ESPN’s Maria Taylor didn’t hold back in her comments on Jake Fromm.
Former Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm has been under fire of late after disturbing text messages surfaced in which he said guns should only be sold to ‘elite white people.’ Now with the Buffalo Bills, Fromm posted an apology on Twitter shortly after the texts were made public.
However, despite his sincere words, that hasn’t stopped countless folks out there from calling him out over what he had to say. This includes former Bulldogs linebacker Davin Bellamy, who said he always believed Jacob Eason was a better quarterback.
Meanwhile for Georgia alum Maria Taylor, now a popular personality on ESPN, she didn’t go down the road of blasting Fromm.
She did, however, make it clear just how disappointed she was in seeing him use those words.
Maria Taylor reached out to Jake Fromm after his racist comments resurfaced
“I actually reached out to him and I really want to have a discussion about what he meant by that comment,” Taylor said on ESPN’s First Take.
“So, he’s young and he’s made a poor decision, and I hope he calls me honestly, I actually reached out to him and I really want to have a discussion about what he meant by that comment and the ways he’s going to check himself moving forward or the ways in which he hopes to help his white counterparts understand why that wasn’t ok and how they should be talking about race in America.”
Taylor is hoping she and Fromm can connect soon so that she can get a better understanding for what he actually was trying to say. Fromm has lost plenty of fans over the last week, but it appears Taylor is more than willing to hear him out.
