Jake Paul Just Called Ronaldo One of the Most Overhyped Athletes Ever

Stadium Talk

Jordan OMalley

Jake Paul isn’t new to controversy, but his latest move lit up the sports world like few others. In a clip that went viral, the social media star rattled off a list of athletes he believes are, in his words, “overrated.” Shockingly, the names included legends, champions, and household favorites.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Paul knew this pick would upset millions. He even said so before dropping Cristiano Ronaldo’s name. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored over 800 goals, won titles in England, Spain, and Italy, and just helped Portugal win another Nations League. Yet Paul shrugged all that off. To him, Ronaldo is overhyped. He didn’t elaborate, but calling one of the sport’s most consistent icons overrated? That did plenty on its own.

Anthony Joshua

Once a unified heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has lost steam lately. Paul didn’t waste time calling him out, especially after Anthony’s knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in 2024. While Anthony hasn’t fought since the Dubois bout, Paul believes the boxer’s name still carries more weight than his recent performances justify.

Conor McGregor

Despite being one of the UFC’s most famous figures, Conor McGregor hasn’t won a fight in more than five years. That’s the stat Paul leaned on when dropping Conor’s name. Their rivalry is well-documented, and the two have teased a future clash.

Canelo Alvarez

Paul isn’t impressed that Canelo Alvarez has held titles in four weight classes. He’s been vocal about it, especially after a rumored fight between the two fell through. Canelo instead signed a deal with the Riyadh Season series. Paul views him as a legacy fighter whose current relevance is inflated. For someone with nearly 60 pro fights, Canelo still couldn’t dodge this jab from Jake.

Ryan Garcia

Ryan Garcia’s recent headlines haven’t helped his case. Paul criticized the boxer for his high expectations and underwhelming follow-through; even his win over Devin Haney was overturned due to a failed test. For Paul, Ryan’s image as the future of boxing never quite matched the reality in the ring.

Babe Ruth

It’s not every day someone calls Babe Ruth overrated, but Paul did exactly that. Ruth’s seven World Series wins and 714 home runs are etched in baseball history. But Paul pointed to the era Ruth played in, long before modern training, competition, or television, as a reason to question his legacy.

Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback made the list, probably for one glaring reason: his playoff record. At 2–5 in the postseason, Dak Prescott hasn’t lived up to the hype he now earns, at least according to Paul.

Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was another NFL name Paul went after. He’s shown flashes of brilliance, but injury setbacks and an uneven career arc likely made him an easy pick. Tua ranked among the NFL’s top 100 players in 2023, but that didn’t stop the influencer from calling him out.

Trevor Lawrence

Even the football star’s potential hasn’t shielded him from criticism this harsh. Trevor Lawrence came into the NFL as a can’t-miss prospect. After being drafted first overall in 2021, he led the Jaguars to one playoff win and a division title in 2022. Still, his 20-30 career record and $55 million annual salary were enough for Paul to call him “overpaid and overrated.”

Anthony Edwards

Though relatively young, Anthony Edwards is already turning heads in the NBA. He won Olympic gold in 2024 and made history with the most single-season three-pointers in Timberwolves franchise history. But Paul still put him on blast. He didn’t go into detail, but some believe the controversial influencer is jumping the gun here. Considering he’s only 23, Edwards might make Paul regret this pick in a few short seasons.

Tommy Fury – Honorable Mention

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury shared one of boxing’s most hyped grudge matches in 2023. The latter won by split decision, but Jake downplayed the loss, calling Tommy “basic” and “overprotected.”

Nate Diaz – Honorable Mention

When Jake Paul fought Nate Diaz in 2023, it was more like an internet crossover than a real boxing match. Diaz, an MMA legend, looked out of place in a boxing ring. Jake won on points but later dismissed Nate’s performance as sluggish and outdated. Despite Nate’s cult following, Jake doesn’t buy the hype.

Logan Paul – Honorable Mention

Even brothers aren’t safe. Jake has occasionally jabbed at Logan Paul’s combat credibility, especially after Logan’s exhibition with Floyd Mayweather. While Logan shifted toward WWE and PRIME hydration deals, Jake hinted that Logan’s fight record and ring skills don’t live up to the spotlight he enjoys.

