What next? The CEO of Jiffy Pop? The weatherman for the NBC affiliate in Spokane? The Best Boy working on Miramax movies? The latter, being male, is not likely to have anything to say about Weinstein, but maybe, oh, JESUS maybe, Trump!
Yes, it's nice that Trump gets criticism from Twitter trolls, late night comedians and several carp-lipped impersonators. It certainly helps that a basketball coach has dared get political and risk whatever it is that sports leagues do in cases like this. But for it to be front page news?
Maybe it's MY problem for not following basketball. I never got the homoerotic thrill of seeing sweaty men in squeaky sneakers running back and forth in their colored boxer shorts and undershirts, making a big deal out of shoving a ball in a hoop that should be a foot higher than it is.
I'm not impressed with white haired white guys who get red in the face over what black players do. Or roly-poly referees.
Put it this way, I wouldn't be impressed if the WBA Heavyweight Champ mouthed off against Trump. Punched him in the mouth, yes.
