Show notes

This week we discuss the ongoing drama between Mo Farah and Haile Gebreselassie. They have been engaging in a remarkably petty public feud. There have been numerous allegations thrown back and forth and, inevitably, doping allegations have sprung up again. We're interested about how we respond to these kinds of feuds, why athletes need this kind of fuel and how we truly can't understand life in Ethiopia. There is so much to unpack in this little story. We also talk about a number of niche sports, the nature of modern golf in the Middle East and some playoffs (Champions League and NBA). Thanks for another week!
