Former Indiana Hoosiers player and Bob Knight assistant basketball coach, Dan Dakich, who now works for ESPN calling college basketball games and hosting a sports talk radio show on 107.5 FM "The Fan" in Indianapolis. At issue in this installment of Nate Wallace's weekly Redspin Report on Radio Sputnik's "BAMNecessary" with Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman, is Dakich's M.O. of attacking unpaid college athletes for "quitting," calling for Duke Basketball's (unpaid) Jalen Johnson a quitter for making a business decision to prepare for the 2021 NBA Draft, rather than continue playing this money grab of a college basketball season amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Even worse is Dakich's threatening sexual violence against End of Sport co-host and college professor, Johanna Mellis, and doxing fellow EOS co-host and professor Nathan Kalman-Lamb after being unable to respond to legitimate criticism regarding Dakich's latest disgusting remarks.

We also discuss the New Cold War against China taking hold in Canada with a mainstream lawmaker's appeal that the 2022 Winter Olympic Games should be moved from China to Canada on human rights grounds concerning an alleged Uyghur Genocide; a claim made only by a right-wing evangelical zealot named Dr. Adrian Zenz, who is a bizarre and dangerous figure from the German Christian Right.

The Jalen Johnson opt-out is a totally legitimate decision the young man made given the fact that "loyalty" is never a two way street whenever a player's presence becomes something a university deems to be not in their interests.

We get into all of this and more on this edition of the Redspin Report.
