Ep 85: How USOC and USAG Enabled Nassar, Lack of Diversity in Sports Media but We Share Our Faves

The whole team is together for the last recorded episode of 2018! To wrap up the year, Amira, Jessica, Shireen, Brenda and Lindsay begin with a discussion about seasonal movies. [6:27] The women talk about the developments in the Nassar case and the most recent 267 paged report released by Ropes & Gray on how he was grossly enabled by USOC and USAG, and why this isn't the most widely covered story in sports. [22:18] Then the BIAD crew speaks about the ridiculous and non-shocking lack of diversity in sports media, but then they use the segment to amplify the work of amazing folks in sports media who might be under the radar. [36:14] Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, [49:40] our Bad Ass Woman of the Week - Rachael Denhollander, [53:04] and a lovely and extra-long what is good in our worlds.
