1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Good mornings, sweet world, and welcome to the Nodunks podcast

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: on the Athletic Network. It's Thursday, August twenty seventh. I'm

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: Jay Skeets and joining us here. As always, we got Task.

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: Mellis, Good morning, everybody, morning.

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: Task, We got the Bearded one, Tray Herby.

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: Hey out Hey, hey oh.

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: We have the International Man of Mystery taking it to

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: the max. Got new headphones today, Lee Ellis, Friends, last Place,

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Double ears There Leo making the magic happen.

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: JD. Hello, there he is, and here we are.

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you all joining us today, whether you're

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: catching this live on YouTube or listening later to the podcast.

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. This one's obviously going to be

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: a little bit different. The NBA players made a very

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: loud statement On Wednesday. Three NBA playoff games were postponed

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: after players staged a walkout in protest over the shooting

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: of Jacob Blake by police officers in Wisconsin, and just

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: to try and put the focus back on social justice,

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: specifically police and systemic racism. The Milwaukee Bucks players led

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: the way they got safe to say, and later, standing

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: together outside their locker room, they read this statement, which

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: had specific demands, and I just wanted to really point

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: those out. They said, quote, we are calling for justice

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: for Jacob Blake and demand the officers be held accountable

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: for this to occur. It is imperative for the Wisconsin

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: State Legislature to reconvene after months of inaction and take

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: up meaningful measures to address issues of police accountability, brutality,

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: and criminal justice reform. We encourage all citizens to educate themselves,

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: take peaceful and responsible action, and remember to vote on

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: November three. It's worth noting that the Bucks players had

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: the full backing of team ownership, the players Association, the

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: NBA Coaches Association, and the referees, and not long after

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: other sports leagues followed suit WNBA, MLB, MLS players They

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: elected to not play in last night's games and match,

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: which is then later on Wednesday. Wednesday night, NBA players

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: and coaches, still inside the bubble, they held a meeting

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: to discuss what will come next and whether the season

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: will even resume. The meeting lasted about three hours. By

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: all reports, it ended ugly. According to Sham's Lebron said

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: he wanted more action from owners on racial justice matters

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: and was among those who walked out, and it sounds

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: as though the Lakers and Clippers, you know, they were

43
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: ready to maybe end this and pack their bags and

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: go home. Here's where we're at right now, the NBA's

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: board of governors and the players still inside the NBA's bubble.

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: They're each going to have their own meetings today at

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: eleven am Eastern, so about forty five minutes from now

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: when we're recording this, and they both are going to

49
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: try and figure out.

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: How to proceed.

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Obviously a pretty historic day in the NBA and really

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: across all sports. So yeah, sorry, we're not breaking down

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: the Celtics Raptors second round series here today. There's things

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more important than that. But a little

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: bit up to you guys tasks. You know, what was

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: your reaction to yesterday and where we go from.

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 5: Here out is very patriotic. I am just very very

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: proud of the Milwaukee Bucks stepping up and doing this

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: right off the bat when sort of no one really

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 5: expected that. People were talking about Thursday and the Celtics

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 5: and the Raptors doing that before their second round game,

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 5: and yesterday I questioned whether or not the Celtics and

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 5: the Raps walking away from a game would really resonate,

64
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 5: would really change anything in this world. But you can

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 5: see the momentum that happen. I thought it would sort

66
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: of be an isolated game, but WNBA shuts down. MLB

67
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: teams don't play. MLS teams don't play. Naomi Osaka of

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: tennis pulls out of her game. The NBA referees are

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 5: protesting this morning. They're walking around Disney, which is a

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: kind of a funny site. Let's be honest. They're walking

71
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: around the Disney resort with their coffees in hand. But

72
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 5: they are protesting. Everybody from all corners of the country,

73
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: from my perspective, should be protesting, and that's what makes

74
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: it strong and that's what can change. Has anything changed

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: as of yet, absolutely not. People are just gaining more

76
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: and more awareness. And as you said about the legislature

77
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: in Wisconsin, there has been a package that was introduced

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: a couple of months ago, which often happens in legislature,

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: it just sits there and no one approves it. But

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: that included some police reform, according to Ramona Shelbourne and

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: Wisconsin governor saying, hey, let's get back there to vote

82
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 5: on it because it's it's a scary time, and I

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 5: don't want to instill fear in people because that's what's

84
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 5: happening in this country. But this is about Jacob Blake.

