Drake Maye dissed for giving an opinion by ESPN personalities paid to give opinions

Sports media personalities get paid to voice their opinions.

While most are way overpaid, they still clog up TV space, providing some bold takes that they expect the public to take as the right opinion.

HOWEVER, dare an athlete voice his or her opinion, then opinions aren't allowed!

Let's fill you in: on a recent episode of ESPN's First Take, former NFL quarterback Cam Newton described the New England Patriots as "fools gold" due to their weaker schedule.

Of course, the media had to ask Maye, who has claimed in the past that Newton was his favorite player growing up, his take on the comment.
