Jason Whitlock Out At FS1: The Real Reason Why
Jason Whitlock is out at FS1 as of June 1. The real reason why was revealed shortly after it came out that his deal with the network was done.
Whitlock has been a mainstay on FS1 for years in a show called “Speak For Yourself.” That all ended today.
According to multiple reports, the root dilemma between Whitlock and FS1 was money. He wanted more of it than FS1 was willing to give up.