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 5: In this instance, a man in Wisconsin who is shot

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 5: in the back, and somebody comes from another state. A

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: seventeen year old comes in and kills two protesters and

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 5: injures another, and that person is celebrated. So some people

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 5: are celebrating a murderer. Some people look at Jacob Blake

90
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 5: as somebody who should not be celebrated and not be

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 5: allowed or not be I guess back. So we're such

92
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 5: a divided country right now, and I think at this point,

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 5: the players are trying to speak for so many out there,

94
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 5: and it needed to be done. But it can't stop

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: with just these players. And I'm really looking forward to

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 5: the Board of Governors meeting that's going to be happening

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: in forty five minutes and whether or not there will

98
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: be tangible actions made about police brutality in this country.

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to. All of the.

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: Superfluous stuff, all the stuff of the talk around it,

101
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 5: it all comes back to police being able to get

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: away with whatever they want. And it's a country as

103
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 5: I brought up about the Jacob Blake and people celebrating

104
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: that young seventeen year old who came in with an

105
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 5: AR fifteen and shot a couple of protesters. Now there's

106
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 5: a video out there about federal authorities going out too

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 5: the streets of Kenosha, Washington or Kenosha, Wisconsin, like they

108
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: did in Portland, Oregon, where they're just grabbing people off

109
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 5: the streets because they're protests. I just I'm tying those together,

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: because is that a country you want to live in?

111
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: It's it's a it's just a point where we're sort

112
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: of we're slipping, and we're sliding here, and I'm I'm

113
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: proud of the players, and I hope this continues, not

114
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 5: just talks, but some action has to be done.

115
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: And so we're here at late August. We got down here.

116
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: I'm saying, we as a league here a couple months ago,

117
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: and nothing has changed as far as actual policy, and

118
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 5: there has been, you know, some small things, but things

119
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: have to change, and hopefully this is this is the

120
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: start again of things changing, right.

121
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they've had the statements. It's on the floor,

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: there's the jerseys, there's the tweets, there's the videos, But

123
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: at some point did it stop getting people's attention and

124
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: that maybe this will get everyone's attention.

125
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Maybe it won't. But Trey, why wouldn't you try?

126
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: Right?

127
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: I think that's what That's what my sort of takeaway.

128
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you try?

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Because like many of us, I think these players are

130
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what is the most effective way

131
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: to affect actual change here. And so if that worked

132
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: for a second and now it no longer does, well,

133
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: then what's the next step? And then what's the next step?

134
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: And what's the next step? But what was your takeaway

135
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: from yesterday?

136
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, George Hill had said previously that there's nothing we

137
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 6: can do in the bubble. We shouldn't have even come

138
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 6: down here, but that was apparently raw emotion because they

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 6: did a little bit more thinking, a little bit more talking.

140
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 6: Then George Hill led the charge for the Bucks to

141
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 6: strike for Game five against the Magic. You know, the

142
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 6: league is getting a little bit of credit for this,

143
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 6: the NBA for hopping in and saying that they were

144
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 6: going to be postponing the games.

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: But this is one hundred percent.

146
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 6: A player led action here, and it's the loudest action

147
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 6: they could possibly make there, Like you're saying, they knew

148
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 6: that there wasn't a lot that they would be able

149
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 6: to physically do. From the bubble and wearing T shirts,

150
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 6: putting names on the back of jerseys, putting Black Lives

151
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 6: Matter on the court, it can only take you so far.

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 6: It was a big story for maybe the first week

153
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 6: of the bubble, and then people have moved on. If

154
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 6: you want to be loud, if you want to unify,

155
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 6: and you use your platform, this is a great way

156
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 6: to do it.

157
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: You know, the NBA players.

158
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 6: Right now are probably the most visible, most skilled black

159
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 6: men in the world, considering there's not a lot of

160
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 6: entertainment going on. People are out on tours or on

161
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 6: red carpets. So NBA players have an incredibly loud voice

162
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: and they're once again figuring out how to use it.

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 6: And you know, people are saying, what's the plan, what's

164
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 6: the plan? What's the plan. The first part of the

165
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 6: plan was raising awareness with shirts and all of the messaging,

166
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 6: and that didn't go far enough. So the second part

167
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 6: of the plan is striking to show people that we're serious,

168
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 6: that there are things more important about basketball that need

169
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 6: to change. And now they're going to figure out the

170
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 6: rest of the plan. The first part of it apparently

171
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 6: is going to be trying to get the legislator back

172
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 6: to vote on these reform bills. For the record, I

173
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 6: don't think police reform actually works. These are fine things

174
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 6: to add, but there are more drastic steps that need

175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 6: to be taken to dismantle the police forces in our

176
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 6: country because they've been trying to form police since police started.

