A Show of Their Own

Morgan and Laura go over a grab bag of topics mostly related to COVID 19’s impact on sports and sports’ reactions to George Floyd’s murder and the resulting protests. Here’s a fun game: count how many times Laura and Morgan say “Don’t do it!”

Akim Aliu had a great article this week in The Players’ Tribune titled Hockey Is Not For Everyone. Morgan and Laura dove into all of the profound points in the article as well as the broader topic of inclusivity in sports, why it matters, and some of the shortcomings they’ve seen.
