    Feed Drop: AITA? I'm Co-Hosting the World Cup with Mexico and Canada

    In 2018, when the United States, Mexico, and Canada were selected to co-host this year’s World Cup, it sounded like fun: three friendly democracies throwing the world's biggest soccer party. LOL. LMAO, even.  To kick off Season 2 of An American Game, Tom and Kirk take a look at our (longer than you think) soccer history with our northern and southern neighbors and put some color back on what’s become a pretty crude, black-and-white picture. Because despite all the recent division, we’re actually more connected than ever. And that's something to root for this summer! Listen to An American Game wherever you get your podcasts.  Follow the show on Instagram.  For more of Tom and Kirk’s work, visit soccertownmedia.com.  SPORTLY CREDITS: Host: Kavitha A.

    How Formula One Driver Management Decides Champions (June 2025)

    This is a re-run of Sportly's June 2025 episode: "Let Them Race? McLaren Vs. Red Bull’s F1 Strategy War " What happens when McLaren lets its star drivers race without limits and Red Bull doesn’t? The 2026 Formula One season is officially a "hard reset" for the sport. With a total regulation overhaul, cars are becoming smaller, lighter, and more complex. Drivers will now juggle 50/50 hybrid power units and active aerodynamics while fighting for position with a brand-new "Overtake Mode". As the competitive order resets, the most critical factor for success shifts from the factory to the pit wall: driver management. This Sportly episode explores the high-stakes decisions team principals face when the rulebook is rewritten. We dive into the controversial world of team orders, examining why some teams, like Red Bull, enforce strict hierarchies while others, like McLaren, let their drivers "race freely" - sometimes with disastrous results. From the teammate collision at the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix to the calculated strategies of the past, we unpack the wins and failures that will define the 2026 grid. When the engines fire up and the risks are higher than ever, will teams play it safe or let their drivers take the wheel? Host: Kavitha A.

    Courtside Stories: Rivalries, Redemption, and Prison Reform? (January 2025)

    What if a basketball game could offer more than just a win? For the final episode of 2025, we revisit San Quentin, where the Golden State Warriors face off against incarcerated players in a decade-long rivalry that’s redefining second chances. But are these programs as beneficial as they seem, or do they risk perpetuating systemic injustices? From historic prison sports leagues to global initiatives like the Twinning Project, host Kavitha A. Davidson uncovers the untold stories of how sports inspire hope, foster connections, and spark debate about the role of rehabilitation in the justice system. Host: Kavitha A.

    2025 in Sports: Legacy, Scandals, and the Stories That Shaped the Year

    As 2025 comes to a close, Sportly looks back at a year that reshaped sports far beyond the scoreboard. Host Kavitha Davidson reflects on defining moments across leagues and borders—from historic performances by A’ja Wilson and Shohei Ohtani to the cultural impact of the NBA’s new media era, the resurgence of tennis rivalries, and the continued growth of women’s sports. This year-end episode revisits some of Sportly’s most meaningful stories, including the political legacy of ping-pong diplomacy, the origins of women’s sports in the U.S., the Boston Marathon as a site of collective memory, Canada’s national identity through the Toronto Blue Jays, and the ongoing fight for Indigenous sovereignty in lacrosse ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The episode also confronts the more complex truths of 2025: sports betting scandals, labor disputes, media consolidation, and what happens when billion-dollar sports institutions struggle to regulate themselves.  Looking ahead, Kavitha explores what’s coming next: the 2026 World Cup in North America, the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and the unanswered questions that will define the future of sports. Sportly is a podcast about sports, culture, politics, and identity, and why the stories behind the games matter just as much as the games themselves. Host: Kavitha A.

    Joon Lee on the Cost of Being a Sports Fan

    Former ESPN journalist Joon Lee joins Sportly host Kavida Davidson for a wide-ranging, candid conversation about what comes after leaving the sports media “mothership” and why the industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. Lee reflects on being laid off from ESPN, how the brand continues to shape credibility long after his departure, and why sports media has become increasingly decentralized. He breaks down the real cost of being a sports fan today, from fragmented streaming services and rising ticket prices to the quiet erosion of community that once made sports a shared cultural experience. The conversation dives deep into Joon Lee’s New York Times op-eds on sports affordability and sports gambling, including how private equity, streaming wars, and legalized betting are reshaping leagues, journalism, and fan trust. Lee also explains why he declines gambling sponsorships on his YouTube channel, what accountability means in the creator economy, and why trust, not outrage, may be the most valuable currency in modern sports media. Plus, Joon Lee shares behind-the-scenes insight into his viral NASCAR video with Jimmie Johnson, what it taught him about athleticism and fear, and why YouTube, not traditional media, is where he sees the future of sports journalism. A thoughtful, unsparing look at fandom, money, media, and what we lose when sports become inaccessible. Host: Kavitha A.

    From Palermo’s to The Sports Bra: Inside the Evolution of the American Sports Bar (October 2025)

    Sports journalist, Kavitha Davidson explores how bars once built for straight, white men evolved to include women, immigrants, and queer communities, creating a new sports culture. (This is a re-run of a popular Sportly episode.) What do beer-soaked bleachers, immigrant taverns, and feminist bar owners have in common? They all shaped the modern American sports bar. From Palermo’s Tavern in St. Louis, often recognized as America’s first sports bar, to The Sports Bra in Portland, the first bar dedicated entirely to women’s sports, this episode traces how these spaces became America’s unofficial living rooms.

    The NCAA’s Financial Freefall with Jesse Dougherty

    College sports aren’t just expensive; they are financially upside down. In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson sits down with Washington Post college sports reporter Jesse Dougherty for a sharp, clear-eyed breakdown of the NCAA’s spiraling money crisis. The episode cuts through the noise to explain: Why coaching salaries and buyouts have exploded to NFL-level numbers How the new $20 million athlete compensation model actually works Why boosters now influence hiring and firing more than ever How NIL changed the landscape in ways the NCAA never anticipated Why minor sports are being cut even as revenues hit the billions Whether private equity and Congress can fix any of this or make it worse Dougherty brings deep reporting and uncommon clarity to one of the most misunderstood issues in sports: the real economics of college athletics. You'll hear what’s driving the spending arms race, what’s myth vs. reality, and whether the current NCAA model is even sustainable. If you care about NIL, athlete pay, conference realignment, or how college sports became a financial runaway train, this interview delivers the insight you’ve been looking for. Tune in for a conversation that’s fast, honest, and impossible to un-hear. Host: Kavitha A.

    The Haudenosaunee Created Lacrosse, but They’re Still Fighting to Play Under Their Own Flag

    Lacrosse didn’t begin in prep-school hallways or elite East Coast programs; its roots sit firmly with the Haudenosaunee, the Indigenous creators of North America’s oldest sport. As lacrosse returns to the Olympic stage for the first time in 75 years, the community that invented the game may once again be left on the sidelines. In this episode of Sportly, the host Kavitha Davidson dives into the powerful, often erased history of lacrosse, from a thousand-year-old ceremonial game to the packed 2015 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship on Haudenosaunee land. The episode revisits the rise of the Thompson Brothers, the dominance of box lacrosse, and the political battles that have kept Indigenous athletes from competing under their own flag. Now, with the introduction of Lacrosse Sixes and the 2028 LA Olympics on the horizon, a defining question emerges: Will the Olympics finally allow the Haudenosaunee Nationals to compete as a sovereign team? Featuring gripping storytelling, historical context, and the voices of players who have carried this game for generations, this episode explores not just a sport but a movement for recognition, sovereignty, and justice.