177
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 6: So I don't know how it's gonna work now, but

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 6: at least they're trying something, and at least people are

179
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 6: talking again. It went from one game to suddenly three

180
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: games to who knows what's gonna happen today. All of

181
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 6: these other sports are following the lead, just as they

182
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 6: have done in the past.

183
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, we're waiting on these two meetings, and we

184
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: might jump back on later today tonight when we have

185
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: a clearer picture of what happens in these meetings. If

186
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: anything does the Board of Governors and then the players again,

187
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: I would guess we're not seeing any more basketball today. Again, Ley,

188
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: I think I don't think I'm that's a that's a stretch.

189
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm reporting it by any means, But I don't think

190
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna see in the teams that were scheduled to

191
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: play today be playing at all as well.

192
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 7: No, I think that's true. I think probably through the

193
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 7: weekend as well, but who knows. We'll wait and find out.

194
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 7: But what I really respect and admire about Lebron James

195
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 7: and Giannis Sante Takoupo and the Bucks and all the

196
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 7: teams down there is they have something to play for

197
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 7: right now. There's a championship back on the line, and

198
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 7: Lebron James, you know, we talk a lot about legacy

199
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 7: and championships and things like that. That and Yannis was

200
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 7: just awarded Defensive Player of the Year and maybe MVP

201
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 7: as well. They've got a lot here in terms of

202
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 7: their professional career that they could be playing for. But

203
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 7: right now, instead of chasing that dream, they fear there

204
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 7: is something a bigger message to send. And I think

205
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: that takes That's why I admire these guys, because they

206
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 7: aren't just talking about it. They're trying to be about it.

207
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 7: They're trying to actually take some action that could potentially

208
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 7: change things around. And I think that's it because the

209
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 7: messaging is right. When the first messaging came out, it's like, oh,

210
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 7: look at the court. Black lives matter now it just

211
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 7: kind of blends into the games that we watch. So

212
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 7: the next step is for these players to actually say,

213
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 7: you know what, I'm going to put the basketball down

214
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 7: here and try to do something that helps a lot

215
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 7: more people who are maligned and suffer at the hands

216
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 7: of police brutality that just goes unnoticed because these things

217
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 7: that we've seen, going back to George Floyd, Floyd and others,

218
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 7: of course, if there wasn't video of those things, they

219
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 7: would just be written off as a deaths in custody,

220
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 7: and that's it. No one really knows too much about

221
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 7: it. It's by seeing these videos and seeing the footage of

222
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 7: just how awful and just how vile the police are

223
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 7: treating largely black men and women, it brings a lot

224
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 7: more realism to it. And I think that's excuse me,

225
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 7: That's what's significant here, is that these incidents have been

226
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 7: going on forever, just so many of them don't get

227
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 7: seen and don't get video footage, so police get away

228
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 7: with it. And so I think when you see incidents

229
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 7: like the one with Jacob Blake, the policeman that shoot

230
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 7: him do so knowing that there's very little repercussions that

231
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 7: happened in the past, so why would they start happening.

232
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 7: And I think a step like this from the NBA

233
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 7: to say, you know, we all love basketball, and for us,

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 7: we make our living off basketball, but it's so much

235
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 7: more important that people can go about their lives without

236
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 7: having to worry about being shot for a relatively minor incidence.

237
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 7: And I think, as a white person myself, I believe

238
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 7: that I define white privilege. I've grown up in a

239
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 7: life where I've been able to travel around the world.

240
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 7: I've been able to go and rent apartments, I get

241
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 7: a job without any problems, I can travel late at

242
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 7: night on public transport, and I never ever have to

243
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 7: fear that police might just shoot me for doing mundane activities.

244
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 7: But for a lot of black people, especially in this country,

245
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 7: they live with that fear every day that they could

246
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 7: just get shot and murdered for really no reason. And

247
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 7: Robert Horry, the former Lake a great He had a

248
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 7: really emotional peace last night, and he was talking about

249
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 7: his kids and saying, you know, when the police are

250
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 7: out there, like it was actually really disturbing for me

251
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 7: to watch because he was basically saying, lie down if

252
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 7: you have to let them kick you and beat you.

253
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 7: As long as they don't shoot you, things will be okay.

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 7: And that to me, like I just couldn't sort of

255
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 7: hold it in any longer because it's like he's saying

256
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 7: to his kids, basically, it's okay if you get beaten

257
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 7: up by the police, just don't get shot by them.

