Apr 9, 2021 BRETT: It’s an incredible thing to watch what’s played out just in the world of sports in the last four or five years, obviously starting with the controversy surrounding the taking of the knee by Colin Kaepernick. You watched rank hypocrisy as the NBA found itself front and center in the midst of controversy involving the support of Hong Kong protesters and the desire by the NBA to cozy up to communist China. We’ve even just watched, obviously, what’s happened with Rob Manfred pulling the All-Star Game all of Atlanta. There are stories aplenty to go around in this regard. I want to stay with the NBA component, though, if we can. Because I’m old enough to remember 2019, when there was quite the back-and-forth on whether or not you were going to see truth being spoken to power by the super-woke league of the NBA.
