Hoops (Canceled)
Hoops is a canceled animated sitcom that was set to air on Netflix. The show was about a dysfunctional high school basketball team and their coach, a hot-headed, short-tempered, and inappropriate but well-meaning man named Benny. Despite the performance being well-received by audiences, it was canceled due to controversy over one of the lead voice actors, Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, having a history of making racially insensitive remarks. The controversy sparked a more extensive discussion about the representation and treatment of marginalized communities in the entertainment industry. Hoops’ cancellation serves as an example of the increased accountability and responsibility companies face when creating content that aligns with their values.