258
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 7: And that, to me, I mean, is just incredible that

259
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 7: that's the sort of bar that he has to put

260
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 7: to his kids to say, you know, put up with that,

261
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 7: that's okay, rather than you know, I'd rather that and

262
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 7: rather you go to hospital than we have to bury you.

263
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 7: And I think that's just incredible that that's the life

264
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 7: that he has to leave, or that he has to

265
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 7: sort of tell his kids that it's okay with because

266
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 7: that is not acceptable at all. And it's just again,

267
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 7: as a white person, I have never had to suffer

268
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 7: or fear like so many black men and women and

269
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 7: people of color around the world. And to sort of

270
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: see things like this happen now where the players are

271
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 7: prepared to actually put their careers and their legacies on

272
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 7: the line, really to me shows just how important it

273
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 7: is that this issue gets dealt with immediately.

274
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, Reportedly, Lebron wants to put pressure on the

275
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: owners to use their wealth and their political influence to

276
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: ensure some changes here in favor of social justice. And

277
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I think what you see a media is well, what

278
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: are the owners going to do? That's what you see.

279
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: That's the blowback? What does this evening? And then what

280
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: are the owners going to do? That is so weird

281
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: to me because these owners, they twist arms, they make

282
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: deals to get arenas built. These are billionaires, okay, often

283
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: with taxpayer money. By the way, talk is public holding money.

284
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: How Why is it that far fetched to believe they

285
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: can't use influence on other things on social issue issues

286
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: such as police reform, like specific specific things or you

287
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: know whatever, tangible things. That's totally reasonable to me, it

288
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: really is. So I hope you know again, this league

289
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: has been pretty uh, pretty impressive in terms of the

290
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: players association in the league itself in solidarity for a

291
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: good chunk of this. I'll say that needs to continue.

292
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: But they can't can't just be a Twitter statement anymore.

293
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's great, awesome. You stand with them, you're

294
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: you're with them, They're in the corner.

295
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: Now what now?

296
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Now? Use that wealth use that really that influence, that

297
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: power that you have to do to do something, and

298
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: I think that's a I mean, I'm praying that's what

299
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: comes out of the both of these meet of course today,

300
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: and there is something moving forward again we will see.

301
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: I saw the stat that there are twenty two billionaires

302
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 6: who own at least twenty percent of an NBA team.

303
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 6: Money talks. There is a family that owns an NBA

304
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: team that is part of the presidential cabinet. There are

305
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 6: team owners who are chummy with Jared Kushner. Adam Silver

306
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 6: is chummy with Jared Kushner. There are people who can

307
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 6: put pressure on the people in power to actually make changes,

308
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: and they need to do it.

309
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: I agree with that.

310
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: Sorry, I would think this Board of Governor's meeting, it

311
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 5: sure feels like is somewhat unprecedented, stemming from something that

312
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: the players are are asking for. This walkout was unprecedented,

313
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 5: and then and now because of as a result of it,

314
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: these Board of Governors are meeting. So yeah, ideally something

315
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: unprecedented comes out of that in that they do pressure

316
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: their local governments, their state governments, and we see at

317
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 5: least people come to the table to discuss these issues.

318
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: But how long do the players have to sit out

319
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 5: for that are there?

320
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Is?

321
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: There just going to be more legislature, more bills that

322
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: are presented as potential, whether it be police reform or

323
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 5: whatever it is. Those things won't get signed for months.

324
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 5: I just wonder how long this goes. But at the

325
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 5: same time, the last thing where the Board of Governors

326
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: met in sort of an emergency mode, I suppose was

327
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: the Donald Sterling incident. Unless I'm missing something in between,

328
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 5: this feels it definitely feels like the players are doing

329
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: something that hasn't resulted in anything concrete, no doubt, but

330
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 5: the meeting feels I mean, you guys tell me it

331
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: does feel like it is something that's happening for the

332
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: first time.

333
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

334
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Again, I think we just have to wait and see

335
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: what comes out of this meeting. I mean, this is

336
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: this is wild. I tweeted this a month ago, a

337
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: month and a day ago, and I wrote, I just said,

338
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: serious question. I was linking to an athletic article about

339
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Lebron being upset of the cops not being arrested in

340
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: the killing and Breonna Taylor. But I said, quote, what

341
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: would happen if Lebron flat out refused to play hoops

342
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: until they arrested the cops who killed Breonna Taylor. I

343
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: was just asking, I was curious, what would the Lakers do,

344
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: how many players would join in the protests, what would

345
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: Adam Silver say? And you know, again, now flash forward

346
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: a month from that, this is sort of where we're

347
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: at here. This is what it feels like, especially after

348
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: what we got the news from last night, with Lebron

349
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: really being very adamant that things need to happen. The

350
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: owners in Silver need to do something here, and we

351
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: might find out we might actually get the answers to

352
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: some of those crazy questions, which I thought were sort

353
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: of wild at the time, but I was just throwing

354
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: it out there because like, wow, these I mean, Lebron,

355
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: of all people in the NBA, has the most power.

