Burn It All Down

In this episode Amira Rose Davis, Brenda Elsey and Jessica Luther are back with the latest on Covid-19 chaos. But first they share the video clips that have made them happy. Then, they discuss the many ways sports are navigating Covid surges, including: tennis player Novak Djokovic's scheme to play in the Australian open, the ridiculous events of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in football/soccer, and how the NBA is banking on disaster capitalism. Following this discussion, you'll hear a preview of Jessica's interview with Angel Flores, powerlifter and Queer Eye season 6 guest. Then, the team burns the worst of the sports this week on The Burn Pile. Next, they lift up those making sports better, including Torchbearer of the Week, Natalie Simon, who is the first Black woman to earn a FIFA referee badge. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website spe
