FS1
Deshaun Watson’s agent David Mulugheta has an issue with FS1’s coverage of the Watson-Texans situation.
In a segment on FS1’s ‘Speak for Yourself” guest contributor “Uncle Jimmy’ criticized Watson for not keeping true to his contract by asking for a trade because “current generations of athletes were not raised by no man.”
"Deshaun Watson is mad at his boss for writing him a check for $156M and the only thing he can find to complain about is 'he lied to me.'"

The current generation of athletes weren’t raised by a man and how the hell are they going act like a man. See I thought a man, if he put his name on a contract that was all he needed to do, show up and go to work
Mulugheta felt FS1 and “Uncle Jimmy” were promoting racial stereotypes by implying Watson wasn’t raised by a man.

‘Speak for Yourself’ co-host Emmanuel Acho says he didn’t agree with Uncle Jimmy’s take and that he could only speak about his own opinion on the matter.

Update: ESPN’s Ryan Clark also had an issue with the Watson segment.
Seems @EmmanuelAcho should have an uncomfortable conversation with Uncle Jimmy. I guess having Uncle Ruckus on the Boondocks wasn’t enough. We had to give him a bigger stage to perpetuate stereotypes that those who oppose our advancement use as generalities of our reality. https://t.co/rsFnPIIAnl
