From how the disgruntled whites don’t want the players to be paid, how Black players are still seen as having “special gifts” rather than “rigorous training” and viewing players as commodities, to the bottom line that money runs the game – one thing becomes most certainly clear; the kids aren’t wrong, the rules are wrong.

No matter the subject, white people love getting into other people’s business. It’s almost as if white people believe they are the “Referees Of Reality”. In today’s episode, the 4 Sharks unite to vent on why it is white people always think they have this ability to ref everyone else’s choices. If you know the Sharks then you probably already know the answer, and you know it’s gonna be a laugh riot as our 4 favorite heroes tear into this meat. Co-produced & edited by Aaron C.
