Ep #135: Larry Nassar, the Olympics and institutional failure in sports

In today’s important episode, co-hosts Ellen and Steph are tackling a pernicious and prevalent problem across sports: institutional failure.Given yesterday’s announcement that USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committees agreed to pay a $380 million settlement to survivors of former U.S. Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar, today El and Steph are covering the latest from that case and discussing power imbalances across organizations and leagues. And we do want to mention that this episode includes discussion of sexual assault, so please do what’s best for you.  Today’s episode is brought to you by Scotiabank.
