Angel Reese TRADED — but Chicago Sky isn’t being honest about why, Jason Whitlock says
On April 6, the WNBA’s Chicago Sky announced that it traded power forward Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for two first-round draft picks.
According to the team’s statement, the reason for the trade was “roster balance.”
But BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t buying it.
On this episode of “Fearless,” he unveils the real reason Reese was chopped after just two years with the Sky.
“I find it odd that the Chicago Sky would jettison her after just two years. I think that speaks to what a headache she was in Chicago,” Whitlock tells his panel — Jay Skapinac, Steve Kim, and Maurice from “Keep the Vision.”
“Teammates didn’t want to play with her; coaches couldn’t corral her. She was out there doing her double-double routine while the Chicago Sky were actually trying to win games or run an offense, and Angel Reese was just out there chasing stats,” he continues.
He asks the panel: “Do you think Angel Reese will adjust her approach, attitude, and style of play?”
“No, no, no, and no,” is Steve Kim’s honest response.
To Reese’s new Dream teammates, he warns, “Get ready to stick your hands out like this and never get the ball because she’s going to get the rebound, get another rebound, get another rebound, another rebound, and another rebound.”
Skapinac agrees: “She can barely — barely — make a layup, and in fact, she doesn’t make layups most of the time.”
“And Jason, I’m with you,” he continues. “She is going to be the locker-room team cancer.
“There’s never been a team — at Maryland, at LSU, and the Chicago Sky — where she didn’t have some sort of locker-room problem with her teammates. People don’t enjoy playing with her,” Whitlock says.
He does believe, however, that Reese may genuinely improve her game with the Atlanta Dream because she finally has the chance to potentially dunk on Caitlin Clark.
“She’s being offered a chance to play on a team that’s a championship-caliber team, and if she can get a WNBA championship before Caitlin Clark, that’s really going to enhance her brand, give her some standing around the league,” he says, “and I think that opportunity may for a short-term bring out the best in Angel Reese.”

Leslie Jones brainwashed? Actress likens marriage to ‘legalized slavery.’
Leslie Jones is not happy with the institution of marriage, and she made that clear in a recent interview with YouTuber Ziwe — where she likened marriage to “legalized slavery.”
When pressed on her stance, Jones doubled down, warning young people against getting married and comparing traditional expectations of wives to oppression.
“I think marriage is legalized slavery,” Jones told Ziwe.
When the interviewer pushed back, Jones responded, “If he is expecting you to be a trad wife, he might as well pull out a whip and a chain.”
“There are young people watching who might be wanting to get married. What would you say to them?” the interviewer then asked.
“Don’t,” Jones replied.
Shemeka Michelle tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony” that Jones’ position is not born of a healthy mindset.
“I think this is silly. She’s 58 years old, and it really bothers me when we have old women who are just bitter and angry and never been married, alone. She never had children. She wants this same bitterness and anger for young people, saying, ‘Never get married,’” Michelle says.
“How can you even liken marriage to slavery? Marriage is something that God ordained. It’s why he created woman, because man wasn’t supposed to be alone. The fact that she likens it to slavery is just her own bitterness,” she continues.
“She has some residual bitterness for not being chosen,” she adds.
Whitlock couldn’t agree with Michelle more.
“Calling marriage slavery when it’s actually the greatest tool in the pursuit of holiness, that’s what really bothers me,” he agrees.
Michelle points out that Jones’ view of marriage is based on those who enter marriage for the wrong reasons.
“For Leslie to say that, I just feel like she’s never really stepped back and taken a look at herself beyond her physical appearance. But to say, ‘How can I change? How can I be a good wife?’ Because there are a lot of women who just enter marriage for the wrong reason,” Michelle explains.
“They want the big wedding. They want the nice ring. They want to be able to think that they’ll just get to sit on the couch and eat bonbons. They’re not looking at it from an act of service and how I can be a good wife. There are a lot of women who want to get married, but there aren’t a lot who want to be wives,” she continues.
“And this is clear from the way she likens it to slavery. She just has the wrong mindset about it,” she adds.

