Sports will never return to a state where players don't use their leverage for political activism

I don't think it's ever going to go back to players not using their leverage in terms of getting into political arguments or political discussions or activism or that sort of thing. So at this point it's like you can either stop watching sports entirely or you can just kind of accept that this is going to be the new normal. You're putting your head in the sand if you think that it's ever going to go back to more of the way it was when these two things didn't interact as much.

History since 2020 has largely proven this correct; athlete activism has remained a prominent part of the sports landscape.

Using leverage to protest for change is the most American thing you can do

I'll always support the right to protest in this country. Being able to use your leverage and power to protest to try to enact change is kind of the most American thing you can do in my mind personally. It's why this country so great is that you have the ability to say, I don't agree with something, I want to change something.

This is an inherently subjective ideological opinion.

Sir Yacht's reporting on the Big Ten is completely fabricated

Sir Yacht is a choose-your-own-adventure source. He's wrong all the time, a hundred percent of the time. He pretty much makes it up. But if you want to live in a fantasy land like I do, listen to Sir Yacht and ignorance is bliss in this respect. I do love the fact that like twice a week the Big Ten comes back.

Sir Yacht was widely criticized by legitimate media for his inaccurate Big Ten 'scoops' during the pandemic.

NBA games will likely resume by Saturday following the protest

My sense is, the games will either begin Friday or Saturday. It's seeming more and more like Saturday because you want to give maybe these guys one more day of self-care and really practice for some of these teams.

The NBA games officially resumed on Saturday, August 29, 2020.

The Celtics are resetting this season to target Nikola Jokic in 2027

I think the Celtics are basically saying this year we're resetting and then next year maybe Jokic could definitely be in the be in the realm of possibility.

This is a long-term prediction for the 2027 offseason.

The Kawhi Leonard era with the Clippers was an absolute failure

The Clippers Kawhi era is maybe the most unforgettable or or forgettable, I'm sorry, era of all time. Like they did nothing. Just an absolute tease.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's tenure with a team.

France is playing the World Cup on 'easy mode' and looks unstoppable

France is just playing on easy mode. Like they're not even trying and they're just dummying people... France could have played with nine guys and they probably would've won that game.

This is a subjective observation of a team's dominance.
