Summary

Jason dives into the vaccine controversy in the wake of Kirk Cousins’ refusal to take the jab. How is the Vikings quarterback’s stand similar to boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s unpopular political statements in the 1960s? “Fearless” contributor Greg Couch looks at the problems of professional athletes in the Olympics — from Michael Jordan’s 1992 Dream Team to Naomi Osaka and Novak Djokovic. Jason asks “Fearless” columnist Delano Squires about the controversies with DaBaby and Congresswoman Cori Bush. Plus, Uncle Jimmy takes us back to 1988 with his COVID re-mix of a Bobby Brown classic.
