Speaker 1: Uh, we got sports coming up next. Is Jason Kidd
Speaker 1: about to leave Dallas? Is he going to be the
Speaker 1: head coach of the Knicks. This is a crazy story
Speaker 1: and it's not going anywhere. It's it's it's courtesy of
Speaker 1: the great Mark Stein. But it is still out there.
Speaker 1: What is going to happen with the Jason Kidd situation.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that momentarily, but right now it's time
Speaker 1: for this.
Speaker 2: Give me that news quickie. All right, I thought you
Speaker 2: guys would like this story. So Governor Greg Abbott has
Speaker 2: signed a bill. There's a lot of bills on his
Speaker 2: desk right now. He said, there's like a thousand of
Speaker 2: them that he's got to look at, and that's it
Speaker 2: feels like that wouldn't be fun to read a bunch
Speaker 2: of bills. He signed a bill last month that would
Speaker 2: allow a referee, a judge, or other official of an
Speaker 2: extracurricular athletic activity to remove spectators without warning, meaning if
Speaker 2: someone's being a ruly you know, things like that. So previously,
Speaker 2: these officials could not eject a spectator behaving inappropriately unless
Speaker 2: they issued a verbal warning. And then there's a behavior persistent,
Speaker 2: it just keeps going. So now they can actually do that. Like,
Speaker 2: if you've ever seen an umpire or official throw a
Speaker 2: parent out of a game, they've never been legally allowed
Speaker 2: to do that really until now.
Speaker 1: Now were they legally allowed to do it as long
Speaker 1: as they gave a warning.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's well with this hold on.
Speaker 3: I mean you may have more details here, but what
Speaker 3: this really comes down to is enforcement. Like I could,
Speaker 3: I could walk up to someone and go, you know what,
Speaker 3: you're out of here? Like no, I'm not, Like, how
Speaker 3: do you enforce this sort of thing? Because I've seen
Speaker 3: parents get ejected from games, and if they wanted to
Speaker 3: be a real horses ass, they could have said, no,
Speaker 3: I'm sitting right here watching my kid.
Speaker 1: Isn't there is there a law enforcement at every game?
Speaker 2: I guess? I doubt.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've seen some questionable situation. I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of weird situations with parents behaving really irrationally
Speaker 1: at sporting events, youth sporting events. But there was one.
Speaker 1: I was at it as a JV basketball game, and
Speaker 1: who was a mom and dad and and it was tense,
Speaker 1: like they were both like about it, like they were
Speaker 1: looking to have a fistfight in the stands if they
Speaker 1: needed to mm hmm, and it got it was so
Speaker 1: wild they were asked to leave, and then there was
Speaker 1: a lot of trepidation about okay, are they lingering outside?
Speaker 1: Like it was scary and apparently they had a reputation
Speaker 1: for it, like they'd been kicked out several times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and like you're just like, man, are we all gonna
Speaker 1: get shot over a bad call in a game? Like
Speaker 1: what is happening here? But some people get so caught
Speaker 1: up in it they they can't help, but just ruin
Speaker 1: the entire sporting event for everyone there.
Speaker 3: That's what happened to a keep to Leeb's brother. He's
Speaker 3: in prison because he shot a guy at.
Speaker 1: A football game.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: That's a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: But like, like you understand what I'm saying. We've all,
Speaker 3: I mean, I've coached little league teams, been as coach
Speaker 3: little league teams. So the ref who makes you know,
Speaker 3: fourteen dollars an hour as a part time job, goes
Speaker 3: all right, sir, you're out of here.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, so on this bill, it's just UIL events,
Speaker 2: I guess. So you know, youth sports completely if it's
Speaker 2: UIL baseball, it's not right. Okay, that's different. Ui L
Speaker 2: is sanctioned, and there's probably a.
Speaker 1: Cop there, so that's like legit high school games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining that if that that's a good question.
Speaker 1: Is there a security guard cop at Yeah? I would
Speaker 1: not know, because they can get to a lot of big,
Speaker 1: you know games. No, there are.
