Former ESPN columnist Jason Whitlock remains unmarried and has never been involved in a public relationship. He has previously even encouraged professional athletes not to get married.
In the past decade, Jason Whitlock has gained more traction for his conservative political thoughts than his sports commentary.
Even when he involves himself in the sports world and with sports personalities, he focuses on the controversial side and what could get more clicks on his video.
Recently, Whitlock talked about the Fox Sports controversy that has taken the sporting world by storm.
A suit filed in Los Angeles by hairstylist Noushin Faraji includes allegations against several sports media members, including Skip Bayless, Joy Taylor, Emmanuel Acho, and Charlie Dixon.
Throwing young, attractive makeup artists in dressing rooms with wealthy men is a recipe for disaster. These artists may be well-intentioned, but they’re just as weak as you and me. They may eventually bait these men, and the men bite. We’re seeing it a FS1 right now. pic.twitter.com/XHjuSXKz9p

Undoubtedly, Whitlock gave his thoughts on the lawsuit and specifically targeted Joy Taylor.
In the lawsuit, Joy Taylor has been accused of bullying and being intimate with her bosses to get ahead.
In his show, Fearless with Jason Whitlock, the former Fox Sports analyst said Taylor symbolizes the feminist and DEI movement and has little to offer sports journalism outside of her looks.
Former NFL star Cam Newton has called out Whitlock for his sexist comments against Taylor and told him to stay in his lane.
But we don’t think that will be enough for Whitlock to stop sharing his thoughts in public domains.
Jason Whitlock Believes That Having No Wife Gives Him an Advantage Over His Peers!
In a 2015 interview, Jason Whitlock talked about having no wife and how that benefits him.
In the University of Maryland article, Whitlock details his sports journey. He talks about being raised by his mother, playing football and basketball early on, and becoming a sports columnist.
Whitlock, 47 at the time, wrote he could be more provocative and fearless than his peers because he had no wife or kids.
Whitlock further explained that in the case of his peers, they, with their families, could face repercussions.
In Jason’s case only he will face consequences of what he says publicly.
Previously, in one of his Fox Sports columns in 2009, Whitlock said that professional athletes shouldn’t tie the knot. Whitlock wrote:
They enter into the insitution of lying/marriage with as much chance of remaining sexually faithful as I do entering a Wendy’s and adhering to my diet.

Previously, Whitlock defended himself by saying he remained unmarried in an interview with Colin Cowherd.
Cowherd told Whitlock he thinks the latter’s life would be much better if he had a woman’s companionship.
But Whitlock had no plans on taking Cowherd’s ideas on board. He said not having a wife and kids is better suited for his lifestyle.
The former ESPN columnist said he can think deeper about sports without someone constantly nagging him.
