Always enjoy a Chauny ISO (even when I disagree). In this instance, I very much agree. That the Time award went from something cool and exciting for the sport to another discourse machine following the Johnson interview was as predictable as it was exhausting. I wish the W could just celebrate good things sometimes.

"I've said this before on Twitter that our black legends deserve so much more than to be trotted out every time Caitlin accomplishes something in an attempt to browbeat new fans into caring about them."

I appreciate you saying this and noting (in the pod, I think) that Caitlin has shouted out her predecessors (on SNL and otherwise). I get why W history is important to where she is now, but it's not always necessary to include it when talking about something she has accomplished. There's other ways to get people to understand the history of the sport.

Also shout-out to the Prada bag joke, which made me LOL both when I listened and when I read this.
