Jason Whitlock did not even make it to the launch date of his website “The Undefeated.” According to Richard Sandomir, he is out as the head of the website, and will be replaced on an interim basis by Leon Carter.
Whitlock left FOX Sports and returned to ESPN two years ago, ostensibly to start his version of a “Black Grantland.” There were reports of discord–Deadspin had a takedown detailing how Whitlock was poisoning the site before it went public–that appear to be supported by this move.
According to Sandomir, Whitlock will stay on at ESPN as a writer. However, this was hardly the vision when he returned to ESPN to do more.
