Look, I get it. Jason Whitlock is about pageviews. Most writers are and form their articles around clickbait titles, which is part of the reason he decided to call Ciara ‘thirsty’. It’s an understood and accepted practice.
But Whitlock is the same guy who’ll put those type of writers on blast, so it comes off a bit odd to see Whitlock suggesting Ciara looked ‘thirsty’ during her National Anthem performance at the College Football Championship earlier this week.
In fairness to Whitlock, he wasn’t the only high-profile reporter to call out Ciara for her unique wardrobe choice, but it did come across in a vastly different way.

Cheerleaders are for lusting. That’s why they wear short, skimpy clothing. The concept is simple. No one with an ounce of common sense would presume I have a problem with women exposing their cleavage. I’m all for it. I love boobs. Hell, thanks to gluttony, I unfortunately own a pair and, thanks to capitalism, I have financed several pairs.
But the past 24 hours my Twitter feed has been filled with tweets calling me an Uncle Tom and a House N—a for suggesting Ciara would’ve been better served covering her breasts. She looked thirsty.
I made the mistake of expressing an ounce of concern for Ciara. I made the mistake of expressing a harmless opinion that runs counter to the Thought Po Po.
Have to wonder if Beyonce wore a similar dress – would she be called thirsty as well? I doubt it.