Speaker 3: If it's a if it's a place that's going to
Speaker 3: have more than one hundred people, it's not that uncommon
Speaker 3: for there to be a police officer there, especially in
Speaker 3: you know whatever community. It's like they know, they know
Speaker 3: the schedule, and they can account for that. I mean,
Speaker 3: every school has a cop there.
Speaker 2: Boy, doesn't this feel like it's they're already in a
Speaker 2: tough spot because they don't get paid a lot and
Speaker 2: it's really a thankless job. But doesn't this feel like
Speaker 2: a dangerous thing to give a little more power to
Speaker 2: the official?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, I.
Speaker 2: Realized that if something's happening, but I don't know, enforcing
Speaker 2: it almost feels like that escalator things are trying to
Speaker 2: enforce it, or even I don't know, doing the actual ejection,
Speaker 2: going through with the process feels like that would escalate things.
Speaker 2: More than just kind of riding it out. But that's
Speaker 2: you guys know me, I ever write it out mentality.
Speaker 1: I feel like these situations get worse and worse and worse,
Speaker 1: and it's almost like an official having control over the
Speaker 1: game and the environment. If you're allowing that to happen,
Speaker 1: it's if one parent is chirping on one side, the
Speaker 1: other parents feel like they've got to now get involved,
Speaker 1: and it could just escalate and get worse and worse
Speaker 1: and worse. So I like the rule, I don't understand
Speaker 1: how it can be enforced. But if the official is like, look,
Speaker 1: you're out of here. You're ruining this game environment, it's
Speaker 1: we can't even have competitive sports here. You're ruining it
Speaker 1: for everyone. You're out. And if they refuse to leave,
Speaker 1: that team forfeits the game and it's over.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And there's also there's the issue of standards, like what
Speaker 3: are the qualifying standards for this action that an official
Speaker 3: can take, right, because if you leave it up to
Speaker 3: the discretion of the official, you might get a guy
Speaker 3: who is unhappy at his day job and he's going
Speaker 3: to take it out on a game, like I've seen
Speaker 3: that with officials before. Yeah, you know again it's a
Speaker 3: part time job, but you know it's all ideas. Does
Speaker 3: someone care. This is the same thing with regulating police officers.
Speaker 3: Are they bringing a bad home life onto the job
Speaker 3: where they have all this authority and a weapon. You know,
Speaker 3: it's just it's human behavior. And the other thing too
Speaker 3: that I think maybe it's different, maybe it's not, maybe
Speaker 3: it's more noticeable. But one thing in general with kind
Speaker 3: of human behavior is a platform tends to or any
Speaker 3: platform and or authority tends to embolden someone, right. It
Speaker 3: gives them strength to do more, whether that's a good
Speaker 3: or bad thing. And we are in the day and
Speaker 3: age where everyone has a platform now through social media,
Speaker 3: and so I think it's exacerbated behaviors that used people
Speaker 3: used to suppress a little bit because now it's so
Speaker 3: easy for me to Like I was asking my wife
Speaker 3: last night about I was like, what do you think
Speaker 3: about this next door app? I'm just looking at the
Speaker 3: behavior on a next door app cause I get the
Speaker 3: emails and it's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The by the way, human behavior great buyork song. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love it. To your point about people being in
Speaker 1: bolden and taking to social media into a platform. One
Speaker 1: area that I see that quite a bit. Is the
Speaker 1: person who wants to challenge a police officer over the
Speaker 1: law with a basic pullover, like you're just pulled over
Speaker 1: and like hey, can I get your license and registration?
Speaker 1: Like you don't have the authority to ask me that
Speaker 1: under this code, you have to know I need your
Speaker 1: badge number. And it's just immediately like so confrontational. It's
Speaker 1: like wait what and they're videoing it. They're videoing it,
Speaker 1: and it's like I'm gonna tell I'm gonna put you
Speaker 1: on trial. No, you tell me your boss, And they're
Speaker 1: just suddenly the police officers like, uh, I don't you
Speaker 1: have a tail light out? Like I don't know what's happening,
Speaker 1: Like it is out of control. Well, let's do this.
Speaker 3: Let's take that same circumstance and let's apply it to
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd next right here on the Beninskin. We will
Speaker 3: go around the sports here on the Eagle
