Ridiculous also too, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.600 I want to give a shout out for some black 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.120 girl matter to Simone Biles. She wanted her seven US 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.359 all around title um in the Olympics today on the 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.599 uneven parallels. Oh my, if that wasn't the reenaction of 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.040 the of the Natia comedy she put baby that took 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:20.479 Natas flame. You remember Domini Na Nadia coma ni. Yeah, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.800 that's very seventies. If you a'll know nothing about that, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.560 watch the old commercial and say sports the Love and 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.719 Pain and the man flew out when he was skiing 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.760 and he flew off and died about twenty five flips 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.760 and crash and broke arms, legs and all that. Oh yeah, 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.120 I used to love to see that. Oh my god, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.480 you yeah, so shout out to Simone Biles because she's 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.880 making history. She's doing it despite you know, some of 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.840 the critics trying to move the goal line for us 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.960 and for her, I should say, and you know, kind 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.320 of just making it seem like they have to doll 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.640 down what she's doing. But she's phenomenal and black girl 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.800 magic all the way around. So for sure, that was 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.479 I shared that this morning on social media. It was amazing. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.719 I saw she was saying that. Shout out to her, 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.560 Shout out to another athlete, another female athlete. What's her 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.440 name was soccer? Naomi o Soccer. Yes, and she's we're 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.280 jumping into our first topic. Can I just say that 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.760 I really like this dress. I didn't see it until 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.000 I'm looking at it. No flame got dressed today, Oh 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:15.040 my goodness. This is the first so I got dressed 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.920 because last week, y'all know what, y'all got him here 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:23.400 today and Lauren Lauren's lacks today to somebody had to 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.560 show up to work. I show up, as you know, 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.040 the millennial of the group. So I stay on brand 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:36.000 with who I am for this show. You know, I 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.280 love that Lauren, when you sent the topics this week, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.160 talked mentioned Naomio soccer at the top um. It was 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:43.840 just I felt like the time you couldn't been better. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.280 I'm not sure if life imitates art or art imitates life, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.200 but you know, this past week I took a break 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.640 from social media because I just got inundated with a 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.280 lot of things I thought were just ridiculously negative. And 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.680 I remember flame stand early on Flames, like why do 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.720 you let this stuff bother you? You You don't know all 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.000 these people who follow you, But I think that what 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.200 bothers me about it. Just to be clear to those 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.800 who watched the show is I do feel an obligation 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.920 to those with whom we engage regularly. We asked him 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.520 to join, to watch the show, be part of the conversation. 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.280 So then when I get comments that I felt like 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.200 we're completely off brand about what it is we do 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.320 or why aren't you elevating, why don't you doing this 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.800 any other it bothered me because I feel like it's 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.480 not only about me. I think we really do try 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.920 our best to put together a product that we can 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.640 one be proud of, and to the way we try 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.280 to engage with people, so when it hit me that way, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.120 I said, you know what, flame, I'm really struggling here 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.079 in flames, like Nick, take a break from that, and 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.120 and and and that's exactly what I did, said, you know, 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.080 I'm just gonna put this down for a while, and 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.040 it just felt so much better. So then on the 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.760 heels of that, Lauren, for you to send uh Naomi 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:50.400 Osaka and for the round of criticism Naomi Osaka got 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.880 in the beginning for just simply saying, you know what, 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.440 this doesn't feel good to me. I'm not a professional speaker. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.199 I just want to come in and I want to play, 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.400 want to do my job job, but the questions that 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.640 come at me get in my head and they I 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.400 don't handle it like everyone else does. And then for 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.559 her to be roundly criticized for that, I just thought 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.240 it was another example of once again, in my opinion, 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.560 of a bias that still extends one of oun mental health. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.520 And then two people of color saying that, hey, I 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.120 need a little help here. Thank you Venus Williams for 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.000 your clap back. Thank you, thank you Venus Williams for 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.360 your clap back. Because while y'all judging me more than 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.640 half of y'all can't do what I do on the court. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.800 So I didn't say that exactly where she said it, 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.720 but she shaded the ship out of the media, and 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.679 I appreciate Venus Williams just for that. Thank you. I 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.160 did too, And I think that, you know, Nick, in 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.880 terms of the comments that we get on the show, um, 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.920 I've learned to take them with a grain of salt 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.959 to like, somebody called me Megan McCain last week and 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.240 I cracked the hell up. That's yeah, somebody called me 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.400 Megan McCain in the comments. So I think it's like, 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.160 take it with a grain of salt. And I've honestly 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.240 learned a lot of this too from Flame is that 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.880 you know, people have lots of things to say, but 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.439 at the end of the day, you're still watching the show. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.800 So it is what it is, you know what I mean. Um, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.760 But on the Naomi Osaka front, I also think that 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.280 I want to applaud her for understanding that she needed 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.600 to keep saying in order to do her job, because 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.760 I think in a lot of ways, you know, black 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.120 women specifically, we get criticized in these you know, large 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.240 arenas for how we act or you know, for our 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.520 attitude and these different things. You know, we've seen it 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.000 time and time again with Serena when she's you know, 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.120 at the French of the US French Open. You know, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.880 she's gotten criticized for yelling at the umpire because she 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.080 has to defend and saying, you know that she's not 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.959 being coached in the middle of her match, or when 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.160 she has an outpert at a press conference, it's, oh, 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.200 she's unprofessional, she's uncouth, you know, all of these negative, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.000 derogatory terms that the media puts out towards her. So 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.280 I want to applaud Naomi Osaka for saying that, you know, 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.160 I can't do this and taking the fine and then 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.719 ultimately saying, fine, I'm just gonna withdraw from even participating. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.080 You know. So she's a fabulous talent and she knows 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.520 what she needs and she did what she needed to do. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.480 So and for those who may be wondering what we're 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.200 talking about, if you're not familiar, uh, Lauren and I 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.720 opened the show talking about Naomi Osaka when she announced 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.640 Monday that she would withdraw from the French Open, just 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.320 days after tennis officials find her fifteen thousand dollars and 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.120 threatened to ounce her from the tournament for opting out 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:26.080 of its mandatory news conferences. Miss Osaka explained via Twitter 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.320 that speaking to the international media takes a heavy toll 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.080 on her mental health, compounding the anxiety inherent to Grand 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.560 Slam tournaments. What let me tell you what I love. 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.880 I love that she chose her integrity over the money. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.720 Find me. I'm pulling out because I'm talented enough and 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.840 I'm young enough. See, she ain't forty in tennis, She's 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.280 very young in tennis. So I can miss a year 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.600 because the money I'm still gonna make in my endorsement. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.080 Y'all missing out on watching me play as more so 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.720 than I'm missing out on playing. Because she's that young, 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.839 and she's that brilliant and that talented. Hats off to 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.520 And if more people would stand on their principle as 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.320 opposed to looking at that check, we will have moved 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.560 this needle just a little bit further. So whoever is 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.280 in her camp because she's a young woman advising her, 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.280 hats off to, who's ever advising her? Because I would 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:14.880 have told me the same thing. Kiss my dick in 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.719 the face. You're not gonna ask me no questions I 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.840 don't want to answer because I don't want to answer them. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.960 You're messing, you getting in my head. I got a 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.040 job to do, and as soon as I dropped the 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.280 ball at my job, you're gonna say, Oh, she wasn't ready, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.520 she wasn't good enough. But you have planted that in 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.800 my head. Remember I went back when I said, it's 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.080 what you take into your d n A some ship. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.720 I don't need to know. I don't want to know 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.640 because I don't want to have to think about it later. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.400 So good for you, Naomi. Tell tell him, I said, 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.880 Tell him that he she we said to funk off, 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.920 jump off a bridge with no water at the bottom. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.720 Tell you know here too. It's another example, Lauren, where 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.719 you and I have talked about this, how there was 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.520 an opportunity I felt there for also tennis and sports 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.800 to engage right and say, you know what, maybe we 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.600 need to look at how these athletes are being treated 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.160 and why fine immediately and not maybe saying you know what, whoa. 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.800 We didn't know that this was possible that some people 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.800 felt this way. What could we do to support this 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.360 person who is clearly a revenue stream for our industry 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.800 instead of chastising her, why don't we support her? And 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.400 it bothers me that that was not it appears that 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.559 that was never even part of the conversation. The conversation 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.440 was we're gonna find you if you're not here, and 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.320 then we you know, this is why you see my hand. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.200 What color is the inside of my hand? Because they 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.400 had they had it been this color as opposed to 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.640 this color, maybe that would have happened. Or I mean, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.200 we can talk about similarities in this situation. You know, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.800 Pierce Morrigan has been you know, has gone after Naomi 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.640 Osaka is talking crap about her and saying all these 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.560 different things. But I also read too, there's a Russian 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.680 tennis player that I was actually just arrested while she 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.760 was at the French Open because she was intentionally throwing 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.960 you know, matches to gain profit. But that's not a 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.680 headline conversation. It's the fact that you know, all of 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.720 these derogatory terms and talking crap about Naomi Osaka saying 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.640 that valuing my mental health, that's the big headline, you 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.120 know what I mean. So there's definitely showed himself. Pierce 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.040 Morgan wants to get showed himself to be one of 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.320 the most unpleasant people period. He enjoys beating up on women. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.480 We've seen this, and I agree with you on that, Nia, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.520 but let's call let's let me let me call it 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.040 out for y'all, since I don't want you all to 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.359 see because you're in the media and you you're professional. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.800 I'm not. Pierce Morgan has been angry every since. Every 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.000 black woman that he goes after shuns his ass. Sisters 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.600 don't won't you, player, fand you a white woman or 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.920 whatever you want, that won't you because the sisters keep 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.360 showing you that they don't want you. I Eh, Megan 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.000 Marco the Sparkle with the real black girl Magic. I'm 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.560 talking about with the real black girl Magic just had 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.440 another baby for the ex prince baby, and that baby 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.680 could be the President of the United States. And you 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.120 know they named the baby after Diana. The second name 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.720 is and the first name is is it Lizabeth little Bit, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.320 which is after the Queen And you know she's somewhere 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.120 kicking and ship out of somebody. You know, the Queen 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.040 man is here, that old whole kicking air body baby. 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.840 She mad as hell. Hats off to Harry and meg 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.720 If for having another healthy beautiful baby to bring it, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.480 and this baby could actually be the president of the 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.800 United States because this baby was born here in the 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.040 United States. Wouldn't that be you say, how Calma work around. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.760 Wouldn't it be something that Dela girl grew up to 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.720 be the president of the United States? Whoa the queen 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.160 would turn over a grave? Yes she would. She ain't 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:27.120 dead yet, but in about sixty years when yeah, well, well, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.480 I think to keeping in the lane of sports and 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.520 we can kind of segue into the next I don't 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:32.880 know if it's the next topic on the list, Nick, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.760 but that's what's at the forefront of my mind, is 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.640 that we also want to talk about the NBA and 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.520 what happened. Um has been happening during the playoffs with 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:45.440 um Russell rust Brook, UM, Trey Young, and um oh 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.120 Kyrie Irving too. So yeah, so at one of the 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.160 Brooklyn Nets games during the playoff, Kyrie Irving had a 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.720 water bottle thrown at him by a Celtics fan. Russell 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.640 Westbrook had popcorn dumped on his head during um A 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:02.880 Wizards in seventy sixers game. And then we had Trey 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.160 Young was actually spit on at an Atlanta Hawks playoff game. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.080 So then remember the parents of what's his name were 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.760 bullied in the stands, you know, young parents. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.880 yeah yeah. So there's been a lot of um, you know, 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.520 outcries for the NBA to do something and to actually 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.600 protect the players, and you know, Lebron James has come 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:27.120 out and made serious statements about what's happening, and other 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.600 NBA Playoffs players, excuse me, are saying like, what are 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.160 you guys going to do to protect us? Because people 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.520 have been locked up in their houses for a long time. Yes, 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.960 but it's interesting to see that the fans that are 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:42.720 really acting crazy are white. They are they're rich white 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.480 folks that kind of feel entitled. And I've read some 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.640 of the narratives, but they're saying that, you know, these 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.680 rich white folks are coming to the games, they're getting 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.440 drunk and just feeling entitled and are you know, basically 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.360 you know, costing these players. So what are you guys 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.440 going to do to protect them? Can I say something? 