Episode 5, BONUS!! Moral and Sports Philosopher, Justin Caouette, on Sportswashing and Sports Love

BONUS EPISODE!!!! ORIGINALLY RECORDED ON February 2024. Enjoy!

In an age of sports journalism where ESPN canceled Bob Ley’s Outside the Lines and HBO/Warner Discovery canceled Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, and the recent New York Post report By Ryan Glasspiegel that Around the Horn will be canceled before the 2025 football season, sports journalism has been marginalized. In response, John Camacho and Zack Hamilton created The Moral Questions of Sports to address the intersection of sport, business, legal, and moral issues.

One of these controversial topics is Sportswashing and Sports Love.

This is a BONUS episode. It was originally recorded in February after the Kansas City Chiefs Parade Shooting.
