He told me that my arrival at OutKick was a ‘kick in the nuts’ and that all three of us should own one-third of OutKick. I told Clay in November that I was going to exit OutKick unless Savage invested the $500,000 he committed … It was a bad business deal, a byproduct of my failure to properly vet my business partners.” My equity in OutKick was based on ‘sweat.’ I believe my ‘sweat’ is far more valuable than Sam’s. Clay said that he didn’t want to waste time or energy pursuing Sam’s investment,” Whitlock told FOS.
Per Whitlock, Savage was awarded an equity stake in OutKick without making a $500,000 investment it had previously been agreed upon he would make. Those sources may or may not be Whitlock himself, given that he just did an interview with FOS where he talked about his future plans as well as everything that went down at Outkick.Īccording to Whitlock, his departure stemmed from a disagreement he had with Travis about the equity stake Sam Savage, OutKick’s third partner, had in the company. It appears more bylines for Whitlock on The Blaze could be on the way as he is in talks to join either Fox News or Blaze Media, sources tell Front Office Sports.
Deprived of a byline on Outkick since mid-December, Whitlock did guest-write a piece for The Blaze following the insurrection at the Capitol last month. Following his departure from FSI when his contract with Fox Sports expired in June, Jason Whitlock joined Clay Travis’s Outkick within the month and his columns became so popular that at one point they crashed the publication’s website.īut something clearly didn’t work out as the 53-year-old departed Outkick in early 2021 to “carve his own career path,” according to Travis.
