Wow: Ryan Clark was reportedly fired from ESPN due to his “poor verbal conduct” with fellow colleague Peter Schrager. Specifically this exchange between the two last September on live television. Clark: "That’s the non-player in you" Schrager: "Don’t belittle me like that, I can come & say as 3... show more

Firing him for this is soft, be honest his statement is true about that guy he doesn’t know what he’s talking about .
Shrager text: Who’s the “non-player” now? 😂🤣
I don’t want to hear analyst anymore. I want to hear from the players
He is a super racist but don't worry, I'm sure acho will get him a job on the network no one watches with Nick Wright
Man stop spreading this. This was from 10 months ago. He’s being fired 10 months later?
No fucking way! I will never believe that, it’s a bunch of nothing in that exchange. If you follow it with Schrager got butt hurt about it and has pull with management because he is Jewish I would then maybe I listen.
Highly doubt this was the reason he got fired because what???
Ryan Clark is a class act. It's MAGA ESPN that are the assholes. To fire someone while they're on air like that and leak the stories shows how nasty they are. They still posted those videos for clicks and likes. F**k ESPN!
He was so blatant racist it was unbelievable he was on the air as long as he was to be honest. One of the worst so called analysts I’ve heard and I’m happy he is no longer on espn.
What’s wrong with this verbal exchange? Is it because the black man is speaking down on the non player? ESPN needs to be boycotted!
He was fired for being racist. 👋 Cya Ryan Clark
Not true this was such a long time ago, also he wasn’t being disrespectful here he even apologized beforehand if it comes off as rude. I don’t like him but this ain’t why
NGL This was Weak Sauce from Ryan. He always has to try and give a reason why his opinion is the be all, end all and more often then not he’s wrong
That wasn't the only one. There are many instances of him doing the same race baiting. He finally got what was coming to him
Highly doubt it was because of this. Maybe it was the last straw, but this clown has been race baiting since he started. Horrible takes constantly
Okay? this calls for being fired?
The opinion of a former player weighs more than anyone (including “analysts”) in this argument, that’s not belittling, that’s facts!
Almost a year later? GFOH with this excuse
If that’s true @espn lost its fucking marbles!! You don’t them @Realrclark25 , In other news I heard they letting cam newton go too ! The network is losing it’s white identity they said hold up wait a min 😂
Happy to see this race baiting dbag let go.
There’s a portion of football, or any sport, that people who’ve never played, or that only played at a lower level know.
The saddest part is a network pays these 4 big $ to comment on the sport of football. This over the top sports commentary culture is getting old and truly serves nobody
1067 is making this idiot out to be some superhero. The dude was a racist. Every chance he got a blamed white people for a black mirror ass so I'm tired of it. I'm happy he's gone and quit making them about to be 1067 The Fan.
Basically Ryan spoke the truth and Mf’ers got butt hurt. Smh Go be great somewhere else Ryan (and I don’t agree with everything he says)! ESPN’s glory days are behind them anyways and it’s their own fault.
That would've been the most awkward commercial break ever. 😭
White people love Stephen A. Smith because he makes Ryan Clark look like Malcolm X.
This is some bullshit here Peter talking over everyone as if he played is the problem the problem is Peter doesn’t let Ryan finish his takes talks over Ryan shows emotions this is ridiculous get the non athletes off of sports media!! Only in the sports world where someone can get a job with no actually sports experience Stephen A went to college for hoop end of the day. Peter didn’t 💯 @espn @stephenasmith @GetUpESPN @FirstTake @ESPNNFL
My kids never been adults or have more experience at life than me...Im guessing I should let them lead and not set them straight base on my experiences. P.s not a clark fan. Just seems weird base on reports.
It’s about time Clark is no longer puking racist rhetoric on a major network. Haven’t watched ESPN in 10 years because of people like Clark and “Scam Newton.”
Peter's feelings were hurt and the truth exposed his lack of player knowledge. What say you?
It wasn't just for this. Its because Ryan Clark will either use the "race" or "player" card anytime he cant win an argument for something.
What's crazy is the lack of maturity by Shrager. The non-player POV should be common sense. Clearly, players look at things differently than ANYONE who has an outside opinion. THEY say it ALL the time. There must have been a bit more to him possibly being difficult to work with
“It wasn’t about you - it was going to be about me.” Then why’d you say the words “it’s the non-player in YOU” to that same man 10 seconds prior? Ryan Clark should’ve never been given this role. He brings close to zero value as a “analyst” and brings even less as a human.
Man, I can't stand Schrager, brings very little value to the show and his takes are god awful. Lost a good one in Clark FR
![Stephen A. Smith reveals a former football player with his own podcast told him the “truth ain’t meant to be told” when Republicans do something right. This story begins in Vegas, when the football player confronted Smith, saying: “Yo, man, you sound like one of them [Republican].” Smith replied: “I don’t give a damn what you say I sound like.” The football player got brutally honest with Smith and said: “Look, bro, let me, let me keep it a buck with you and just tell it to you like this.” “We are living in very serious times.” “‘The truth ain’t meant to be told sometimes.’” That last statement stopped Smith in his tracks. He responded: “‘Wait a minute, what you talking about?’” The former football player replied: “‘I don’t give a damn what it is that they’re doing right is nothing compared to what they’re doing wrong, therefore you should never say they’re doing something right.’” “‘I’m swearing to you, this is what he said,’” Smith attests. “I'm not gonna say his name cause I don’t know if he wants me to do that.” Chilling if true. I wonder who Smith could be talking about here… because there are only so many former football players with their own podcasts.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2056775388785717296/amplify_video_thumb/2056775143112757248/img/lT7bJ3z0HSBtDAOQ.jpg)
![➖Scott Van Pelt and Ryan Clark reacts to late hit calls in #Chiefs vs. #Texans | NFL on ESPN 🗣️ Ryan “I think the first thing you have to start to understand the position these defensive players are in. Patrick Mahomes in that moment is running side to side. He’s basically playing with the defenders and then when they close on him, he falls straight to the ground. ..These players were trying to tackle Patrick Mahomes as he danced around versus their defense and when you have a call like this, in this situation, that gives the Kansas City Chiefs a new set of downs [+15 yards]—that’s an issue. To Chiefs fans.. we’re not making an excuse or saying this is the reason that they won, but you gotta acknowledge the calls versus the team that you have to be virtually perfect against.” 🗣️ SVP “That last drive, the drive that we’re talking about on that penalty, that led to the touchdown on Kelce. That extended the lead to 8.” 🗣️ Ryan “Absolutely, and so you’re deflated as a football team if you do everything you need to do to get a stop. If you converge on Patrick Mahomes in the way that you’re supposed to and you don’t commit a foul but yet you’re handed one—that’s an issue.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1881156134246949347/amplify_video_thumb/1881155829346316288/img/7CxpNqSZqi-2QXGQ.jpg)
