In this episode, Shireen Ahmed and Amira Rose Davis discuss who the sporting world has responded to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But first, they talk about their favorite recent concerts, including Bad Bunny and a candlelight Vivaldi quartet. Then, they dive into the ways athletes and sporting institutions have reacted to the Queen's death, including messages of reverence and resistance. The also discuss the ways sports like football and cricket have been used by the British monarchy as a tool of colonialism and cultural power, and how former and current common wealth countries have used sport as a way to decolonize themselves from the British throne. Following this discussion, they preview a special Patreon segment about Welcome to Wrexham, a documentary about how actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny became heads of the Welsh football club Wrexham. Then, you'll here a preview of this week's interview with Daniel Sailofksy, a sociologist who recently ended his NFL fandom because of the violence in the league. Next, they burn some of the worst in sports this week on the Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those shining light, including Torchbearer of the Week, Carlos Alcaraz, who made history with his men’s singles US Open win, and becoming the youngest world number 1 ranking in men's tennis at the age of 19. They wrap up the show with What's Good and What We're Watching In Sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist.