Ben Askren – Honorable Mention

Credit: Instagram

Jake Paul knocked out Ben Askren in under two minutes back in 2021, but the drama didn’t stop there. The influencer often mocks Askren’s physique and downplays the win, saying it proved how overhyped the former MMA wrestler was as a striker. Askren’s decorated MMA résumé didn’t impress Jake.

Dillon Danis – Honorable Mention

Credit: Instagram

Before his boxing debut, Jake Paul called out Dillon Danis repeatedly, even pelting him with water balloons during an infamous drive-by taunt. Danis talked plenty but never signed a contract. Paul took that as proof of bluffing.

The athlete has also attracted attention and praise for challenging traditional beauty stereotypes in sport.

On August 1, Shao, 23, from the Hubei provincial track and field team based in central China, claimed the women’s high jump title at the 2025 Chinese National Athletics Championships with a leap of 1.90 metres.

Following her victory, Shao went viral on mainland social media for both her performance and her striking looks.

One of her videos on social media showcasing the competition got more than 3 million likes.

Shao was introduced to the high jump at primary school, where her athletic potential was quickly recognised after she effortlessly cleared a one-metre bar during a tryout.

“There were so many stereotypes in primary school. People assumed that if I went into sports, I would waste my life, maybe end up at a sports school at best,” Shao told Jiupai News.

Players Pass with Abby Jasmine

Players Pass with Abby Jasmine

From virality to duality, Abby can do it all, from singing to rapping and laying everything on the line.

 Additional reporting by Michael Mais Jr. 

Staten Island doesn’t always get the spotlight in New York-based hip-hop but when it does it tends to produce something legendary, like a certain nine-member rap group. And in a time where attention spans are short and trends move even faster, one artist is making sure her name sticks: Abby Jasmine. 

Long before viral buzz and algorithm-charged exposure, Abby was sharpening her skills in one of the most organic places imaginable: the church. With a father rooted deeply in gospel and musical tradition, she grew up surrounded by melody and message. It was there, among choirs and sermons, that Abby found both her first stage and first audience. 

As a youth, that foundation became fuel, and with a few friends and a lot of ambition, she formed a church rap group. Mixing harmonies and hard-hitting bars, what started as a simple creative outlet quickly gained momentum. By the late 2010s, Abby would tap into viral moments that introduced her style and sound to audiences beyond Shaolin.

However, Abby’s rise is not rooted in luck, but in pure skill that has been sharpened by life, faith, and a relentless drive to be heard. Her lyrics carry clarity, confidence, and depth, standing out in a digital era flooded with noise. Rather than chase co-signs or shortcuts, Abby is building a legacy on her own terms while doing it with grace, grit, and bars that hit.

In her Players Pass interview with Okayplayer, we step into Abby’s world as she opens up about her creative process, inspiration, and what it really takes to make timeless music in her favorite spot, the Cash Only Deli. “I grew up very community-based,” Abby shares. “But that also goes into how I like to make my music. I like to make a community with the producers, the songwriters, and just work with the same people.” Her approach to collaboration is rooted in trust and synergy, a sharp contrast to an internet-rooted culture of disunity that is prevalent in the music industry today.

When asked about her musical inspirations, Abby reflects on growth and perspective, pointing at SZA’s 2017 debut album as a blueprint of her own artistry. “I didn’t really understand Ctrl when it first came out,” she admits. “But now that I am older, I can really appreciate it.” finding new meaning in music once overlooked is a sign of evolution, not just as an artist, but as a woman navigating the world in real-time. That is evident in her song “Caught Up.”

Her creative process is one that is intentional. “When I get my own ideas, I have my own setup and crib when I go home,” Abby says. That sense of independence has become central to her artistry and allows her to carve out space to create on her own terms, without noise or pressure.

“My studio essentials are vibes, silence, and I don’t like so many people in the session,” she continues. For Abby, music is as much about space, energy, and staying tapped into something that is real as it is the sound.

Abby Jasmine is part of a new generation of artists who no longer need to wait for permission. She’s blending her past with her present, building a future where authenticity is louder than hype. And whether she’s going viral or staying lowkey, one thing’s for certain: she is here to stay.

