He isn’t the one to call it out.

But damn.

Angel Reese comes out of this one looking pretty terrible.

Hypocrite much?
Watched a little of the morning shows this morning. First story the Knicks, I get that. 2nd story? This crap. Seriously you had the PGA championship yesterday and then the Thunder. It’s easy to see what’s going on here.

People care about this story.

Game 7 was an epic blowout and the favored team won. Had it been a competitive game, it would have been higher up the agenda.

She’s a terrible candidate to be anyone’s standard bearer. She’s very immature.

shadeur Sanders signed a 4 year 4.6 million deal with the Browns. Gabriel’s deal was 4 years 6.2 million.

I think it’s by design

Yea probably but still stupid. All she does by doing this is turn the stuff with her and CC to unnecessary race wars.

She’s a good player but this rivalry going to be dead by end of this season if her team continues to stink while the Fever make the playoffs and a likely run at a title

Having a rivalry with someone who plays a different position than you is also pointless as well

Probably not but for all we know they are friends. The social media aspect and money have just made things crazy.

That’s all media. ESPN stands out because they brought the model to sports.

This is a chicken or the egg topic. Is it the fault of media or is it our fault? Media does it because this stuff draws clicks, views, etc… Does media shape us or does media reflect who we are at our core? I don’t have an answer. It’s tough to determine where one ends and one begins.

I think it's some of both. People want to see controversy. The media is going to feed that for as long as they can.

Like the Eagles song says..."We love dirty laundry".

For the WNBA...it's good. People are actually talking about the league and watching. It's their version of Magic/Bird.

Maybe they'll do a commercial together and end up becoming best of friends? lol
