On Wednesday, The Athletic posted an op-ed fuming over Arch Manning and Steve Sarkisian.
asserted
Athletic → post → Manning
"Did Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian and cackling reporters act this way?
asserted
Manning → cackle → ?
It can’t be real," Candace Buckner wrote in a headline.
asserted
Buckner → write → headline
Buckner is referring to Manning citing an AI video earlier this week of Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe, which he and the reporters in the room found funny.
asserted
he → refer → room
On Saturday, Sarkisian blew up Rowe during a post-game interview.
asserted
Sarkisian → blow → interview
Manning has since apologized.
asserted
Manning → apologize → ?
Rowe said she accepted the apology.
asserted
she → say → apology
Evidently, Buckner did not.
asserted
Buckner → do → ?
"I can’t tell which is worse: the phony clip depicting violence against a woman, or the real-life behavior displayed by Sarkisian, then Manning and a room of media members?
asserted
which → tell → members
Before they could edit themselves and add a glossy filter to their apologies, they showed the sordid bits of their individual characters for all to see," she wrote.
uncertain
she → edit → characters
For the record, Manning finding the AI-generated clip funny says nothing about his character.
asserted
clip → find → character
Even if you agree that he should have apologized – if, for nothing else, to mitigate the distraction – his comments are not worth the level of outrage Buckner is exhibiting.
It's also notable that Buckner is showing such fury over Manning, Sarkisian, and reporters over their treatment of women, but not Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs.
asserted
Buckner → agree → women
From what we can tell, Buckner has not penned a single article about Jacobs, who is facing a felony charge for allegedly strangling his ex-girlfriend.
uncertain
who → tell → girlfriend
Why would a sports reporter for The Athletic show more disgust over a player joking about a meme hitting a woman than a player who was arrested and put on the NFL Commissioner's Exemption list for allegedly hitting women?
uncertain
who → show → women
We had hoped to find that answer.
asserted
We → hop → answer
OutKick contacted The Athletic for comment and to see if we could speak to Candace Buckner for this article.
uncertain
we → contact → article
The outlet did not respond.
asserted
outlet → respond → ?
We will update this story if we hear from either The Athletic or Buckner.
asserted
we → update → Athletic
The Athletic's coverage disparity follows a familiar trend in sports media, in which reporters and commentators treat word crimes more seriously than violent crimes.
asserted
reporters → follow → crimes
For example, the usual suspects demanded similar accountability as Manning when Jaxon Dart introduced President Trump on stage and when Harrison Butker encouraged women to consider staying at home and raising kids.
asserted
Butker → demand → kids
Likewise, they were as silent as they were with Jacobs when various players were arrested and charged with serious violent crimes, often against women.
asserted
players → arrest → women
In fact, there was more outrage over Butker's remarks than when his teammate, Rashee Rice, crashed into a car with a young woman and her child, driving 119 mph and fleeing the scene.
asserted
teammate → be → scene
These reporters come across as so phony and contrived.
asserted
reporters → come → ?
How else can you describe a group that is more upset about a joke than abuse?
asserted
that → describe → abuse