Medical Clinic Workers Fired After TikTok Video Mocking Patients Goes Viral

Several healthcare workers at Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, California, were fired after a TikTok video surfaced showing them mocking patients in an exam room. The video, originally posted by a former employee, depicted staff posing with patients’ bodily fluids on exam tables, with captions like “Are patients allowed to leave you guys gifts?” and “Make sure you leave your healthcare workers sweet gifts like these.” The video quickly went viral, sparking outrage online and prompting Sutter Health, which operates the clinic, to take swift action.

Sutter Health confirmed that all employees involved in the video were terminated, emphasizing that the behavior violated their policies and disrespected patients. The health system stated, “Protecting the trust of those we serve is our highest priority, and when that trust is violated, we take swift action.”

The incident drew widespread condemnation on social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram, where users criticized the workers for their unprofessional conduct. One commenter on Reddit remarked, “No place for shaming the patient in medicine,” while another questioned the clinic’s culture that allowed such behavior.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Sansum Clinic was notified of the video by concerned patients and conducted a review, placing the employees on administrative leave within 24 hours and terminating them shortly after. Sutter Health reiterated their commitment to patient privacy and dignity, using the incident to reinforce their policies with all team members.

The Santa Barbara Independent noted that the video gained traction over Labor Day weekend, leading to a wave of negative reviews on the clinic’s Yelp page. Sutter Health stated that they are conducting a full investigation and that any staff associated with the content are on administrative leave pending the outcome.

Aryna Sabalenka's Coach Makes Stance On Transgender Athletes Clear During US Open

Aryna Sabalenka's Coach Makes Stance On Transgender Athletes Clear During US Open

Aryna Sabalenka put on a clinic during Tuesday night’s match against Qinwen Zheng, winning in straight sets to advance to the semifinals of the US Open. 

One of Sabalenka’s coaches, Jason Stacy, went viral during Tuesday night’s match because he was wearing an “XX-XY” hat at Arthur Ashe Stadium. 

This hat was made by the XX-XY Athletics brand. Their goal is to protect women’s sports.

“It is simply undeniable that sex matters, especially in sport. It is the single biggest determinant of athletic performance,” the brand’s mission statement reads. “Men and women are different. It’s just a fact. Men have XY chromosomes and more testosterone which makes them stronger and faster.”

While some people support XX-XY Athletics, others believe Sabalenka’s coach is sending a bad message at the US Open, particularly towards the transgender community. 

“So what’s up with sabalenka’s coach’s transphobic hat,” one person said. 

Another person tweeted, “Is nobody really going to ask @SabalenkaA about her loser physio wearing that disgusting hat?”

“I love that Sabalenka’s coach is wearing that hat,” a third person wrote. 

It’s unlikely Sabalenka’s coach addresses all this backlash in the middle of the US Open. Perhaps he’ll field some questions after the tournament comes to an end. 

Sabalenka will be back in action at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night against Emma Navarro.

Christian Football Players in the NFL

Fans of pro football—and fans of Jesus—likely know about big-name players who profess faith in Christ. But not all Christians in the NFL are household names…yet.

So in addition to high-profile Christian athletes who get lots of press? Let’s look at other football players who glorify God, both on and off the field.

Note: Last week, NFL teams had to cut their rosters to 53 players. So the careers of some of these athletes are now in flux.

9 More NFL Players Who Are Christians

1. Tyson Bagent (Chicago Bears)

Tyson Bagent, an undrafted quarterback from a Division II college, started four games his rookie year, after Justin Fields was injured. Bagent is known for his hard work, preparation, and strong faith in Jesus. Tyler Haines, who coached Bagent at Shepherd University, told CBS Sports the QB is “a faithful Christian churchgoer,” which “helps make him who he is.”

Bagent had limited playing time in 2024 as a backup. But the Bears recently rewarded him with a two-year, $10 million contract extension. That deal, which could stretch to $16 million with incentives, is life-changing, according to Bagent, 25.

Video went viral of the athlete telling reporters, “My dad is my right-hand man. He didn’t have running water until high school, so there’s definitely a lot of people I can certainly help with this gift I’ve been blessed with.” The West Virginia native added, “It’s certainly a weight off my shoulders and my family’s shoulders.”
