Welcome back...to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week you are cordially invited to the second installment of what we call Rantapalooza. That’s right, three fists to the face of sports and politics in our rawest form: the rants that typically set the table for a singular conversation on a broader topic are the chef d’oeuvre on this Saturday where our individual grievances and musings are the headline attraction. Join us for this bi-annual tradition unlike any other, where Zak (without the use of Spider Tack!) retires the latest New York Yankee bilk on called strikes, buries a pair of big money bro donors and and the purported Dem they have their fangs sunk into, and finally details what happens when an Eagles fan in high elected office, a bankrupt reality TV business maven and a billionaire massage enthusiast walk into a bar; Andrew highlights an unfortunate double-standard in accountability within top-level women’s athletics, calls bullshit on the “motivation” behind expanding the College Football Playoff, and sends Bob Knight’s foremost apprentice off in a a blaze of ignominy; Ed exposes a dark racial underbelly to an institution better known for blue fields and underdog football theatrics; decries the categorization of “non-profit” to an entity with vast compensatory inequity betwixt member and charity, and a hopefully final thank you, fuck you, bye to the (VERY literally) old resident of BBCollective rants still representing 1% of our not-so-greatest deliberative body. Come for rants galore, stay for the details of our next remote: 4th of July weekend, Saturday the 3rd we will be live on location at New London’s own The Draft Choice. We hope to see you all there and hope you join us this week and in the interim, at the Bill Bradley Collective.
