Buck posed this question: Is Clay the Alex Berenson of sports? He just might be. Clay has been way out front in covering the woke virus that has taken over American sports.

MLB is in the spotlight again this week. The only real impact so far from the fight over the Georgia voting bill has been Atlanta losing the All-Star Game, which is being played tonight as a result in Denver. And you had that ridiculous cosmetic theater of kids running around the Home Run Derby last night, forced to wear masks on the field — when none of the players or sold-out crowd had masks on!

It seems like every day we have a new woke uproar from the world of sports and today’s comes courtesy of the highest-paid employee at ESPN, Stephen A. Smith. What Smith said about Angels’ All-Star pitcher and slugger Shohei Ohtani use of an interpreter wasn’t remotely controversial, but he apologized for it anyway.

Clay thinks ESPN forced him to do it in order to keep his $12 million-a-year paycheck.

Do you agree? Vote in Clay’s Twitter poll.

Should Stephen A. Smith have been forced to apologize for his Shohei Ohtani comments?
