Show notes
This week on Take It Personal, we follow one idea all the way through:
What happens when the system becomes visible?
We start with a conversation about time after Will's article about how something as simple as the clock is actually a system someone chose — and use that lens to unpack what’s happening across sports right now.
From there, we get into:
- The MLB vs WNBA CBA and what players are really fighting over
- Why Unrivaled is more than a league — it’s leverage
- Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game and why the reaction split the internet
- The bigger question: why the NBA feels harder to watch than it should
- March Madness, NIL, and why college basketball feels different right now
This episode is about power, structure, and who gets to set the terms.
