After a year-long investigation into racist, sexist, and toxic workplace behavior, the NBA has suspended Phoenix Suns' owner Robert Sarver for one year and have fined him $10 million. But for many people inside and outside of the league, this punishment hasn't gone far enough. This week, we discuss:
3:02: Roger Federer has retired from men's tennis. We reflect on his career and the timing of his decision.
13:35: The College Football Playoff has announced an expansion from four teams to 12 teams for the college football postseason. We discuss whether this is a good decision, and how it will impact the conference realignments we have been seeing in the past two years.
24:52: The American owner of Chelsea came under fire for comments he made wanting the English Premier League to more closely resemble American sports. We debate whether the backlash against him was fair, and if his points had any merit.
33:53: BIG STORY—Robert Sarver has been suspended by the NBA. We look at the reaction to the announcement of the suspension, and see how this situation is similar and different to Donald Sterling, the owner that received a much harsher punishment for similar behavior.
58:29: The Rings of Power episode 4 was a bit slower paced, but provided some excellent setup for the remainder of the season. We look back on the episode and what we can learn about the characters who seem the most important to the story so far.
