The Shamrock: A show about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Love the new format of going live on Fridays - a great perk of subscribing to The Athletic. Pete does a great job of providing balanced, insightful analysis on and off the field.

Ostermann is described as “a political scientist who studies state capacity, law and regulatory compliance,” but she has also placed much energy in recent years to promoting abortion and to denigrating those who oppose it. A mere listing of just some of her essays and op-eds—most written in collaboration with her one-time colleague Tamara Kay—published in the last five years gives a rather sickening sense of her views: “Medical fraud at crisis pregnancy centers should make us rethink policy”; “Banning abortion pill mifepristone would be a terrible policy choice and violate human rights”; “Abortion, racism and guns: How white supremacy unites the right”; “Forced pregnancy and childbirth are violence against women—and also terrible health policy.”

This is a great podcast for quality perspective on ND football. Pete and Matt are fair, level-headed, professionals. Terrific insights without any “manufactured drama”. 👍👍

Those were the best.
