Boomer Esiason, who refers to Tr**P as “my dear friend”, is proving what we wrote about previously.
Sports radio needs more Black voices and hosts.
Esiason, who co-hosts the daily sports talk radio show “Boomer and Gio” in New York on WFAN (and simulcast on CBS Sports Network), has no qualms about letting everyone know who and what he supports, and remains hypocritically unapologetic about his views.
From saying the Knicks to politics aside and visit his “good friend” in the White House, yet never critiquing that same person for targeting individuals who share the same melanin as the Knicks, to today’s rant about Caitlin Clark, Esiason follows the MAGA-path of telling everyone else but themselves to keep politics and race out of sports.
In case you missed it, here is what Esiason said today about a “mistreated” Caitlin Clark during a discussion about her being bullied.
"If I were Caitlin Clark, I would seriously consider going to play overseas somewhere and get the royal treatment…she's a straight white basketball player. And she is not being treated with any sort of respect" – Boomer Esiason pic.twitter.com/zeFRdOMLVn

After suggesting Clark should play overseas, he said, “I think there’s petty jealousy, and she’s a straight, white basketball player, and she is not being treated with any sort of respect,” whined Esiason.
Oh, so now Clark is being disrespected and abused by Black and gay players in the WNBA?
Boomer’s Thursday pro-Caitlin Clark rant derives from a physical altercation involving the Phoenix Mercury’s Alyssa Thomas, who appeared to drive her fist into Clark as she was on her back on the floor.
To be fair, this isn’t the first time Clark has been “roughed up” by opponents, so the outrage by her coach and supporters is just.
But physicality is part of the game, and seeing a star get “the treatment” isn’t anything new; ask Michael Jordan about the Detroit Pistons.
Yet this isn’t about Clark; this is about the antics of Esiason and how they exemplify the need for Black voices in sports radio.
