Let's switch gears and play a quick round of Is It Racist?
SPEAKER_2 (0:04)
It's time to play.
SPEAKER_1 (0:06)
Is it racist? If you're new to this little nickel and dime pony show, here to explain the rules of this game is AOC.
SPEAKER_3 (0:18)
Is it racist? Is something racist? Yes or no?
SPEAKER_1 (0:22)
Thank you. So WNBA player Syd Colson was doing a podcast.
SPEAKER_2 (0:29)
That's a WNBA player.
SPEAKER_1 (0:33)
Syd Colson, S-Y-D.
SPEAKER_2 (0:35)
Sydney, probably short for Sydney.
SPEAKER_1 (0:37)
And she doesn't mention the name, but we all know who she's talking about. Basically telling Sophie Cunningham, shut the F up and how she doesn't respect white players' opinions in the league.
SPEAKER_3 (0:52)
Let me just tell you now, for real, for real, for the white players in the league, when you don't say s**t and even worse, when you say things that are harmful, you're talking about the trans s**t. Nobody respects you. Shut the f**k up. Shut the f**k up. Nobody wants to hear your opinion, your freedom of speech so you can say it, but just know people are just trying to get by when they're dealing with you.
SPEAKER_2 (1:15)
Yes, it's racist. Of course it's racist. You lost me at white players.
You moron. You lost me.
SPEAKER_1 (1:26)
And totally. Again, listen to how broken this woman is, all because Sophie Cunningham says, I want to protect young girls in a locker room. Yeah.
SPEAKER_2 (1:37)
That was her message. Keep man out of women's sports.
SPEAKER_1 (1:41)
Sophie never said, I hate the trans. Never said that. She simply said, I want to protect young girls in a locker room. And I want to protect women who have to compete against biological men. Like this should be common sense. But to the weirdos and the WNBA players, this is some sort of white nationalism racist take.
And it's so bizarre to me that saying, I want to protect young girls in a locker room has become divisive.
SPEAKER_2 (2:16)
For anybody, like if Caitlin Clark were to come out and say, for all you black players, if anything, followed up with anything, right? And that would be outrageous. I would I would criticize her for it.
But that's ridiculous. But it's OK for Syd, Syd Colson. Hey, you white women, all you white players. Oh, hey, I got news for all you white players. Shut up. You you're a racist as worse as anything that you've been accused of, that you're accusing people like the Fever fans that you accuse.
SPEAKER_1 (2:56)
Right.
SPEAKER_2 (2:56)
A bit. You're worse than them.
SPEAKER_1 (2:59)
And the Fever fans, again, the ones that have been the subject to being ejected out of their seats, they've all been allowed to come back. The only person that has been in trouble for being a pain in the ass with the fever has been Greg Doyle, the reporter.
He's been the only one that's been disciplined for being a pain in the ass.
SPEAKER_2 (3:20)
You got banned for a year for being creepy for covering the fever. Right. I forgot about that.
SPEAKER_1 (3:26)
And now he's one of the biggest finger waggers. He's blaming you, all of you no good rotten fever fans. You're the reason why that the fever have a bad name.
Well, Gregy Poo, I didn't get banned for a year from the organization for creeping out the star player. So maybe we pump the brakes there just a little bit. And by the way, have we heard from Greg Doyle? Have we heard from Jemele Hill? Have we heard from Candace Buckner or any one of these people that work at that god awful athletic? Have they condemned what Syd Colson has to say?
Of course not.
SPEAKER_2 (4:01)
All you white players, you better watch out.
SPEAKER_1 (4:03)
But if Sophie Cunningham farts, then it's going to be like nine different articles from all of these ridiculous people that cover the WNBA.
