Show notes

This week we start by noting that the sports world was quite boring this week. Nothing grabbed our attention and maybe that's a good thing. Then we move into a discussion of The Last Dance. How do we understand Rodman in our context? How did Jordan become who he is? How valuable was Jerry Krause to this team? Then we move into our main topic: the 1980 Olympic Boycott. How do we understand Jimmy Carter's decision to boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics? How has the decision aged? How did it impact Carter's legacy? Was it effective? Could it ever happen again? Lastly, we finish with a new trivia segment! Music: Trad Godsey
