Normally when a coach gets fired, it's preceded by weeks or months of the fan base clamoring for it. And when the announcement is made it's usually followed with "it's about time" and the like. Not this time. Everyone in the UMass extended circle except Bamford can see how poorly this was done.

Got mad enough about this that I turned this thread into a blog. Kamala Harris did not engage in overt identity politics. Donald Trump did. It probably helped him. And yet, pundits like Weiss, Stephens & Dowd treat identity politics *only* as a failed Dem tactic. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
