The opening sentence of the Fox News piece was, "The NFL, UFC, boxing and college football had a stranglehold [on our attention?] and there was one underlying theme across the sports landscape." The "underlying theme," of course, was Trump. But what is the evidence for such a bombastic statement? Did players speak out for Trump? Was Patrick Mahomes celebrating the violence necessary to deport 10 million people in his postgame press conference and I just missed it? The answer is no.
The person on the other line, however, wasn't looking for scandal. It was a producer who wanted me to come on their television program, TMZ Live, to talk about 'Donald Trump dominating the sports weekend.' I knew that TMZ founder Harvey Levin was a Trumpist ally and that, despite a stormy relationship, Trump has greatly valued Levin's greasy gossip empire.
