A Peacock Alert For USC Fans

It’s a big week at the Galen Center with No. 7-ranked USC playing No. 1 UCLA in women’s basketball on Thursday night. It’s a sellout.

Now the kicker: The game will be on Peacock. Unbelievable. Biggest game of the season. On Peacock. A streaming service. How does that promote the sport?

By the way, I get Peacock. But I also see the big picture. Most people don’t get it. This is an own goal.

The men’s basketball team hosts Penn State and Minnesota this week, two must wins since the Trojans go to Maryland and Rutgers the following week.

  1. Scooter,

    The half time show at the super bowl was nothing but crap. Why did they have an L.A. guy perform at a New Orleans game? That is like having a NO’s guy performing at the L.A. superbowl half time show. they could have gotten a local guy or band and perform. Twice the superbowl has gone after a small demographic catagory. They forgot that others who want to watch the halftime show do not relate to that crap.

    1. PT: I couldn’t understand the rapper. But Jason Whitlock explained that the show’s message was based on The Squid Game, a very popular show and internet game that critiques the capitalist system, the pursuit of wealth, the immorality of the wealthy, and the injustice of economic inequality. In other words, the whole thing was a subliminal call to Marxism but most of the viewers missed it. Whitlock added that the Samuel Jackson character of a black Uncle Sam was really a criticism of black people who voted for Trump and Uncle Sam is really Uncle Tom. Note his words to the rapper:

      “Too loud, too reckless, too ghetto” “Uncle Sam” representing those who tell the Black community how to behave. The dancers forming a disconnected American flag.

      1. Plow,

        Isn’t that the kettle calling it black. These people are paid and want to be paid very well, but it is not right for others not to be paid. The hypocracsy of it all.

      2. Agreed. And professional sports is the least DEI institution that exists. It’s all about merit. Push the opposing player around and you play. Get pushed around and you don’t.