Why is ESPN ignoring the ‘BIGGEST story going on in sports’?
Jaden Ivey, a former No. 5 overall pick by the Detroit Pistons in 2022 who was traded to the Chicago Bulls in early February 2026, faced backlash after he went live multiple times on Instagram, sharing extended discussions about his Christian faith, including criticism that the NBA’s Pride Month promotions celebrate “unrighteousness.”
On March 30, the Bulls waived him, citing “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Despite this being “the biggest story going on in sports,” ESPN has largely turned a blind eye to it, says “Fearless” host Jason Whitlock.
“I had my guys … give me a full report on how ESPN covered Jaden Ivey getting waived by the Chicago Bulls for speaking against the LGBTQ alphabet mafia, and ESPN bent over backwards ignoring this story,” Whitlock says.
He calls out the glaring double standards.
“If some lesbian woman had been kicked out of the WNBA for any reason, … ESPN would have endless segments and shows talking about it,” he says.
As a Christian with conservative views on gender and marriage, Ivey, Whitlock argues, “is poison for [ESPN].”
Despite claiming to be sports journalism, ESPN, he explains, “is not interested in the truth” but rather is dedicated to pushing the progressive LGBTQ+ agenda.
Stephen A. Smith, Whitlock argues, is a key component in this agenda-driven network.
“There’s a reason why they installed Stephen A. Smith — a pathological liar — at the top of ESPN. That’s what you do when you have no interest in exploring the truth,” he says.
ESPN is “supposed to be the ‘worldwide [leader] in sports,”’ he continues, and yet it’s intentionally ignoring “the biggest story going on in sports” because it doesn’t align with the pro-LGBTQ+ agenda.
Smith did “a small little one-on-one thing where he said nothing,” and “‘NBA Today’ with Malika Andrews — they didn’t have a full-blown discussion on it; they read a little news clip and just tried to move on,” Whitlock criticizes.
“They don’t want to have this discussion [about Jaden Ivey] because this discussion leads someplace ESPN, Disney, and Bob Iger don’t want this discussion to go.”

Ravens’ owner enrages fans over ‘Lamar has no power’ bombshell — but Jason Whitlock reads between the lines
On Monday at their end-of-season media conference, Baltimore Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti made statements about the team’s quarterback Lamar Jackson that deeply upset fans and NFL commentators.
When asked whether Lamar Jackson was consulted before head coach John Harbaugh was fired, Bisciotti said that while he had spoken with Lamar, whom he described as “nonconfrontational,” he didn’t play an “outsized part” in the decision.
He also said that when it comes to hiring a new head coach, Jackson has “a lot of say, but he has no power.”
“Let me translate that for you,” says BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock. “What he’s saying is: Lamar Jackson is not a leader.”
“It’s not that leaders look for confrontation, but they’re not afraid of confrontation. They don’t avoid confrontation. They don’t avoid conflict. They settle conflict. … That’s not Lamar Jackson,” he says.
“[Jackson] knows what he can actually do, and that’s play quarterback, make enough plays with his arms and feet to be an exceptional quarterback, but that’s it. He’s not a leader. They don’t have the traditional quarterback leadership with Lamar Jackson.”
The fans and critics who have complained about Jackson’s lack of power when it comes to team decisions clearly don’t understand this about him, says Jason. But Bisciotti “[knows] exactly who Lamar Jackson is” — not a “business mogul who we need to be conferring with before making business decisions” but an “overgrown [child].”
Part of Jackson’s growing up journey needs to involve “[keeping] his mama out of his business,” says Jason. Jackson’s mother, Felicia, has operated as his manager since his NFL debut and to this day plays a central role in his contract negotiations.
Jason warns that if she gets “gassed up by the idiots on ESPN and other places that talk about ‘player empowerment’ and ‘Lamar must have influence,”’ she’s going to create major problems between her son and Steve Bisciotti.
If Jackson were anything like former Ravens’ heart-and-soul leaders Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, it’d be a different story.
“Steve Bisciotti makes it crystal clear we don’t have a Ray Lewis situation here with Lamar Jackson. We have a great quarterback who likes to play video games, who can’t stay healthy for 17 games, particularly now as he ages and takes more hits. We want to keep this quarterback, but we’re not going to treat him like he’s Ray Lewis or Ed Reed,” says Jason.

