Overview

Transcript
WEMB is gonna go down as the most important athlete of the last two generations, and it's gonna have almost nothing to do with basketball. I mean, for the last hundred years, athletes stood at the forefront of every fight that's better. You know, racial injustice, housing inequality, women's rights, Ali risking his whole career to deny a war he didn't believe in. The fight still need to be fought, but it's getting harder and harder for athletes to do it themselves because the leagues and the teams, they set the narrative before rank athlete can even open their mouth. You mix that with the proliferation and import of, you know, the personal rank. The athlete voice itself has become commoditized. It's sterilized. The business of sport has gotten so big that the competition of sport has taken back best. Good to a generation of athletes, especially the men who stay even keel all the time. They're unbothered. They protect their personal brand and by proxy, their bank accounts. Because caring is a risk and looking like you don't is just good good. That's why when we matters. Our old fights move justice forward. What when we has a chance to do, I believe, is move behavior worse, specifically the behavior of young men. Because young men, if you have not been paying attention, are not doing so great right now. The way they talk online, the voices they handed the wheel to, the stats support all of that as well from college enrollment, jobs.
