    Joe Burrow’s ex-teammate goes off at Ryan Clark for using “skin color” to land hot takes as ESPN cuts ex-safety

    AdminBy No Comments3 Mins Read0 Views


    Ryan Clark’s exit from ESPN has become the big NFL news story in the 11th hour before training camps open up across the country. In his time, Clark has spewed countless opinions and made plenty of enemies in the process. One of Joe Burrow’s former college teammates stepped forward to give his own opinion on the talking head.

    In a post on X on Wednesday, former LSU pass rusher Breiden Fehoko accused Clark of using a specific type of engagement bait. The comments were in response to a post that proclaimed that fewer former athletes would improve the media industry.

    “We need less race baitors,” he posted. “Nothing wrong with having a former athletes sports opinion but Ryan Clark and co feel they can’t get a point across without saying it’s because of skin color.”

    Clark was allegedly told of his termination with ESPN in the middle of taping a show, essentially as soon as he stepped out of frame. Rumors have suggested that a leak forced ESPN to beat it to the punch. More rumors have suggested that the head of ESPN was behind the leak.

    Despite having the camera taken away by ESPN, Clark still owns a megaphone with plenty of reach. The former Pittsburgh Steelers player posted an update on his situation on Thursday on X. The post included a written message and a video clip of himself working out.

    “Back in AZ getting the work in… Last time I was here, I still had my day job,” he posted. “That day was full of the things I love most. I trained my son and a group of DBs, got my own work in—Dilly Dallies and all—and made a Target run for a creator light so I’d have a setup for NFL Live with my favorite people.

    “It’s wild how fast life can change. Grateful for every step, because the work always has a way of meeting the opportunity. 🙏🏾”

    With the season on the doorstep, Ben Roethlisberger’s former teammate will have a minute window to fit in a job search before he risks missing one of the biggest NFL windows of the year. If he doesn’t sign with a conventional network in time, Clark will have the opportunity to lean on the avenues of work he has cultivated on the side, such as “The Pivot.”
