Ep 151: Transphobic legislation, NFL Free Agency Madness, and Dr. Adia Benton on Sports and COVID-19

This week the gang’s all here with feelings of solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic. We talk about the humor of social media in dark times. Then, we discuss the terrible legislation barring transathletes from participating in school sports [9:24] and suggest how to stop its passing. Jessica sits down with cultural anthropologist Dr. Adia Benton to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on sports [20:31]. Finally, it's Shireen's turn to lead us into our conversation on Tom Brady, Cam Newton, and NFL Free Agency [38:05]. Of course you’ll hear the Burn Pile [57:36], our Bad Ass Woman of the Week and what is good in our worlds.
