So, last night the New York Liberty won their first ever WNBA Championship. And the internet only provider called YouTube promoted the thrilling OT Game Five — by having it run as a panel in most live sports events last night. Key: Internet only. [Just trying to build a larger, more inclusive sports-fan base. This is… an under-appreciated league having its moment, with Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark.]
Of course, anyone could (and most people in fact DID!) tune the game in, on ESPN as well — i.e., regular cable TV.
But several whiny bitter old geezers, including churlish codger Paul, were offended that their “You-Tube only” soccer matches (for example) had a lower quarter screen that was keeping track of the WNBA championship game. So Mirengoff burped this up, overnight:
…I have nothing against women’s basketball. Although I don’t watch the WNBA, I do enjoy the last rounds of the Women’s NCAA championship. And last night’s WNBA contest — the decisive Game Five of the league’s title round — apparently turned out to be an overtime thriller.
But forcing people to have a WNBA game on their screen… that’s… YouTube deliberately did, seems like yet another manifestation of leftist Big Tech as Big Brother. Or, more to the point, Big Sister….
Geez-la-Weez. It is far more likely that these Boomers don’t know how to adjust the panels in YouTube Live.
And so, I realize these codgers on the far right are frustrated that their agenda has been co-opted/destroyed by Tangerine’s endless crime sprees, and thus they will be out on their ears in 14 days… but this is really a “you damn kids get off my lawn!” moment.
Do go outside and yell at the clouds, guys.
Or — better idea — rent a REAL life.
Cheers.
Seen, are you at Vandy Med Center… 10:44 am.
Hey now. Grinning… fondly.