356
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

357
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 6: Fred van Vliet had said right that at some point

358
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 6: we have to put our nuts on the line.

359
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 4: Yeah.

360
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 6: What Lebron and the Lakers and the Clippers did allegedly

361
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 6: is to me them literally putting their nuts on the line,

362
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 6: saying we're ready for this to go as long as

363
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 6: it needs to go until there are changes. I don't

364
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 6: think it's a shock that it came right before the

365
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 6: Board of Governors are going to be having there meeting.

366
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 6: It seems like a negotiation tactic, saying, yeah, we're in

367
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 6: for the long haul. We understand that this is not

368
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 6: going to change in the course of twelve hours, but

369
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 6: we want to see some sort of action in the

370
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 6: course of twelve hours or you guys are going to

371
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 6: be taking a major hit in your pocket box and

372
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 6: we know that that's mainly what you care about.

373
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, that I think is what is significant here that

374
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 7: Lebron is going to basically call their bluff today and

375
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 7: he's saying, if you think this is I'm just here

376
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 7: saying this and I'm going to just come back on

377
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 7: the court without any real change, that's not going to happen.

378
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 7: So he's saying to the owners, these billionaires who have

379
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 7: all this money and this power, that you say their

380
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 7: skeets do something with it, or else I'll have to

381
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 7: do what I can. And Lebron understands he has power,

382
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 7: he has leverage because he is still the face of

383
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: the NBA. And him walking out last night, according to

384
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 7: the reports there, I think is him saying, if you

385
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 7: guys think that I'm just doing this for show, then

386
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 7: you'll find out in the next couple of days, because again,

387
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 7: he's got so much at stake in the basketball world

388
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 7: right now, you know, to try to win that championship

389
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 7: that we always thought, and he's prepared to sacrifice that.

390
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 7: I think that is very, very significant. He plays for

391
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 7: the Lakers, too. This is not when he's on a

392
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 7: smaller team like the Cavs. This is a big team.

393
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 7: He's putting it out there to say, I'm prepared to

394
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 7: give up on this season if that's what it takes.

395
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 7: And I think that's very, very powerful.

396
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: While we applaud Lebron and the Bucks and all the players,

397
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: let's not forget Kyrie Irving was saying this months ago

398
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: really to some extent here, and that is I'm not

399
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: knocking Lebron. I mean, Lebron has has changed his tune

400
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's fine, that's human. You can

401
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: do that. He thought he was saying, we can do both.

402
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: We can play basketball and we can bring awareness to

403
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: this and try and make change. And now it feels

404
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: like he's saying, well, that's not working. Maybe I was wrong,

405
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: and maybe we have to go to the next level here.

406
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Andrea Goodala too.

407
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: Earlier on Wednesday, he said, quote, when you talk about

408
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: boycotting a game, everyone's intenna goes up. And it's sad

409
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: that you have to make threats like that. I wouldn't

410
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: say threats, but you have to be willing to sacrifice

411
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: corporate money for people to realize there's a big note there.

412
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: Andrigud knows what's up. He knows the game here, and

413
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: that's what this is, what it is. Let's uh, they

414
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: don't care about black people's lives being taken from them,

415
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: and they'll care about their money.

416
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: They might, or we will find out.

417
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: If they do, and they probably will, so I hope

418
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: they will if it takes not Jesus. It's embarrassing, but

419
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: still anything to make some change here.

420
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 5: It's unfortunate that this is seems seems to be on

421
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 5: the players shoulders, and only sport athletes shoulders here in

422
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 5: the US AT and yeah.

423
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 2: That's very fair and it's not.

424
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 4: But they step up every single time.

425
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 6: That's the amazing thing is that the players step up

426
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 6: every single time, and then the NBA hops in to

427
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 6: kind of co opt the movement so that they get

428
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: h street cred basically for being the woke league and

429
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 6: in honesty it's one hundred percent the players that are

430
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 6: driving this conversation at any point in the movement, right

431
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 6: because the league was ready to play that playoff game yesterday.

432
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 6: They were ready to go five minutes before the tip

433
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 6: and the Bucks said we're not doing it.

