All right. Let's see what we have here. One of my favorite tales from today is that Draymond Green confronted a guy court side who kept calling him Angel Reese. Bro, I thought women could do stuff now. Ladies can do stuff now. Why are we getting all worked up? Because somebody called you a crappy lady basketball player. Getting your feelings much there, Draymond? Shit, I thought I got in my fields.

You're a millionaire athlete and you let some dipshit sitting courtside get under your skin because he called you Angel Reese. bro, get over it. This story is great, though. Let's see here. Let's dig into this one a little bit more after these words. Now, according to ESPN, says that the NBA has issued a warning, but no fine to Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green for his interaction with a vocal fan in New Orleans on Sunday night. A source told Shams. After Green had a first quarter possession with several offensive rebounds and a missed shot, the fan yelled Angel Reese toward Green, who said he initially, laugh, but after the fan repeated the chant several times, Green walked over to confront him on the baseline during a second quarter stoppage. It's like, listen, you can call me Angel Reese once, and that's one thing. You call me Angel Reese one time, okay. You call me Angel Reese two or three times. Now you've gone too fucking far. It was a good joke at first, but you can't

keep calling me a woman, Green said post game about the reference to WNBA star and former LSU player. I got four kids. One on the way. You can't keep calling me a woman. You can't keep calling me a woman. That's what you're mad about. You're mad about the idea that some guy called you a woman. God, maybe we're healing as a country. Maybe things have gotten better when men are now offended by being called women. Maybe that means we're healing. Maybe we're not as broken anymore. But the idea that getting mad, getting worked up over somebody calling you a woman is pretty hysterical. I find that funny. That, you know, like that was the thing. It wasn't just like, like you look bad being that like the whole movement here is that like

women this and you know men and what is a woman anyway what are men what are women like gender is just a social construct manmade construct and what do you end up with here you're offended by some guy calling you a woman the fan who identified himself as sam green 35 of new orleans imagine what court side seats cost at a pelicans game like a shiny nickel for one shining nickel. You can sit court-side at a New Orleans Pelicans game. He stood up when Draymond Green walked over to have a closer word. They interacted without intervention for several seconds before official Courtney Kirkland finally broke it up. The fan was giving a warning, but not ejected. He was talking at first, Draymond said. Then you get a little closer and he didn't really

say much else. But it's fine. We move on. I mean, it looked like the guy, I mean, it's still said thing. I mean, the guy, you approached him. He didn't back down. It didn't seem like he coward to you. Plaud the guy for that. You're going to talk your shit at a ball game. Then, you know, make sure you, you know, back it up. Let's see. In this instance, he was given a warning, not a fine, blah, blah, blah.

Okay. So there you go. Bro, getting all worked up over the idea of somebody calling you a woman is like, like, how does that offend you? Like, I can see where there's certain things that somebody could say to you, but like, that's right up there with somebody calling you gay. Like, who the hell cares? Who's like, you know what? This guy called me gay. Nobody. And I mean nobody calls me gay. Or I'm going to have words with this guy. Like you're a multimillionaire athlete. I'm sure people have said far worse, offensive shit to you. And you're worried about some dude yelling like that you're Angel Reese. Now, I will give Draymond credit here that he at least acknowledged that the guy made a good reference there at first, said it was a good joke at first, but you don't sit there and tell me that multiple times. I will not be called a woman multiple times. That will not happen on my watch. You will not.

not call me a woman multiple times. But that's the Draymond story there. Let's see. I don't know. When you think about interactions with fans and players, I think fans, like fans are assholes. There's a lot of asshole fans that say dumb shit. Like, I wouldn't yell any of this shit at dudes. Like, it's just not how I operate.

It's not something that I'm into. I'll yell about the game and get worked up. And depending on how into the game or how drunk I am at the game, I'll say shit, but I'm not someone that talks shit about players or yell shit at players. This is not really my M.O. But I think what's happened is we've created a world where players are so all over social media and so interactive with fans that we've really blurred the line between the two. You know what I'm saying? You become almost less of a celebrity and more of an actual person.

I think maybe it makes it easier. That sounds weird, I know, but maybe I'm wording this poorly, but perhaps it makes it. easier for people to just interact with you now. You know, like, I think people feel like a comfort in this because they're so used to seeing you on social media and in podcasts and everywhere that you don't come across as this bigger than life person. You come across as just somebody they can talk shit to. And look, the players kind of have it both ways.

You know, they want that kind of admiration and that kind of love and that kind of back and forth, and then they get offended when people engage in it. You know, so I don't know, man. Like, to me, getting offended that somebody called you a woman is about as thin-skinned as a human can be. Like, I can't fathom a world where some guy, like, I've dealt with some shit in my day. Like, I've had people show up at remotes. Like, in St. Louis, this old guy wanted to fight me. This old guy, like, came up to the booth.

We were doing a show at a bar. And this guy wanted to throw hands. And at this point, I'd kind of lost my interest in being cool about shit. And I was like, fuck you, motherfucker. Let's dance, you know? like, I don't know, maybe he would have kicked my ass, maybe he wouldn't have. I don't know. He was an older guy. Maybe I would have gotten my ass kicked. But like, I've dealt with this shit. Like I know what this is, you know, everything I say, remind you, everything I say is on a much smaller scale than what these people deal with. Please know that I know that. I'm not delusional enough to think that like I'm on some level as these guys. But on a much smaller scale, on a minor league scale in this one, this is something that I encounter and something that I confront and something that I see. Right. So I see people doing this and I've had it happen to me. So I've had hecklers, everything. If I fought and got in the face of and risked an altercation with everybody who's yelled shit at me, particularly in Philadelphia, if I would have gotten in everybody's face, like at some point things would have escalated to something.

Somebody would have hit me and then I would have had to go back. And there's no good that can really come of that. Especially if it's some guy calling you a woman. Guy's not threatening you. guy is not like saying offensive slurs towards you. He's not saying the ultimate bad words to you. Any of this shit? All this dude is doing is calling you a woman. He's calling you angel. And by the way, he's calling you Angel Reese.

He didn't even call you a woman. He didn't say, hey woman. Hey woman. Like he's clubber laying or something. All he did was said, hey, Angel Reese. And you got so worked up and angered by some guy calling you Angel Reese that you confronted him in a game. And if I did that every time, somebody in, particularly, again, Philadelphia is where I dealt

with it a lot. I dealt with it in St. Louis some too, not in person, but like via Facebook. They're big talkers on Facebook. But in Philly, people had no qualms with just yelling shit at you. That was just Philly. Like, that was the thing. So they would say some fucked up shit. And, like, for the most part, I just waved and was like, ha, ha, L-O-L.

Like, I'm not going to sit there and engage with you and try to get into some sort of fistfight with somebody over being called gay or be. being called whatever. Like the idea that people still do that is pretty mind-blowing because you are a mental midget if you were doing that, a mental little person, a mental dwarf if you do that. Like, you're a child at that point. You have the coping skills of a five-year-old. You're Marty McFly at that point.

You're worked up that somebody called you chicken or whatever. Like you're, like get over it, you know, like grow up, be an adult. Why are we fighting people? Why are we confronting people? especially over being called Angel Reese. All the guy did has made fun of you from missing a couple of shots and rebounding your own ball.

That's it. It's pretty wild. That is pretty wild to think about that someone would be that angered over that. But these people are weird, man. People are strange. Anyway, more to come.