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.520 Where is la Trail Spreewell when we need his ass? 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.639 Because when I tell you, Latreil s freeware when it 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.800 came up out with the referee and anybody in his 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.520 way to get to whoever threw something hid? Where is 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.000 the trail spreewere when we need him? Well. The funny 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.400 thing too is I loved Russell westbrook statement of it's 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.959 interesting that you want to come after me and you 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.920 know an arena where I can't get to you, because 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.919 if we was on the street, you wouldn't be that 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.359 bold and you wouldn't know what it would have happened. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.359 So and a couple of players that made similar comments, 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.720 which I think it's true because I wouldn't want to 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.959 fight Russell Westbrook. He's crazy, so it's not even crazy. 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.080 The deal is you are a different person when you 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:38.520 will walk up to a grown man and throw a 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.439 bottle at him directly. I don't see that happening. So 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.160 throwing a bottle from the stands, like Flame likes to say, 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.479 is a coward move where you can throw and then 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.960 hide your hands. You know. Um. And even if let's 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.720 just be very clear, even if race we're not the 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.440 motivating factor, there's a level of privilege that just goes 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.919 behind something that allows you to feel like you can 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.440 and with impunity just throw something that people are spent 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.080 on somebody there, right, And like that that that I 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:09.800 don't have to worry about consequences. I don't have to 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.960 worry about anything because you are less than And this 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.200 is what I can do to you, uh, you piece 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.680 of property or you performer. Go dance, monkey, go sing, 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.360 go do whatever it is. I dance. We dribble that ball. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.159 Just shut up and dribble. I'm not up and dribble, right, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.680 that's what what's her name, Laura whatever from Fox said 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.520 and and and in the defense, and y'all know, I'm 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.040 never playing Devil's advocate. I feel how I feel. But 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.399 in defense of the other people who are doing who 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.639 are attacking about I don't even want to know that 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.680 it's think that it's all race. I think that because 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.719 some people are just fanatics about their teams, you know 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.760 what I mean, Like if you're a Lakers fan and 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.320 they're playing whatever, the riot of Lakers is, I don't know. Yeah, okay, 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.600 so some people are just real diligent about that. And 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.000 what he had to do with color, even if it 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.040 was a white boy that was on the opposite team. 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.080 Some people are like not meaning, but some are fanatics 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.440 like that, like religious In this particular instance, he had 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.480 this is what I'm going back to Lauren helped correct 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.919 me here. In this particular instance, he had stomped on 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.240 the logo before the game, right, and he used to 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.320 play for the Celtics. All that haven't been said had 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.639 he spat on the logo. I still don't think you 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.040 have a right to throw a bottle at him. And 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.119 I think that's where I'm like, I would have rather 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.919 be bottle then you spit on me, because if you 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.639 spit on me, it's the lowest form of disrespect that 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.760 you can ever do to another person. And I think 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.240 that's what the issue is, and that's why they're saying 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.440 that there's a race component here, because I don't know 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.360 of any like like you just said, you would never 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.760 spit on somebody. That's dehumanizing at the end of the day. 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.920 So I think that's why the race component is coming 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.760 into this, because it's it's white fans doing this. It's 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:45.840 not black fans. Like you may be a fan fanatic. 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.520 I understand that you've been locked up in the house, 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.840 but those aren't the personally. I have season tickets to 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:52.600 the Laker games, so I've been going to the Lakers 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.800 since they were at the form. Okay, I've been going 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.200 to games for years. It's always the crazy white people 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:58.960 at the game that have to end up being thrown out. 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.400 I'm just, I'm just that's what it is. And they're 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.000 getting drunk off the beer and they start acting crazy 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.760 and then you gotta call security and they gotta get 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.000 scored it out. That's just what happens. I'm gonna put 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.240 it in the air. I'm gonna put it in the air. 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.159 Y'all better stop, because you know, these basketball players have laughs, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.080 and they before they became professional, they were guys hanging 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.240 out on the street, hanging with their friends. When Pooky 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:21.960 Ray rating them is up in the stands and you 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.000 don't know that Pooky Ray rating them with them and 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.720
