Amidst the constant stream of content, some outlets occasionally resort to speculative narratives to garner attention. Deadspin, a sports media website, has raised eyebrows by suggesting that veteran NFL quarterback Ryan Tannehill is acting in a racially biased manner.

The Tennessee Titans recently benched Tannehill in favor of rookie Will Levis. Tannehill gracefully accepted the decision, expressing his willingness to support Levis.
However, Deadspin pointed out a contrasting attitude when the Titans drafted Malik Willis in 2022, claiming that Tannehill, at the time, made it clear that mentoring Willis wasn’t his job. Deadspin now insinuates that Tannehill’s change of stance between Willis and Levis is racially motivated, as Willis is Black, while Levis is white.
The article concludes, “This stuff writes itself.”
The accusation has drawn various reactions, with some criticizing Deadspin for making unfounded claims without evidence. Fans and observers caution against publicly labeling someone as racist without substantial proof, emphasizing the importance of treading carefully in such matters. Meanwhile, the Titans suffered a 20-6 loss to the Bucs on Sunday, bringing their record to 3-6 for the year.
