Bread and Circuses of a Dying Empire Ep. 126

by | Sep 28, 2019

With a nod to Mike Maharrey and Alan Mosely of the SportsBall Podcast (it’s OKAY to like sports), I talk about how my recent return to watching the Green Bay Packers disgusted me. I also talk about how the corruption and commercialization of sports is akin to the corruption at the heart of the US government.
