So the free speech warriors and the anti-cancel culture crusaders have gotten 2 of the big 3 late night shows canceled for speech they didn’t like. Incredible cowardice.

@alasdairgold.bsky.social @jaydmharris.bsky.social @dankp.bsky.social would I be reading too much into things if I noted that Bergvall was sitting above a nameplate that reads Veliz? Why would that be in the boot room for a player who’s ostensibly gone all season long?

I wish I was as good at anything as Cory Alexander is at making everyone within earshot completely miserable. I’d rather listen to a goat bleat for 2 hours than endure him on commentary for a basketball game
