America has had a love/hate, admire/despise relationship with Jake Paul, the internet star-turned-boxer and master of self-promotion who preys so artfully on our collective gullibility and willingness to buy almost anything.
I always surmised that feeling leaned rather heavily toward hate and despise, which seemed borne out Sunday in an arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It is always quite delicious when artifice is exposed. When we get to smile and say, “Shhh” to unearned arrogance.
