Note: Next week, Burn It All Down has a live show at the University of Notre Dame on October 11. Reserve a free ticket here. In this episode, Shireen Ahmed, Lindsay Gibbs and Jessica Luther dive into the most recent cheating scandals in sport. But first, they talk about where they would put a new franchise of an unestablished sport. Then, they discuss the latest in sports soap operas. First is chess, where a teenage takedown of a longtime world champion, caused said champion to quit a $500,000 tournament. Unfounded rumors around the teenager's cheating include anal beads. Second, is a pro-fishing tournament where winners were caught with prize-winning walleye stuffed with other fish and lead weights to make them heavier. Third, is the wild turn of events at the women's PSG football club, where arrests have been re-made concerning a hired violent attack on a player, that was instigated by a teammate. Fourth is the round-about conversations in the media on what is the true homerun record Aaron Judge is trying to break. Fifth, is a risky, perhaps unwise, multi-bluff hero play in a poker match, where the actual winner was bullied into giving her quarter of a million prize to the loser, because he couldn't fathom he actually lost, so she must have cheated. Following this discussion, they preview a special Patreon segment about recent demonstrations Iran after the killing of Mahsa Amini, and how sport is both used a tool of the state and of protest. Then, you'll here a preview of this week's interview w three women in US rugby: Kerri Heffernan, a former player and coach, and currently the Chair of the Women’s Rugby Coaches and Referees Association; Kat Aversano, the head coach of the Howard University women’s rugby team; and Alycia Washington, one of the top current players in the US. Listen to get ready for the Rugby Union World Cup that starts Saturday, October 8, in New Zealand. Next, they burn some of the worst in sports on the Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those shining light, including Torchbearers of the Week, all of the Puerto Rican athletes, including the Puerto Rican national men's ice hockey team and the Puerto Rican national women's basketball team, who dedicated recent victories to the victims of Hurricane Fiona. They wrap up the show with What's Good and What We're Watching In Sports this week. To attend a Live Show of Burn It All Down at Notre Dame on October 11, reserve a free ticket here.
