Summary

It's Jessica's publishing day!! In this episode, Lindsay Gibbs celebrates by interviewing Jessica Luther and Kavitha Davidson on their new book, "Loving Sports When They Don't Love You Back: Dilemmas of the Modern Sports Fan." The three discuss how this book came to be, how they feel about doping, and whether recent events -- from Black Lives Matter strikes in the NBA and WNBA, to racist and sexist NWSL and MLS owner Dell Loy Hansen being shamed into selling his shares -- give them any hope about the future of sports.
