1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: This may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: my life, and I don't believe this is going to

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: be the recipe for the Democrats to start winning back

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: young male voters. Okay, clearly bringing in Tim Walls didn't work.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: Quote America's football coach who comes out there doing a

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: chorus line and jazz hands. That didn't work. So there

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: are a group of liberals. They did some podcast and

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: they're claiming that the sport of football is fascist.

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: Football is this conservative coded there's no way around it.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: You also use a word near and dear to the

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: heart of this bastard over here, fascist and fascism. Any

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: rules or even guidelines for a sport should always be

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: built in to give the individuals freedom. We're watching the players,

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: so we want to see them have agency. We want

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: them to have autonomy. We look at basketball and we

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: go like, it should be like jazz, it should be free,

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: and it kind of almost gives us messages that's what

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: we want. And football is the exact opposite of that,

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: and the very controlled nature of football, it actually shuns individuality.

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: Everybody plays in a system. The system is designed to

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: control a lot of the players are interchangeable. Yes, bring

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: the chain out. Everything is so exact and measured, the

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: version of fascism that's embedded in football. It works in football,

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: just the idea that plays are sent in the radio,

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: in from the sideline, down from the press box. Oh,

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: most sort of corporate, hierarchical world.

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 3: Or it's just a fantastic effing game. And you're putting

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: way too much thought into that. I think one of

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 3: those guys is Chuck Klosterman, who's a longtime music critic,

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: he's an author. But I just come on, you're putting

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: exactly right. It's a wonder why most of a lot

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: of males voted for Donald Trump in twenty twenty four,

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: because guys like this are not endearing to your cause.

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: A football is fascist. It's only the most popular game

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: in American culture in terms of sports.

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Imagine watching that IU Miami championship game and they cut

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: to a shot of like the coordinator that's up in

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: the booth and he's calling in the play and thinking,

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, what an anti American fascist thing to do.

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: If that's what you took from that, that's why you

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: lost in a landslide in the election.

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: They're all in the same uniform and they're working in

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: unison and they don't they don't have free range to

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: operate independently, and they're all wearing cups and juck straps

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: and their cranks aren't allowed to float free in the

46
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: air either. It's just everything's restricted and I don't see.

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: A single woman competing against the men. What's wrong with

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: these guys? Fascists? It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.
