Episode 57: Euphemisms in Sports & Our Book Club
Aug 8
·
77 minutes
We start this week with the news, including Curry's adventure on the golf course and Neymar to PSG. Further, we dig into the NBA abroad and the progression of CTE research. Then we announce our first book club selection, Selection Day by Aravind Adiga. Join us in reading and discussing this book about cricket team selection in modern Mumbai. In our cycling and cricket updates, we talk about unions and Lance's legacy. The main section this week is on how harmful euphemisms can be in sports and how coded our language is when we talk about athletes. Lastly, our I think pieces are on Kaepernick and longevity in sports. (The irony was completely unintentional.)
