Sports changes us, and we change sports. After touching on current events, Bob and Dave examine the world of sports from a critical lens. We ask whether a conscious person can still be a fan of sports, a world full of toxic power dynamics? What do sports show us about ourselves and our society? In a dystopia what do sports look like? And is it possible to think of sports in the future that doesn’t devolve into some Mad Max gladiator bloodbath?
