When Saquon Barkley posted on X that Tiki Barber has “been a hater since I got to New York” in response to the WFAN host's criticism after the former Giants running back broke a bunch of Big Apple hearts Monday by leaving for the Eagles, he wasn't wrong. The first pointed remarks Barber ever made about Barkley came after opening night in 2020 following a Giants home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bias
(85%)
The author uses language that dehumanizes Tiki Barber by referring to him as a 'hater' and implies that he has been consistently negative towards Saquon Barkley. The author also quotes Barkley directly stating that Barber has been a hater since he arrived in New York, which is not necessarily true.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Jason Kelce has some regret after the Eagles signed Saquon Barkley. However, this statement contradicts a previous quote from Kelce where he expressed excitement about Barkley's signing and how it would help him make a Super Bowl run with his new team.
On the latest episode of Kelce’s New Heights podcast with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the now-former Eagles center admitted he had some conflicting thoughts after GM Howie Roseman agreed to a deal with Barkley three years worth a maximum $46.76 million.
Kelce also pointed out how run game coordinator Jeff Stoutland, the longest-tenured Eagles coach, will certainly help get Barkley acclimated to his new squad quickly.