434
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: So major shout out to the Bucks.

435
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 6: That's amazing to put your to put your money where

436
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: your mouth ist and to show that you're one hundred

437
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 6: percent about it.

438
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

439
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: I never ever accept anyone talking about the NBA, you know,

440
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 5: without including the players in the sentence. The players are

441
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 5: the league. The league is the players. The players make

442
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 5: this league happen.

443
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: They are what we watch, They are our entertainment.

444
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 5: And yes, the bri the split between the basketball related

445
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 5: income is approximately fifty to fifty.

446
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: That's the way the money works.

447
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 5: But the players make everything go and they made the

448
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 5: Bilwaukee Bucks made that meeting happen with the Attorney General

449
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: of Wisconsin when they were in that locker room after saying, hey,

450
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 5: we're not playing this game, they got the attorney general,

451
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 5: the top cop of their state on the horn along

452
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 5: with the lieutenant governor of their state to try and

453
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 5: enforce change and try and make change happen in their state.

454
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: That's who did it.

455
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 5: And the commissioner is always going to work for the owners,

456
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 5: and the owners are always going to try to make money.

457
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: It's the play and the people of this country as

458
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 5: an extension that are going to make the change. So

459
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 5: they're trying to pull and the players have to pull

460
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 5: every person from every corner of this country to try

461
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: and make it happen. And it was it was very

462
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 5: very promising, very pleasing for me to see, you know,

463
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 5: a bunch of other athletes as we said, you know WNBA, MLB,

464
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 5: MLS joining forces and now the referees and apparently the

465
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: coaches are are on a march here if we're following

466
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 5: the YouTube chats correctly, if those are are right. But

467
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 5: as Chris Webber so eloquently put yesterday on TNT, do

468
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 5: not stop. Nobody stopped. It may not be able. You

469
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: may not be able to see something tangible here at

470
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 5: the end of the tunnel. You may not be able

471
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: to see it. Of course, that's that's the nature of

472
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 5: civil rights movements.

473
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: But do not stop.

474
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: Everybody cannot stop throughout this country to try and change it.

475
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 5: And as I outlined, it's it's a slippery slope we're

476
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: on now. It's not just it's not just about one

477
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 5: person being shot in Wisconsin. It's yeah, that man, Jacob,

478
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 5: Jacob Blake was shot there. But the names you know,

479
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: Flando and Sandra and Trayvon, they don't stop. It does

480
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 5: not stop, and either can people in this country. They

481
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 5: they cannot stop as well. So, yeah, the athletes are

482
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 5: putting their necks on the line at this moment in

483
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 5: this instance, but it's up to the country. It's up

484
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 5: to the country to follow along and and hopefully this

485
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 5: isn't just a story that just fades away with, you know,

486
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 5: a headline and then it goes away. But I'm not

487
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 5: sure what you guys think about them at this point

488
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 5: potentially walking out of the bubble and saying goodbye to

489
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 5: the rest of the season. It seems like they're in

490
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 5: a negotiation phase. But what do you guys think about

491
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 5: them potentially leaving the bubble as a form of protest.

492
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 7: That's yeah, that's a that's a very very interesting question

493
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: because I feel that they've made they've they've played a

494
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 7: hand yesterday and they said we are prepared to do this,

495
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 7: So I think they need to give a little bit

496
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 7: of time for things to perhaps change as far as

497
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 7: or arrest some people and show that things are happening.

498
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Well, they need demand, they need to they need to

499
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: make demands and see, unless this, this, and this happen.

500
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: Yes we are not playing.

501
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 7: But they also then have to give that a few

502
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 7: days at least to happen. So in them in the

503
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 7: short term, I believe they can still continue to play,

504
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 7: and then if they see those demands being met, then

505
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 7: perhaps they can continue. If they feel that those demands

506
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 7: are being ignored or being blown off or being you know,

507
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 7: not not actually not being taken, then they can say

508
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 7: we warned you, Now we're out and we're done, and

509
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 7: don't don't give you think.

510
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 6: They should go back to playing and then walk off again.

511
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 6: That doesn't make any sense to me. I think it's

512
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 6: going to be a we sit until our demands are met,

513
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 6: or at least until we have some sort of plan

514
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 6: for our demands being met, going back to playing and

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 6: then stopping again.

516
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: That doesn't make a whole bunch of sense.

517
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 7: Well, I think it does, because I think they've shown

518
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 7: that they are prepared to walk out, and they stopped

519
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 7: playing yesterday, and so they've said this is basically your

520
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 7: first warning. We want to see these demands get met.

