This episode argues that sports and politics are inseparable, using Hunter Hess's Winter Olympics remarks as a recent example of athletes speaking out about what's happening in the United States. It references historical protests from John Carlos and Tommy Smith to Colin Kaepernick, and makes the case that athletes are citizens with platforms who should be allowed and respected when they voice political concerns.
