The players, yes. The TV audience, yes, in part.
But the in-person audiences are a bunch of upper middle class white guys who send their kids to public school and typically vote for Republicans - total dingbats, trying to help the country by voting Republican, but, at the same time, destroying their kids so they can keep up with the Jones in their deed-restricted neighborhoods, while ‘proving’ they’re ‘not racist’ by driving into The City to watch a bunch of black millionaires play basketball.
