LeSean McCoy said Ryan Clark's emotional response to being laid off by ESPN did not feel genuine, arguing on his podcast that Clark was turning the moment into attention-grabbing content.
McCoy said he expected Clark to "monetize" the firing and chase views rather than simply react privately, adding that job cuts are part of the business for former NFL players.
Ryan Clark, a former NFL safety who joined ESPN in 2015, is leaving the network after more than 11 years.
The criticism follows Clark's own public claims that ESPN had cast him as the "angry Black man" after a dispute involving Peter Schrager, widening the fallout from his departure.