Renee Good’s shooting won’t spark a ‘George Floyd 2.0’ — here’s why
Yesterday, in south Minneapolis, 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during a large-scale federal immigration enforcement operation. Good allegedly weaponized her SUV in an attempt to ram and run over the agent who shot her.
President Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem have framed the officer’s actions as self-defense, while Democrat officials, most notably Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, have framed the incident as the unjustified and reckless killing of an innocent observer. They, as well as other Democrat officials, have publicly claimed that Good was merely trying to drive away, even though video footage captures the ICE agents being propelled backward from the impact of Good’s vehicle.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says it’s clear Democrats are hoping to turn this into a “George Floyd 2.0.” On this episode of “Jason Whitlock Harmony,” Whitlock and contributors Shemeka Michelle, Dre Baldwin, and Virgil Walker explain why their plan is bound to fail.
Shemeka says it’s unlikely that Good’s death will be as politically profitable as Floyd’s. For one, Good is a “white woman,” she says, meaning her race automatically disqualifies her from being the ideal victim the left seeks to push its social justice wars.
“Number two, this happened during the dead of winter. I don’t know how many black people they’re going to get to go out and be in the streets for long periods of time,” she adds, alluding to the orchestrated, heavily funded, not-at-all grassroots movement that was BLM.
Whitlock speculates that if Good had been a black woman, a George Floyd 2.0 would still be an impossibility because the officer — out of fear of vicious backlash — would likely have refrained from shooting.
But Baldwin disagrees. “I think the ICE agent probably still would’ve shot had it been a black woman. I still don’t think it would be as big of a deal as George Floyd because George Floyd, if you looked at the video (just the 90 second clip that came out), he appeared completely innocent and not a threat,” he counters, “whereas this woman … was behind the wheel of a vehicle. … [Good] was playing offense in some way.”
Walker, however, notes that recent studies indicate that law enforcement is less likely to use deadly force when the perpetrator is black. Had Good been black, he thinks there might have been at least “a delay in response” from the shooting officer.
“At the end of the day, I think legally speaking, what prosecutors are going to be looking at, what people are going to be trying to determine is: At the time that the officer pulled the trigger, was the vehicle aiming at him in such a way that he would be directly hit? That’s the sliver that everybody is trying to figure out,” he adds.
In regard to the incident being escalated into a George Floyd 2.0, Walker says he highly doubts Good’s case has the makings of a BLM-level movement.

Whitlock called it: Harbaugh fired ONE day after he predicted it — and he says Mike Tomlin is next
Yesterday, John Harbaugh — longtime head coach of the Baltimore Ravens — was fired, ending his 18-year tenure with the team. The decision came just two days after the Ravens finished the 2025 season with an 8-9 record, missing the playoffs following a 26-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18, where a missed field goal as time expired cost them the AFC North title.
In the two days between the Ravens’ season ender and Harbaugh’s firing, Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV’s resident NFL expert, predicted this would happen. He argued the game-ending play — where star running back Derrick Henry sat the bench while Lamar Jackson took a knee, forcing the team’s rookie kicker to attempt (and miss) a field goal — was a “fireable offense” for Harbaugh.
One day later, the team issued an official statement, confirmed by owner Steve Bisciotti, that the longtime coach had been fired.
On this episode of “Fearless,” Whitlock addresses the shocking news and explains the broader implications.
“[Harbaugh] and Lamar Jackson popularized the whole RPO offense that has overtaken the National Football League,” Whitlock says, calling the dynamic duo “the face of the run-pass option offense.”
“And this is the thanks [Harbaugh] gets? He gets fired because … Tyler Loop misses a kick? He gets fired … in a year where Lamar Jackson was injured and missed 4 to 5, 6 games?” he asks, stunned.
Whitlock says that according to reports he’s read, “The split wasn’t about John Harbaugh; it was about John Harbaugh’s loyalty to Todd Monken, the offensive coordinator.” Apparently, the Ravens wanted to fire Monken, but Harbaugh refused.
“According to the reports, Lamar Jackson had no problem … with John Harbaugh. His problem was with the OC,” Whitlock explains.
The next layer of Harbaugh’s firing is even more important, however.
“Harbaugh getting fired puts incredible pressure on [Pittsburgh Steelers head coach] Mike Tomlin,” Whitlock says.
“If John Harbaugh can get fired with that record and what he and Lamar Jackson have brought to the forefront with the RPO offense, Mike Tomlin has to be on the clock — has to be.”
“The pressure now switches to Tomlin,” he says, referring to the Steelers’ upcoming playoff game against the Houston Texans.
“The pressure on Mike Tomlin is now intensified incredibly. How is Mike Tomlin going to survive if he loses to the Houston Texans? If you can fire John Harbaugh, you can fire anybody,” he says.

