"Skip Bayless' Day is Coming": Matt Barnes & NBA Twitter React as Shannon Sharpe Gets Disrespected in Damar Hamlin Row

Skip Bayless is one of the most controversial sports analysts, if not the most. He has been working in the sports media industry for over 30 years and has made a name for himself by being outspoken and opinionated.

Strongly opinionated against some particular players in each sport he calls himself an “expert” of. While some people must love to hear what Bayless has to say, most can’t stand him.

Bayless has worked for a variety of networks over the years, including ESPN, Fox Sports, and SiriusXM, and is currently working for Fox Sports 1 along with Shannon Sharpe on their show ‘Undisputed’ since 2016.

However, it looks like it won’t go on any longer.

Shannon Sharpe is finally sick of Skip Bayless

On Tuesday, when Damar Hamlin, the 24-year-old Buffalo Bills’ Safety suffered a stroke Skip Bayless came out with an insensitive Tweet that didn’t sit well with anybody on social media.

It was only a few days back when the 71-year-old disrespected his long-time studio partner and NFL Hall of Fame, Shannon Sharpe, on live television. And when Sharpe came back to the sets on Wednesday after missing an episode following Skip’s controversial Tweet, there was another disrespect in store waiting for him. But this time Unc stopped it right away.

NBA Twitter also has its say.

Even Matt Barnes reacted to Skip’s pathetic behavior by remembering an incident where he and Unc saved him from a severe thrashing by an NBA player, and said “Skip’s day is coming”.

Skip has made a living out of creating unnecessary controversy

There are many people who believe that he is nothing more than a troll who loves to start arguments and sticks to it just because it’s fun. He doesn’t care if his views are disrespectful to anybody or if it’s insensitive in any way, shape, or form.

Skip wants attention, and we have been giving it to him for years. That is how he has become one of the most highly-paid sports commentators in the world. But it’s time for the cancel culture to catch up to a deserving man.
