Fox News’ Laura Ingraham could have been tased by the building's security detail and not felt it after listening to former NFL tight end Ben Watson, favored black athletes choosing not to attend white-majority colleges.

The Atlantic's Jemele Hill wrote a stirring article last week on that very subject. College football is a huge business and the major universities across the nation are benefitting from it each and every year. However, historically black colleges have not. 

With the allure of attending a major named university, these players see top of the line practice facilities, out of the world weight rooms, and up to 100,000 seat stadiums. Who wouldn't want to play on that level?

Ingraham thought Watson would shred Hill's article which is probably why she had him on but he did the very opposite. She asked Watson to weigh in on Hill's idea that African-American athletes should boycott mainstream, white-majority colleges to help address the massive racial wealth gap in the country.
