Ep.62 - Kobe Bryant, CoCo Gauff & Grenfell Inquiry
On Ep.62 of WG: Some thoughts on the sudden passing of Kobe, Gianna Bryant & the other victims of the Calabasas Helicopter Crash. Will sports media let CoCo Gauff be a teenager as she rises in the Tennis ranks? And the Government continue to disrespect everyone involved in Grenfell.
In a week where:
- The Doomsday Clock is set to 100 seconds until midnight.
- Trump's Administration unveils their "Space Force" logo which is basically a Star Trek ripoff.
- Coronavirus starts to spread across the world.
- Sajid Javid unveils the new 50p coin to commemorative "The Exit". "Peace, Prosperity & friendship with all Nations."
- Boris Johnson greenlights Huawei to implement 5G in the UK.
- The UK is finally leaving the EU.
Kobe Bryant, along with her daughter Gianna & seven others died on Sunday in a freak helicopter crash. I wanted to pay respects to a sports legend; negative & positive. I also got help on words by Friend of 5E, Tianna Bartoletta.
In Sports: (32:14) CoCo Gauff is proving major by major that she's not a fluke and deserves a spot amongst the best in Women's Tennis. But how long will it be until fans & sports media move the goalposts as they did with Venus, Serena and many other black sports stars that dominated their game?
Lastly, in Life: (45:25) The Grenfell Inquiry slugs along but a month was wasted due to the government adding someone who had a previous relationship with the people that made the cladding that caused all this.
