Candace Buckner Faces Hypocrisy Claims Over Arch Manning Op-Ed and Josh Jacobs Felony Case

Summary
OutKick accused The Athletic columnist Candace Buckner of applying a double standard by blasting Arch Manning over an AI video while not writing about Packers back Josh Jacobs, who faces a felony strangulation charge.
Buckner’s op-ed said Manning, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and laughing reporters revealed “sordid” character after Manning referenced an AI clip depicting Sarkisian slapping ESPN’s Holly Rowe.
That criticism followed a real postgame flare-up in which Sarkisian berated Rowe; Manning later apologized, and Rowe said she accepted the apology.
OutKick said Buckner’s silence on Jacobs is more striking because he was arrested and placed on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list over allegations involving his ex-girlfriend.
The Athletic did not respond to OutKick’s request for comment, leaving the dispute centered on whether sports media punish offensive speech more aggressively than alleged violence.
