How Whitlock is poisoning ESPN's "black Grantland"

[cosmo20002]

The article calls Whit "the preeminent black sports writer" or something like that. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but is he really that big of a deal?

I've never been a big fan and I'm aware of him wearing out his welcome rather quickly everywhere he goes, but the article comes off as a rather desperate attempt to attack the guy and generally difficult job of launching a new project. Whit and the writer both seem like dicks.
