But let me tell you this. The very next day, there was a post on the Wrangler Twitter account
about this and this would happen from time to time stuff like this could happen where I'd be on my show joking about something like once the NBA store had old Golden State Warriors gear but it was Philadelphia Warriors and I had not fully realized that Warriors means Indians like all the things that all the things that are Warriors used to be Indians like I had a baseball team that was the Warriors when I was a kid and it was blue with red letters it didn't dawn on me that it was really the Cleveland Indians right

And so it's this wildly offensive imagery on this throwback merchandise that is being sold at the NBA store for the Warriors. I didn't even know it existed. I said something about it on my podcast. I laughed about it. The next day it was gone. Gone, I tell you, gone. And I'm like, dog, I wasn't even getting on you. I was just laughing.

Well, in sports, I think the example that people typically point to is the NBA bubble and putting Black Lives Matter on the floor and the slogans on the back of jerseys. It was ham-fisted. They didn't know what to do. But if you weren't here for that moment, it's hard to explain how pressing it was. And these boys are talking about not playing. It was all falling apart.

They had to do whatever it was.

I don't know if I would say that there were things that went too far. I don't think that there was anything tangible that really mattered that went too far.

I do think what happened, though, was that, as is the case with most social revolutions, if we will call this a revolution for this discussion, is they're normally spearheaded by young people, and it was spearheaded by this generation of young people that is very, very concerned with language. and very concerned with feelings as much as it is anything tangible. Oh, they love feelings.

And so these corporate offices and stuff that were full of these young people who got these Slack channels and they were getting everything going, it was about keeping them together and everybody holding the line because everybody's stuck at home. They're frustrated. You know how terrible COVID had to be for white people to get on board in the way they did with this black cause?
