EP 126: Oppression of Palestinian Football, Interview with Hemal Jhaveri, and Bandwagon Fans!

This week Brenda, Shireen and Jessica reflect on Lynsey Sharp's staggering (and giggle-worthy)loss [2:13]. The crews delves into a conversation about how Palestinian football and national joy is being targeted by the Israeli state, and how restricted mobility of players is a tool of oppression and continued violence in that region [4:58]. Then, Shireen interviews sports journalist Hemal Jhaveri about the case of harassment involving Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs, how violence against women is horribly reported by hockey media, and why she writes and speaks up in this industry the way she does [18:25]. Then the crew has a candid and introspective chat about bandwagon fans, and why they should or should not be welcomed into sport. As usual, Shireen inserts commentary about the 2019 NBA Champions [37:24] . Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile, [50:41] our Bad Ass Woman of the Week [1:01:01] and what is good in our worlds.
