Flushing is Burning: Jackie Robinson Day

Flushing is Burning is back after a fun week of Mets baseball. Grace begins by talking about the Mets bounceback, and Brett Baty (and the teams) looser nature, with a clearly different vibe this year. She also discusses the upcoming City Connect jerseys, and Jackie Robinson and his impact. Next, she dives into the recent news surrounding the transgender sports ban executive order in Nassau County, New York. She talks about the news surrounding it and gives her thoughts on the ridiculous and harmful nature of the law and the potential danger of its ripple effects.  Finally, she has another one-two punch of a movie minute, a double feature of documentaries that are meant to be served as a package. They're political, one frightening and one hopeful, but both excellent. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at [email protected]!