521
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 7: In the meantime, while while there's again a few days,

522
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 7: a week, or whatever it long takes to show some progress,

523
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 7: they can continue to play, showing that we will play

524
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 7: if these demands are being met. If they're not being met,

525
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 7: then they walk out again. I think it's fine to

526
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 7: at least say we're not messing around here, we aren't playing,

527
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 7: So go out there and get things done, and in

528
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 7: the meantime we'll continue to play otherwise, and then in

529
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 7: a week's time or so we'll readdress it.

530
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look again, the reports of the Lakers

531
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: and Clippers were the two teams that I guess, you know,

532
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't an official vote, but they were leaning towards

533
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: we're done and this is over, and let's get out

534
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: of here and actually try and make some real change

535
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: back in our own communities, Whereas it sounds like a

536
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: lot of the other teams that are still down there

537
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: were in favor of continuing I guess to play. I

538
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: assume still with things being met, demands being met. I

539
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: assume that again we don't know, and I think we're

540
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna have some more clarity after these two meetings today.

541
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 3: But Trey, what okay, So what do you think?

542
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, we have no idea, But what do

543
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: you think happens here next after these meetings? Do you

544
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: think are the chances of us continuing the season high?

545
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 5: Low?

546
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: What?

547
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: I mean again, it's a bit of a guess. But

548
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: what's your gut say?

549
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: I mean, who knows?

550
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 6: I would imagine we don't have games today, is the

551
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 6: only thing that I could really guess with any sort

552
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 6: of confidence. It doesn't seem like a plan will be

553
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 6: able to put together in the course of you know,

554
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 6: twenty four hours from when the strike started to when

555
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 6: the next set of games are supposed to start.

556
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

557
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 6: I feel like it's probably gonna be similar to when

558
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 6: the restart was first getting going, and you know, it

559
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 6: was kind of like players were making their own decisions

560
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 6: about whether or not they felt safe coming to the

561
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 6: bubble or whether they would want to devote their time

562
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 6: to social justice initiatives. So I would imagine that, you know,

563
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 6: some players will want to leave the bubble to go protest.

564
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 6: We saw Jalen Brown was tweeting about that everybody knows

565
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 6: that the Bucks were the first team in the league

566
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 6: to organize.

567
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: A march in Milwaukee.

568
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 6: So there are certainly going to be players who are

569
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 6: called to protest and called to the streets. So I

570
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 6: would imagine that some players will leave the bubble at

571
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 6: some point. Surely the governors are going to want to

572
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 6: figure out a way to make this happen, so they

573
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 6: will hopefully do everything in their power to answer some

574
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 6: of the demands that the players make. But the players

575
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 6: need to get together, which they're surely doing, and figure

576
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 6: out what exactly demands they want to make.

577
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 4: People are probably still wanting.

578
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 6: To play to finish out this season, no doubt about it,

579
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 6: but there are bigger things on their mind. It's hard

580
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 6: to really to really guess if they're going to want

581
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 6: to come back and play when we're just hearing that

582
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 6: they don't even know if they want to come back

583
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 6: and play. They don't know how to compartmentalize this. Not

584
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 6: everybody is able to separate what's going on in the

585
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 6: streets with what's going on on the basketball court.

586
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all of these players are going to have

587
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: a different opinion on what's right or wrong for them

588
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: and their family and how they think change can happen

589
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: and that's like how it should be. You know, they're

590
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: obviously a union and there's power and you know, solidarity,

591
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: but they're all individuals and they're all going to come

592
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: at it a different way. But it's been interesting to

593
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: see the reports of like who's spoke in this meeting,

594
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: right last night's meeting at least Eudonnis Haslam and Jalen

595
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: Brown and you know.

596
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: The Bucks.

597
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: Almost it sounded like having to like, and I don't

598
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's fair, but almost having to apologize I guess

599
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: to other teams and maybe the union of like, you know,

600
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: you sort of went rogue and we did we could

601
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: have done this together, but you know, I quite frankly

602
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: think that's a little silly. And this is like it

603
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: hits home to the Bucks too, not only because Jacob

604
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: Blake was shot in their own state, you know whatever,

605
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: it was forty miles from Milwaukee, but this is an

606
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: organization that has been one that has pushed changed and

607
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: put actions behind their words. They've had former players in

608
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: John Hen racially profiled, current player and Sterling Brown beaten

609
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: and attacked by the police over what was it a

610
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: parking violation. So you know this obviously it is hits

611
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: home for a lot of these players, eighty percent of

612
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: the league being black. But yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

613
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't have much more else to add. Again, we

614
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: might be back later today. I guess the only thing

615
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: I would say is you were talking about Robert Horry

616
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: and him on Spectrum. I guess it was in La

617
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: speaking from the heart, and I mean, it's it's heartbreaking

618
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: to see and watch Chris Webber, you guys said too,

619
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: and just incredibly eloquent and breaking down of like and

620
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: just his energy and his passion.

