Summary

On Episode 15 of Burn It All Down: Brenda Elsey, Julie DiCaro, Shireen Ahmed, Jessica Luther, and Lindsay Gibbs talk about back-to-school for student athletes, Caster Semenya commentary, and the NFL suspension of Ezekiel Elliott. We catch up on the highlights from the IAAF world championships in London, where Usain Bolt reminds us that athletes are only human after all. Julie also interviewed the amazing Andrea Kremer about the industry’s double standards and her journey from a ballerina to badass sportswoman. We then take rape cases, xenophobia, and ICE to the burn pile and celebrate some of the bad ass women (and girls) in sports. Key Points From This Episode: • Is Josh Rosen just a whiney millennial? • Can football and college really co-exist? • Ezekiel Elliot’s domestic violence case. • Should the NFL get credit for believing a woman? • We are only human after IAAF. • How we should be writing about Caster Semenya. • Double standards and Andrea Kremer’s advice for women in sports. • How to juggle the multi-platform sports journalism today. • The Burn Pile. • And much more!
