And when the subject is the frequency that a rubber disk goes into a 6 foot by 4 foot net defended by a guy wearing a silly mask, or who should be selected first in the draft by a team named after a Disney film from 1992, I am perfectly willing to give a #### what they have to say about that utterly meaningless, unimportant game, because their personal qualifications, their ability to provide insight or meaningful additions to the discourse - or lack thereof - are of accordingly low importance.

It's when stuff like this, or the George Floyd protests, or other instances where the "real world" crosses over with the sports world, that I suddenly can't listen to podcasts or watch intermission panels for a week without wanting to slap people across the face.
