might be the worst take ever.

according to dg...the entire college system would collapse without the major college sports money. so the athletes are idiots if they dont wanna go out there still unpaid and put their health/career/lives on the line...even as countless athletes are already testing positive across the country.

listen to the pure hatred and disdain in his voice. he really thinks hes on the right side here?

and to seem like a complete asshole while doing it. I can’t stand that guy.

And given opportunity over and over and over again to do so.

college football twitter/messageboards are just disgusting right now.

the idea that if these athletes are 'fucking pussies' if don't get out on the field and entertain me as i sit on the couch is just beyond my level of comprehension.

shit, sociologically, and adding the online element to it been some shit since day one.

helpful to me to know how white ppl really think about their 'heroes' on the field.

the talking head / sportshow and newspaper columns just give the sanitized version of that worldview.


peace & blessings,

I'm an advocate for working smarter, not harder. If you just
focus on working hard you end up making someone else rich and
not having much to show for it. (c) mad

we really shouldn't amplify people like Doug Gottlieb. even on little ole OKS.

him and Clay Travis, and the rest of their ilk, live for this kind of attention because they either believe their own outlandish shit or to appeal to their brand army of racist, moronic followers (probably both aspects are true).

turning their takes into conversations or dunk contests just feed the idea that their opinion matters, so they will continue. their worst fear is to be ignored.

> Clay Travis

You're encouraging people to ignore those guys.

That doesn't make you a hypocrite by any stretch. You're addressing the response to those guys, not those guys.

It's just a guess, but I bet they really hate those.

like...it has to be some long term joke. How can two guys be so consistently full of shit and on the wrong side of everything?

like please stfu nothing is gonna change if/when sports return.

everyone is still gonna hate each other. you're just a selfish entitled fuck who demands to be entertained at any cost.

...existed. No cultural strife in this country at all pre-COVID. Nope.

These guys are fucking idiots.

That's why players NEED to keep bringing up social justice and ignore the willfully ignorant that complain about "injecting politics into sports".

Politics is in everything!

So yeah, open the leagues back up but point people right back to what's really important.

He's not only flipping out about the economics of this, he's calling him an idiot, telling him to shut up and let the adults speak, let the people who know what's going on speak.

Conversely, he spent like 35 seconds addressing COVID, and even then, he did so in such a dismissive, "no big deal" sort of way.

>He's not only flipping out about the economics of this

about university athletic dept budgets.

right.

oh you want to pay players? nah, that's dumb.

I don't think Gottlieb is knocking dude for not wanting to play. I think Gottlieb took the word REVENUE out of his tweet and spun it just so he could create an argument (like talking heads like to do). Sounds like he's telling that player you can't fault the league for wanting
games to go on so they can get their money.
Essentially they are not talking about the same thing. I think.

gottlieb is a moron
