This week was about systems.
Not the abstract kind — the real ones we live inside every day.
We started with Will’s article, “Whatever happened to meet me at high noon?”, which examines how something as simple as time was standardized and how we’ve been living within that decision ever since.
And once we pulled on that thread, it showed up everywhere.
In sports.
In labor.
In how value is created AND who actually benefits from it.
In this episode, we get into:
The MLB vs WNBA collective bargaining agreements and what players are really negotiating for
Why Unrivaled is more than a league — it’s WNBA leverage in real time
Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game and why the reaction said more than the performance
The bigger question: why does the NBA feels harder to watch than it should
March Madness, NIL, and why college basketball feels different right now
What happens when the system becomes visible?
