Episode 26: The NBA Boycott Crunching Tackles

    • Sport

When the NBA shut down for the second time in 2020, the reason was very different. What did the NBA players gain by staging a boycott of games for a few days? Was this helpful to their cause? Should they finish this season?

On this week's podcast, we discuss:
- Why the NBA players chose to boycott
- What the increase in politics mean for sports
- Why some athletes may feel left out of the conversation
- What Barcelona got wrong with Lionel Messi
- And why we are Anakin Skywalker but want to be Obi-Wan Kenobi.
