Why Philly Needs a Sports Mayor

Whether you love our Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, or Sixers, one thing is clear: Philly is a very sports-oriented city. But is there something missing in our sports culture? Host Trenae Nuri talks with Diana Lind, writer and urban policy specialist, about why she thinks Philly needs a sports mayor, and what that role could look like here.

Check out Diana’s Substack, The New Urban Order, where she makes the case for sports mayors.
