You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. We are blowing up Jason Whitlock has got videos being watched by a quarter million people 20 minutes after he puts him up on YouTube.

You ever seen anything like the audience that we suddenly have on YouTube Jason Whitlock? It's it's going great. I hope that it you know continues.

You know I certainly know we're going to put the work out there and try to continue to grow this thing. I think as we talk privately we're water in the desert and people are here.

Hey, there's water over there at outkick and so people are hunting us down and finding it. Yeah, I totally I totally appreciated. I mean we added 20 some a thousand followers on our YouTube channel.

You can just type in outkick on YouTube and by the way, I appreciate all of you listening to the outkicks show right now on podcast or satellite radio or one of our 300 plus affiliates August the best month we ever had.

This is the final day of the month. Encourage you to go give us five stars. Go rate it. Go listen and subscribe to all of the podcasts out there. Jason Whitlock himself is going to have a podcast soon and it makes him nervous when I say it, but it's going to be wildly popular and you're going to make sure and want to make sure that you are going to be able to do it.

You're going to make sure that you are subscribed and not missing any of the episodes. All right. So precedent here. Your mom worked in a factory. Everybody out there just about listening to us has somebody in their family who has worked in a factory at some point in time.

In a factory labor employment relations. There's always that tension. Sometimes they walk out. Sometimes they're locked out strikes everything else.

I don't think most people realized how without precedent what we saw in sports over the past several days last week was we had athletes refusing to play their sport.

Not because of anything that had happened in labor relations or with management or anything else, but in fact only because they were upset by something that was going on in the larger world.

Now personally, I didn't like it regardless of what they're responding to because I don't like the precedent being set of hey, if I'm upset, I'm not going to go to work.

Hey, if I'm upset, I'm not going to go to school. That to me is the precedent that was set here and it also now opens the door. Basically anytime something happens that upsets athletes, they're just not going to show up for work.

And one thing here, I want to start with you Jason Whitlock. How does this play if there's actually fans present because that was one of my first thoughts like the Milwaukee bucks don't show up.

The magic are out warming up. They're ready for the game. The bucks refused to come out and play. There's a crowd there, but there's like 20 people there.

If that's happening inside of the Orlando, Magic Arena or inside of the Milwaukee bucks arena, how does the crowd respond? I'll tell you what I would think I would be like this stinks.

I just paid a lot of money for tickets. I probably would have one of my kids with me. I would have spent God knows how much on parking. I would have taken off potentially from work to be able to get them there.

And then boom suddenly the athletes decide they don't want to play and somebody walks out picks up a microphone and says, hey, the athletes aren't willing to perform tonight.

And so you have to just leave. There's not going to be a game. I think fans would have let the athletes have it in the arena. I think they would have booed.

I think that then would have gone viral. I think it would be hard for social media to be saying, oh my God, it's so brave of these athletes not to play. I want to start there.

What would this have been like if instead of being in the bubble with no fans, they're playing in an arena or in Orlando or in Milwaukee?

Yeah, I think the customers would have rightfully complained and booed and been very upset.