Odell Beckham Jr. ROASTED for $100 million complaint — Whitlock calls ‘old, broke joke’ a byproduct of matriarchy
Odell Beckham Jr. is being roasted online by fellow athletes and other NFL personalities for a resurfaced video that went viral over Thanksgiving weekend.
In October 2024 on “The Pivot” podcast with former NFL players Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder, OBJ made a comment about money that many interpreted as tone-deaf, given the majority of Americans are struggling with the rising cost of living.
In the clip, he says, “Bro, you give somebody a five-year $100 million contract, right? What is it really? It’s five years for $60 [million]. You’re getting taxed. Do the math. That’s $12 [million] a year, you know, that you have to spend, use, save, invest, flaunt, like whatever.”
“Just being real. I’ma buy a car. I’ma get my mom a house. Everything costs money. So if you spending $4 million a year, that’s really $40 million over five years — $8 [million] a year — and now you start breaking down the numbers, it’s, like, that’s a five-year span of where you’re getting $8 million. Can you make that last forever?” he continued, adding that people who “ain’t us” couldn’t possibly understand this kind of struggle.
And the response online was essentially: You’re right — we can’t understand your luxury problem of an eight-figure salary.
Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV host of “Fearless,” says OBJ’s real problem is the black culture that’s conditioned him to think that any pushback on his financially “irresponsible behavior” is just racism or white folks selling out black excellence.
“What he’s basically saying is, like, ‘Hey, white people can’t relate. They don’t get it — all the pressure that we’re under and … all the people we have to help,”’ Whitlock translates.
Whitlock — who grew up legitimately poor, spent years grinding to achieve financial success, and had to assume financial responsibility for both his mother and grandmother at a young age — says he knows “the pressure that OBJ is talking about.”
But this kind of pressure isn’t unique to black people. Whitlock says he’s seen his “adoptive family,” who’s white, navigate the same scenario of having money and feeling obligated to help out struggling friends and family.
The pushback OBJ has received for his comments sparked some defensiveness. On December 2, the free agent tweeted:
Whitlock says OBJ’s inability to receive criticism is a result of the “feminized matriarchal culture” of “excuses and delusion” he exists in.
When this is your context, “you end up embracing a lifestyle and an image that will make you [an] old, broke joke — and that’s what OBJ is,” he says.

Former NFL quarterback explains what’s wrong with Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence, and Jalen Hurts
Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV host of “Fearless,” and former Buccaneers quarterback Shaun King have put three high-profile quarterbacks on the operating table this year: Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, and Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts.
The prognosis from disgruntled fans isn’t good. Jackson fails to ignite a stagnant offense and is injury-prone; Lawrence has an embarrassing completion rate, especially considering his $275M contract; and Hurts plays scared in the pocket, underutilizing his star receivers downfield.
King lays bare what’s really going on with each player.
Lamar Jackson
Despite the rumors that Jackson is on a permanent decline, King says he’s likely just struggling with hesitancy after a string of injuries.
Right now, it looks like he’s “unwilling to use his athleticism, which makes me think that he’s trying to guard against further injuring whatever his ailment is,” he tells Jason.
But given the superstar’s “track record of success” — two MVP awards, two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and the best dual-threat stats in NFL history — we need to “give him the benefit of the doubt.”
“If this persists into next year, I think we can circle back around to this topic,” King concludes.
Trevor Lawrence
King is far less forgiving of the Jaguars’ quarterback.
“Has never been held accountable for his deficiencies. Incubated at Clemson. Not exposed to any of the criticism or ridicule. … Got the big contract way too early,” he condemns, accusing Lawrence of being a coach killer.
“He’s a very frenetically wired player, and I don’t think you can play that position if you can’t be calm when it’s chaotic,” he says.
King believes that Lawrence, who he argues is over-reliant on his raw talent, has never been properly coached. “Nobody’s held him accountable for some of the fundamental flaws he has, some of the bad decisions he makes — like, really holding his feet to the fire. … He’s never been faced with the threat of being benched for his deficiencies.”
If Lawrence gets a coach willing to “get after him,” we may yet see the QB rise to true stardom.
Jalen Hurts
“I think [Hurts] might be the most underappreciated player in the National Football League,” King says.
Unlike legends like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady — who were able to master their system under the same coaches for over a decade — Hurts has never had that kind of stability.
“Jalen Hurts has changed coordinators the last four years,” meaning he’s “[spent] every off season learning a new system as opposed to focusing on fixing some of [his] deficiencies,” King explains.
And despite this lack of continuity, he’s still one of the league’s most successful and celebrated quarterbacks.
“I don’t think he gets enough credit,” King says. “Is he a finished product? Absolutely no. I would love to see what Jalen Hurts could do from a development standpoint if Philly could finally give him continuity.”

