Summary

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.

1:06.0	standards, hypocrisy, the latest coming on the heels of Stephen A Smith's
1:11.5	comments as it related to Shohay O'Tani and the Nigerian
1:16.8	basketball team Stephen A Smith came out with an apology. It was only a week earlier that we had the Rachel Nichols, Maria Taylor
1:27.7	debacle at ESPN. But this really started a couple of years ago, and I want to first state,
1:35.0	I am not in favor of cancel culture.
1:40.0	I'm not in favor of cancel culture because I'm a victim of cancer culture that's number one and
1:45.1	number two I think it is flat out wrong I think it is a travesty and I think it's a real issue in this country and that's why I was so happy when Adam Silver came
1:58.8	out before game one and addressed it as it related to ESPN.
2:05.8	Now I don't think that there is a better example
2:11.2	of hypocrisy and double standards then E-S-P-N.
