32:38Now PlayingOn today’s Outkick the Show, Clay Travis discussed Magic Johnson’s abrupt resignation last night as president of the LA Lakers. One theory of Clay’s is Magic lost a power-struggle over Luke Walton and decided to leave. Another possibility was something new was about to be released about Magic’s personal life and he bailed before it was announced, and a third possibility, said Clay, is that Magic just decided retirement sounded more attractive than his job. According to Travis, the Lakers have two plays moving forward: Trade LeBron James or hire a strong leader.
Clay Travis then brought up Nick Bosa and his recent Twitter activity preceding to the NFL draft. Bosa reportedly deleted all of his pro-Trump and anti-Colin Kaepernick tweets because he’s thinking he might end up playing for the San Francisco 49ers. Bosa is probably going to be the second pick, overall, said Travis. “What does it say about the world we’re living in, that an athlete can’t support the current President of the United States. This is utterly insane.”
Clay Travis said the recent New York Times article on Democrats and Twitter might be accurate and seems to be close to communicating what Clay wrote about in his best-selling book, Republicans Buy Sneakers, Too. Clay likened the trending topics on Twitter to the trending topics on a porn site called pornub, as that website is more popular than Twitter according to recent numbers representing the online activity of Americans. The carnival funhouse mirror that is Twitter is not real life, it is entertainment, said Travis, and doesn’t represent the majority of citizens and their political beliefs.
Clay Travis then talked about the Big 12 and their new ESPN+ deal. Fox walked away from the Big 12 title games, and now ESPN is trying to build ESPN+ as the cord-cutting trend continues in addition to maintaining ESPN and ESPN 2. ESPN’s business model is apparently moving towards placing the bulk of their content on ESPN+, said Travis.
Finally, Clay Travis reported on the recent moves in the Tennessee legislature, taking several large steps toward making online sports gambling legal in the state. Clay applauded the move and believes online sports gambling will ultimately become legal in his home state of Tennessee.
