BML Thursday: Sports, Culture & Politics

I have watched and enjoyed a few harry Potter movies. I have read none of the books. Their author, JK Rowling has become a culture warrior. She sees the invasion and insanity of men claiming to be women and expecting to be treated as if they were. She’s not backing down and I’m glad to see it. JK Rowling is our In a Handbasket hero this morning.

I’ve always been a sports guy. They teach us life lessons and reflect our society in many ways. My kids learned valuable lessons from sports, as did I. Our culture is reflected in sports as well. We’ll begin our look at sports in the WNBA where good things are happening, but culture wars are trying to derail them. Then we have Florida considering allowing pay high school athletes. NIL in college makes some sense to me. At the high school level, it doesn’t make as much sense.

Have you seen the Biden debate challenge video? It’s short, 10-15 seconds, and has more cuts than an R rated movie edited for TV. Yet, the debates appear to be on and largely on Joe Biden’s terms: friendly networks, no interruptions by opponents and the first one scheduled for next month. That’s the one smart thing about the Biden demands- get the debates done before mail ballots start rolling in.

I’m not sure if the debates will be interesting for content or the comedy that is sure to ensue.
