Sunderland: A Sad Story Makes An Interesting Show

This week we starting off talking UCLA and Under Armour and the coming disastrous restarts. We spend a bit of time on controversy in the disc golf world and then move into some talk about our appreciation for Adam Silver.

Our main topic this week is the Netflix show Sunderland Til I Die. How does it glorify and perpetuate problematic narratives of sports teams as saviors? What happens when an owner stops investing? Why should we humanize leadership? How much does leadership matter? Why do we love English soccer?
