Shannon Sharpe had a lot to say about Jake Fromm’s recent faux-pas.
Shannon Sharpe isn’t shy to speak out when something bothers him and recently, he was given a perfect reason to voice his frustrations. Of course, with the death of George Floyd in mind, many are currently speaking out on racial injustice and how the system is working against black and brown people. Sharpe has been vocal about his feelings when it comes to this topic and with the latest news regarding Buffalo Bills QB Jake Fromm, he had extra reasons to be rightfully upset.
For those who don’t know, leaked text messages showed Fromm speaking to his friend about guns and how only “elite white people” should have them. Fromm has since issued an apology but that didn’t stop Sharpe from speaking his mind. As he explains in the video below, Fromm’s comments are textbook racism and display a white person who believes he is owed something because of the color of his skin.
Sharpe went on to say that he never felt as though he was better than anybody based on race and that he always preferred to show how good he was based on his talent on the field. As for Fromm, Sharpe isn’t sure what will happen to him and he certainly isn’t sure whether or not he will get the trust of his teammates back.
