Shannon Sharpe has been an outspoken supporter of Colin Kaepernick and his message against police brutality for much of the past year. On Tuesday, Sharpe and his co-host Skip Bayless discussed the reason why Kaepernick is disliked by “white people”.

Sharpe and Bayless’s discussion set off Fox sports personality Clay Travis who fired off a series of tweets condemning the Undisputed hosts for their opinions on the Kaepernick situation.
Facts matter @realskipbayless & @shannonsharpe and you guys look dumb supporting Kaepernick's protest and spouting left wing lies.

Black men are 6% of population & commit 51% of murders in US per FBI. 93% of their victims are black. Protest that. https://t.co/ZM5wSdx6Hg https://t.co/ytqbsZtrau
