Random Offense w/ Ryan Glasspiegel
Gonna do it live, 4 pm ET today
Ryan hates the above photo and thinks it looks like a mug shot. No matter, because you can see his face live today at 4 pm ET. If you wish to ask us questions, there’s a Zoom link right here.
We will be discussing Simone Biles vs. Riley Gaines, ESPN’s NBA Finals coverage, Nike potentially teasing a new Caitlin Clark logo, and much more. Join us!
Is Nike forecasting a Caitlyn Clark pregnancy and pronounced absence from competition? Has to be asked.
I would give at least a partial defense of Riley Gaines. First, I'm not sure if she actually have a regular, non-activist job. Any employer, coworker, etc googles Gaines and the Lia Thomas situation is what comes up first. Gaines, or like Kyle Rittenhouse, are trapped by events in their pasts, events that were not created by them, and they can't really escape it.
Also, as someone who interacts with a lot of conservative media, to be fair to Gaines, she has tried to comment on other subjects. It has.... not gone well.
Finally, Ryan should keep in mind that arguments based on knowledge and intelligence often are not effective. If you have a nice seeming, attractive woman with a compelling personal story, it's like a knuckleballer. You dont really need another pitch.
