Special Episode - I Miss You How Will Contact Sports Die? Rugby League and Professional Wrestling Case Studies with Liam Callaghan from the Maroon Observer

We all love contact sports, don’t we? As long as we don’t think too much about concussion, and the lifelong injuries the players sustain and the risk of death. It makes a lot of money and it’s fun so it’s all good! They’ll be around forever!Well actually, some people think contact sports like rugby league and pro wrestling have a limited lifespan. To discuss this topic, Lonnie and Dylan invited Liam Callaghan, a sports writer who runs the Maroon Observer newsletter, to discuss exactly how contact sports might see their demise. Not the most hilarious topic, and who knows, maybe we’re totally wrong – but we certainly sound like we know what we’re on about. Spoiler: nothing is easy to stop when money is on the line. Check out Liam’s work at the Maroon Observer and Blue Skyhttps://www.maroonobserver.com/about https://bsky.app/profile/www.maroonobserver.com Contact us at [email protected]  We’re lonely.
