Behind the Line

This week John Cena was the latest celebrity to bow his knee to China. He is following in the footsteps of LeBron James and the NBA...who have been submissive to China for the past several years. All the while...the NBA's popularity in America continues to decline.

A recent Pew Research poll shows nearly 90% of Americans believe China is an enemy to the United States. Even with that being the case...Hollywood and the NBA continue to bend the knee to the Chinese government.

We explain how LeBron James...the NBA...and Hollywood have turned their back on America in favor of China. We also point out how they could use their influence to affect positive change in China and around the world...but use their influence negatively instead.

Kwame Brown is experiencing overnight success. By standing on his principles and being a real man...something America is starving for right now...Kwame Brown's social media following has grown over the last week.

However...wokers like ESPN's Stephen A Smith have an issue with Kwame Brown. Stephen A attacked Brown this week. Instead of attacking him on the substance of his arguments...Stephen A Smith attacked Brown's NBA career.

A common tactic used by wokers...because they can't argue their points on merit. We explain the events that happened this week between Stephen A Smith and Kwame Brown...and outline how once again...the wokers are losing the war.

If you listen to the NBA or the sports media...you'd think ratings for the NBA Playoffs thus far have been a massive success. However...when you really dive into the ratings...that's simply not the case.

We analyze the ratings for the NBA Playoffs...and show how the NBA is flat when compared to the ratings from 2019. We also explain how the NBA losing Steph Curry and the Warriors was a major blow...and it would've been better to have LeBron James eliminated.

Also...with the NBA supposedly being the second most popular sports league in the country...how were they not #1 in sports ratings last weekend? We reveal who beat the NBA Playoffs in the ratings.

John Cena has been presented as the ultimate good guy by Vince McMahon and the WWE for nearly 20 years. He has a mostly spotless reputation...fulfilling more Make-A-Wish requests than any other celebrity.

However...John Cena has now proven that he's just as weak as LeBron James and the NBA...and cares only about the bottom line. He posted a ridiculous apology to China earlier this week.

We go over his comments that led to the apology...and explain why John Cena should've never apologized for telling the truth.

The Aaron Rodgers saga continues in Green Bay...and if you're a fan of the Packers...it's not good. Rodgers was interviewed by Kenny Mayne over at ESPN on Monday...and the interview was telling.

It's abundantly clear Aaron Rodgers won't be playing in Green Bay this season. We go over several key points in the interview...and read between the lines of what Aaron Rodgers said...and show how it points to him leaving Green Bay.

We also explain how the Packers have bungled this situation with their franchise quarterback...and point to another NFL franchise who handled a similar situation correctly.

The NBA finally received some good news over the weekend. Ratings for the play-in game between LeBron James and the Lakers...and Steph Curry and the Warriors...were up 190% over last season.

Also...ratings for the other play-in tournament games were decent. Is this sustainable for the NBA? Can they continue this momentum throughout the playoffs...or was this only a spike because of the play-in situation?

Does this prove LeBron James is still a major draw? We explain why Steph Curry and the Warriors were likely the draw last week...and not LeBron James. 

The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially signed Tim Tebow...giving him another opportunity to make an NFL roster. It's clear the only reason Tebow is getting this chance is because Urban Meyer is the head coach in Jacksonville.

However...if you're woke like Stephen A Smith...then this is an example of white privilege. On ESPN's First Take Friday morning...Max Kellerman and Stephen A Smith proved to the world why being woke is ignorant.

We delve into their comments on Tim Tebow...and dispel every notion Max Kellerman and Stephen A Smith presented on Tim Tebow. We explain why this opportunity for Tebow could be considered nepotism...but definitely not white privilege.

Kwame Brown is arguably the number one bust in NBA history. Although he had a 13 year NBA career...and made over $63 million...many still consider him to be a bust. Since his career ended nearly a decade ago...Kwame Brown has remained out of the spotlight.

That's no longer the case. Gilbert Arenas was on All The Smoke...a podcast hosted by Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson...and they unloaded on Kwame Brown. Brown then responded on YouTube...and a beef was born.

We go over everything that was said by all parties...and determine who's right and comes out of this looking good...and who's wrong and looks like a fool.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers clinched a playoff berth Wednesday night...after they squeaked by the Golden State Warriors. Adam Silver was likely sweating during the game...worried the league would be missing its biggest star for the postseason.

However...is LeBron James making the playoffs a positive for the NBA in terms of television ratings? NBA ratings have declined rapidly over the last 12-18 months...and many attribute that decline to LeBron James leading the NBA down the path of being woke.

We explain why LeBron in the playoffs could actually be a negative for the NBA...and how this postseason could set record low ratings.

It was announced recently that San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan will be inducted into the Hall-of-Fame this year. Duncan rarely gives interviews...but gave an interview to ESPN's Rachel Nichols once the announcement was made.

Rachel Nichols is being slammed on Twitter for going out of her way to bring up LeBron James during an interview honoring Tim Duncan. We explain the frustration from fans of Tim Duncan...and why the question shouldn't have been asked.

We also look at the career of Rachel Nichols...and how she has slowly gone "woke" over the last few years.