621
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 3: To like keep going.

622
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: I thought the entire NBA TV crew did an unbelievable

623
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: job yesterday afternoon when this was all breaking, when we

624
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: not when we saw the game was not going to

625
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: be happening. Sam Mitchell was preaching on that station, and

626
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: just everybody did incredible job. And then Kenny Smith last

627
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: night walking off you know, the set of Inside on

628
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: TNT there in solidarity with the players. Yeah, that's really all.

629
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to add anything, tasks.

630
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, just to throw in there. I know there was

631
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 5: some chatter that other teams and Lebron specifically his name

632
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 5: was thrown out there were angry with the Milwaukee Bucks

633
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 5: for stopping playing, for going yeah, quote unquote rogue and saying, hey,

634
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 5: we're not gonna play our game. I just find that hilarious.

635
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 5: It's what are we waiting for? What are they waiting for?

636
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: What are we going to wait for? A signed agreement

637
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 5: here for all of us to start protesting? Do we

638
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 5: see what's happening out there? I mean, it just doesn't

639
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 5: make any sense to just sit around and wait. There's

640
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 5: absolutely nothing to wait for. There's people dying from the pandemic,

641
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: there's a hurricane coming, people who lost their jobs.

642
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: It's just there's school scan open. I just don't understand this.

643
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we could have made a stronger I guess the

644
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 5: argument is we could have made sent a stronger message

645
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 5: if it was all whatever eleven teams that are still there.

646
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 5: You send a message by walking out, and they sent

647
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: that message, and now things have to happen, and it's

648
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 5: up to everybody out there listening if they want to

649
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 5: vote and change things in their own state and their

650
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: own local governments. It's fairly important because there's all those

651
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 5: things that I just mentioned about one hundred and eighty

652
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 5: thousand people being dead and schools aren't opening. And those

653
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 5: things aren't on the agenda of the administration at hand

654
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 5: right now. They're having a party right now. So I

655
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: would look into how you vote a vote dot org.

656
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: It's pretty freaking important, and so people, I have no

657
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: idea how you can be mad at the bucks. I

658
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 5: just have no clue how you can really say that

659
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 5: and say, hey, won't just send me a note before

660
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 5: you decide to be patriotic.

661
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 8: I find that Bogus trey Lea, like Chris Weber said,

662
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 8: everybody always says the vote, you got a vote, But

663
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 8: you can't just vote and walk away.

664
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 6: There's more to do besides just showing up at the

665
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 6: ballot box. That's an important first step, but there are

666
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 6: people with a lot of money and money can really

667
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 6: make some changes in our country.

668
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 4: That seems to be the way to make changes.

669
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 6: I would also add listen to the Athletic NBA Show

670
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 6: with Sam Amick and David Aldridge. Some incredible, just an

671
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 6: incredible piece of work from those guys, and hearing David

672
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 6: Aldridge speak from his heart from his experiences is really

673
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 6: really powerful. And I mean, I don't know, there's just

674
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 6: a lot of things you can read about a lot

675
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 6: of listening. You can do a lot of learning you

676
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 6: can do right now, and that's what we should all

677
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 6: be doing, and we should all just keep fighting. You know,

678
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 6: the protests, the George Floyd protests were not covered as

679
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 6: much as they were back in May, no doubt about it.

680
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 6: But this has reignited the talk about social justice and

681
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 6: racism in our country. So just take the opportunity to

682
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 6: continue to educate yourself and do what you can to

683
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 6: fight in justice.

684
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is all about racism. And there's a racist

685
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 7: in the White House. Vote him out as quick as

686
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 7: you can, get rid of him, because right now he

687
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 7: doesn't care. He doesn't care. He's shown that this is

688
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 7: not an issue for him. So get rid of the

689
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 7: get rid of the fascist in the White House. That's

690
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 7: one start. So go to the voting box and vote

691
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 7: as best you can and make sure your vote counts.

692
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's call it there here today again. We

693
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: might be back later today, emergency podcast, whatever you want

695
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: Governor's meeting, after the player's second meeting there down in

696
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: the bubble, and whether the season continues, whether it doesn't.
