Olympics, Part 2! Surya, Tonya, and Simone
from A Vague Knowledge of Everything
In this episode, we discuss how many Olympians, particularly women, are exploited and pitted against each other in ways that have nothing to do with their chosen sports. From Surya Bonaly's amazing and illegal backflip, to Tonya Harding's vilification, to Simone Biles' courage in the face of horrible insult and mistreatment, the women of the Olympics have been treated heinously for years, and we needed to talk about it.
