It gives me faith in society that we're still nice people.
Couple thoughts here on home court advantage.
So we'll start there.
Harrison from Cincinnati.
when I was talking about with Mahoney about why doesn't home court advantage matter like it used to.
Harrison from Cincinnati said, what about dating apps?
Players no longer need to go to a bar or club to pick up girls on the road anymore.
Now they can just hop on a top dating app like Rye or check their Instagram DMs and invite someone to their hotel room without needing to drink or stay out late.
Maybe this is the single biggest reason of the downfall of home court advantage.
You know, I wanted to laugh at this.
And then I was thinking about how
players probably met people in the 90s and the 2000s versus how they be now.
And it's probably way easier to be more discreet and meet people without having to actually go out in the general public and stay up late and do all that stuff.
So can't be ruled out.
Jalen Rose and I always used to have a joke when athletes would get into a town and they would say on Twitter,
they would be landing in Miami and they'd be like, what's good, Miami?
And then you would just get all these DMs from whoever, people that knew you were in Miami.
Yeah, maybe that is part of it.
Maybe people are out until five in the morning at clubs anywhere.
Oliver from Chicago wants to know, is it possible athletes are just better at handling the pressure?
