’S NO WAY TYREEK HILL DID ANYTHING WRONG!’... How??"
Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV's Fearless discuss the developing incident Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill had with Miami police on Sunday, as Whitlock calls out media members who are using Hill's brief detainment as symbolism towards more ominous discussions around racism.
Whitlock says Hill's detainment was no different than pro golfer Scottie Scheffler's earlier this year, but says that Scheffler's skin color didn't produce the juicy narrative that the mainstream media can run with when it comes to stirring up racially charged incidents involving police.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock points to Hill's lengthy history of nefarious off-field incidents, including domestic violence and child abuse, and wonders why the media is blindly defending the All-Pro wide receiver with a track record of poor decisions even before all the details of the incident have been established.
