Greg, forgive me, because one of the things that happens on Tuesday is you sometimes cover ground that we already covered the day before because you haven't listened to the previous day's show. So I'm going to cut you off before we get stuck in this quicksand again.

I'm just going to tell you the part that I disagree with that Bomani said we all agree with, even though the numbers suggest this season that if that's the disrespect, it is going to end in a fight. We don't actually have to agree that that disrespect works. always ends in a fight. I understand the way that we all are really precious about the culture of this sport, but it's a stupid symbolism.

You can take it as disrespect if you want, and it can escalate to the place that you fight, but in my experience, I'm not handling a situation like that, that arrives with that kind of disrespect, immediately with a fight.

I understand that I'm dealing with different kinds of people in a different setting, and I understand how it escalates to a fight, but I'm not agreeing with the premise that that disrespect has to immediately result in a fight.

You can expect human beings to show a modicum, a modicum of I'm not going to resort to violence because of the symbolic stupid act of disrespect. Oh.

So let's do it this way. If we can all agree, spitting in the face. taking your husband or wife, those are greater disrespects. I'm asking you, where the hell is the line on this? Because you're telling me it's flag planting. I'm like, no, it's not. Spinning in the face? Yeah, okay, I can agree with you.

I'm saying that the act as a symbol is stupid and only in the stupidity of this particular cauldron is it going to be viewed as that kind of a disrespect because of everything that everyone's doing and because of all the war terminology that's around this culture, The idea of protecting the home court has to be protected with violence. It's stupid. It's not grown up.

I'm asking you where the lines are is because we can agree over the weekend a player threw a football in the face of another player who wasn't wearing a helmet after a play. Hit him in the face. We can all agree that that is a penalty, but we can't all agree on

what is over celebration we can't because we've been doing it for 30 years in baseball and everywhere else we don't all agree on where over celebration is that's not something that comes with consensus agreement and i'm generally against the very idea of forbidding and bringing more rules to sports bringing a whole bunch more rules to sports i think there are degrees on what is over celebration but i do think that there's a general understanding on what is unsportsmanlike in sports
