Show Notes
So Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA, tees it all up last week in addressing the significance of all lives being important and walks back a year's worth of comment, criticism and cancellation of so many personalities. Present company included I might add. He goes on to say nobody should lose their jobs, their livelihoods over it. Again, present company has had the experience along with many others this past year. And then we have ESPN hosts being terminated on one hand and other hosts, like Steven A. Smith rattling off what has cost others their jobs. I just don't get it. The NBA, ESPN and other media outlets just can't seem to get it together. Can't seem to make a rule and stick to it. Where does that leave us going into the second half of the year? Where are we as a country headed? Is this what it's going to be like going forward? I for one, sure hope not. After you've had a chance to listen to this podcast, let me know your thoughts.
