And yet they seem like they're stuck in this bubble, this time machine of 2019 and 2020, where every single hair trigger event became an excuse to scream racism and launch, you know, federal investigations. And you compare it to like the NBA. the Major League Baseball, National Football League, all of which have a lot of racial mixing within their teams.

And there seems to be none of this, basically. And this is a sport, a league that has gone out of its way to be very vocal about its left-wing politics. And it's like they imported 2020 racial hair-trigger scandals where none existed when the whole country has now moved beyond it. And the worst are the sports reporters who basically destroyed their own credibility

By no longer talking about sports and wanting to get up on their soapbox and the fact that the person did it here and seems to have invented racism accusations, which are pretty serious, is just the kind of thing that, as you said, generally doesn't bring any accountability because it's considered for the right cause.

I mean, again, this is something that happened very commonly in the wake of the Black Lives Matter and the George Floyd incident, where we invented all of these very sensitive frameworks for when racism happens, for when you're supposed to object and launch a sort of scandal. And I think people got to the point where they realized

You know, if you're going to raise serious racism accusations, you need to have a serious basis for it. It seems like the whole country moved on from this sort of thing. I don't know why the N.W.A., the N.W.A., the Women's Basketball Association is continuously engulfing this sort of thing. Yeah, the WNBA.

Given that this is the sort of thing that is going to alienate people, you know, that whole incident with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese with that foul that Caitlin Clark made on Angel Reese, which I have watched men's basketball for decades. Every single time a shooter is open, someone comes and tries to foul them by slapping the ball out of their hands, which is exactly what she did.

But because of those two players, it became some sort of like racial dynamic. I don't know what it is about this league. I do think they've defined themselves in this very politically oriented way, almost more so than the basketball. And I think it's ultimately going to just drive people away because people go to watch basketball, not to be engulfed in all of these fake scandals all the time.