Michelle Obama demands ‘education’ on black beauty
We are born with an intrinsic ability to recognize beauty, be it a sunset, a piece of art, or a fellow human being. The second our eyes behold something beautiful, we can’t help but stop and admire. No one teaches us to react this way; it just happens naturally.
Michelle Obama, however, argues otherwise. On a November 12 podcast episode titled “The Power of Hair: Identity, Legacy & Black Womanhood,” the former first lady posited that the world needs to be taught how to appreciate black beauty in particular.
The episode, which featured Cosmopolitan beauty editor Julee Wilson, actor and producer Marsai Martin, and stylist and founder of Esthetics Salon Yene Damtew, was part of the promotional content for Michelle’s new book, “The Look” — a glossy vanity project that repackages the same grievance-laden identity politics she’s been peddling for years under the guise of empowerment and joy.
After declaring that “there isn’t a standard of beauty” and that what we see featured in magazines is merely “taste” and not beauty, she stressed the need “to start educating people about all kinds of beauty.”
“Our beauty is so powerful and so unique that it is worthy of the conversation and it’s worthy of demanding the respect that we’re owed for who we are and what we offer to the world,” she added.
“I didn’t need an education on [beauty]. I can remember at a very early, early age the ability [to recognize], ‘Oh, that’s a beautiful woman; that’s a handsome man,”’ counters Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV host of “Fearless.”
“Fearless” contributor Shemeka Michelle agrees. “You don’t have to teach about beauty — it just is. Michelle sounds so silly, and every time we turn around, here she comes, just another round in the victim Olympics.”
Contrary to Michelle’s belief, objective beauty is real, but “attitude,” Jason argues, can certainly go a long way in the beauty department. Kindness, confidence, faith in Christ — these are all beautifiers, he says.
Unfortunately, many women, he says, adopt the kind of attitude that detracts from the natural beauty they possess. “That’s this feminism that many black women and girlbosses have attached themselves to,” he says. “It erases a lot of their beauty. That bitterness and anger just is not attractive.”
“When you’re sitting around and you’re a multimillionaire and the world has kissed your butt and … then you’re still angry and whining and complaining and demonizing America, it’s just very unattractive,” he says.
Jason and Shemeka both agree that Melania Trump, with her timeless poise and quiet grace, is a far better example of beauty than Michelle Obama will ever be.

Hot take: Michael Jordan’s new show is HURTING the NBA
While Jason Whitlock respects and celebrates Michael Jordan, he thinks the six-time NBA champion is actually doing more harm than good to the league right now. “Jordan is the black shadow that hovers over the NBA like a dark cloud, and he’s a constant reminder of how things suck right now,” he says.
Jordan, who has mostly stayed out of the public eye since his 2003 retirement, has recently re-entered the NBA as a special contributor. His new show, “MJ: Insights to Excellence” — a prerecorded miniseries of interviews where Jordan shares basketball wisdom and personal reflections with host Mike Tirico — airs weekly during certain NBA games in the 2025-2026 season.
Fans and players have been soaking in Jordan’s wisdom and the tidbits of information he shares about his personal life, but Jason says this focus on the NBA’s “good ol’ days” when Jordan was the face of the league isn’t doing anything positive for the already hurting association. If anything, Jordan’s show is a reminder of how “lazy” today’s NBA players are.
On Tuesday night during the postgame show following the New York Knicks vs. Milwaukee Bucks game, episode two of “MJ: Insights to Excellence” aired. Tirico asked the GOAT his thoughts on “load management” — the strategic practice of resting healthy players during games or limiting their minutes to prevent injuries, manage fatigue, and extend careers.
Jordan, who was notorious for playing through injury and fatigue all 82 games of a season, pulled no punches: “[Load management] shouldn’t be needed … I never wanted to miss a game because it was an opportunity to prove.”
“You have a duty that if [fans] are wanting to see you, and as an entertainer, I want to show,” he added.
While Jordan’s work ethic and commitment to the game will forever be admirable, the fact that it remains unmatched over two decades later only highlights how far the NBA has fallen.
“This is not a criticism of Michael Jordan. It’s really a criticism of Adam Silver and the executives and ownership in the NBA. They can’t come up with a solution for what’s wrong with the NBA, and so they’re allowing Michael Jordan and the media to mostly drive the discussion about what’s wrong with the NBA,” says Jason.
NBC, which recently inked an 11-year, $76 billion media rights deal to broadcast NBA games, is “using the greatest player of all time to basically subtly take a dump on the NBA,” he explains.
“Fearless” contributor and basketball aficionado Jay Skapinac agrees that Michael’s words are true — load management is a reflection of how soft NBA players have become — but the NBA highlighting this is only “undermining the current product.”
If the NBA wants to move into a new era, where grit and passion define the league again, it needs to ditch LeBron James, who he says “is the only player that has left the game worse than the one that he inherited,” and “move forward with these new, bright, rising young stars in the NBA” instead of “focusing on the greatest player that ever existed in the sports history.”
