Hello and welcome to another great Podcast episode. This features a riveting conversation with one of our favorite people on the planet the always dynamic Jason Cameron.
We covered a lot of topics today starting with the new NBA players coalition headed up by Kyrie Irving, Avery Bradley and Dwight Howard. This coalition is trying to get NBA player support to boycott the NBA season and not go into the Orlando " Bubble" that will be where the 2019-2020 season is scheduled to resume. Mr Cameron eloquently described his displeasure in Kyrie and him not using his voice to give a clear and concise plan. The fight for Social injustice, police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement needs to continue of course. We both wonder that how this coalition honestly believes that by not playing their support will be heard louder than by resuming the NBA season. Jason went on to say that the NBA players will undoubtedly be able to do their job and continue to further their support for the causes that have been taken up after the murder of George Floyd.
Switching gears to the NFL to discuss another week and another video message from Commissioner Roger Goodell. Last week Jason expressed his disbelief and amazement that Goodell and the NFL owners admitted that they were WRONG in not listening to the NFL players concerns earlier on racism and the systematic oppression of black people. A lot of opinions were shared on the videos contents and apology. There was some criticism that in the message Goodell didn't refer directly to Colin Kaepernick who four years ago led the players taking a knee to oppose police brutality and racial inequality. Kaepernick became a civil rights activist and lost his NFL career as the league allegedly colluded to keep the former 49ers QB out of the NFL since 2016. This time Goodell did finally address Kap and said he has encouraged NFL teams to sign the QB.
The UFC June 13th card was then discussed as we broke down most of the fights on the card. The three fights at the start of the card and four of the first five that all lasted less than a minute. Tyson Nam was the first fighter spoke about how impressive his performance was getting a knockout in 32 seconds over Zarrukh Adashev. We talked about the former hockey enforcer Christian Aguileras UFC debut ending in a knockout over Anthony Ivy in 59 seconds. There was discussion on the main event with Jessica Eye and Cynthia Calvillos dominance over her with takedowns. The other fight featured was Andre "Touchy" Fili and Charles "Air" Jourdain who had an amazingly compelling three round technical fight with all elements showcased. Then we spoke about the next UFC card that is to take place in Vegas June 20th. The main event is Curtis "Razor" Blaydes vs Alex Volkov which has the potential for an epic battle. Josh Emmett and Shane Burgos will face each other in the co main. Then we discussed the two veterans Jim Miller and Clay Guida on the cards and the fun it will be to be watching them in the twilight of their respective careers.
Thanks again Jason for so many impressive takes and opinions you are a gem. Take care everyone and Bye for now!
