Reviews

  • NIL episode

    Ireland is a hypocrite covert classist and bigot as it relates to players getting paid in college. Universities have made billions off athletes for decades. To force athletes to stay at on school by force is paid slavery. I’m sure his golf buddies would agree with him….Michal is right aka Django. Ireland is Leonardo DiCaprio in that movie Django!!!!
