In this episode Jessica Luther, Brenda Elsey and Lindsay Gibbs talk about so-called "cancel culture" in sport. But first, they talk about about the meaning of footballers Cam Newton and Dani Alves returning to their home teams. Then, sparked by Aaron Rodgers's recent "I'm immunized" drama, the team discusses the myriad of ways that "cancel culture" in sport has been wielded to avoid accountability for lying, harassment, abuse and more. Following the main discussion, you'll hear a preview of Shireen Ahmed's interview with Ashley Lawrence, Canadian gold medalist and finalist for the prestigious global football award, the Ballon d'Or. Next, they burn all the worst garbage of sports this week in The Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those making sports better, including Torchbearer of the Week, FORMIGA!, the legendary Brazilian footballer who recently announced her retirement from international play. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
