Latent transphobia was tough to ignore
Granted I’ve only listened to one episode, episode 360, but the latent transphobia in the discussion was hard not to notice. The description of the episode says it all. They didn’t want to do it but at the behest of the team, who were desperate for friendly press, they discussed the Sounders partnering with a right wing company known for dehumanizing trans people, taking advantage of poor people and refusing to offer abortion services The host was obviously bored and was completely unprepared stumbling over questions that were softballs lobbed up so the team reps could rattle off their pr talking points. They were never asked how they squared their stated commitment to youth mental health with the fact that they explicitly exclude trans kids from receiving necessary mental health because their new partner is opposed to doing so. This omission was purposeful. No mention was made of the wider attacks on trans rights across the country and how this partnership fits into that context This show might be good for people who believe that sports need to be compartmentalized and never discussed with an eye to wider society. But if you see that sports don’t happen in a vacuum and can’t be separated out from the wider world there are far better podcasts

This podcast is #1 on my list to listen to each week. Oshan, Campeau, and the Ginge produce a wonderful extension to the Sounder at Heart community.

Beyond doing audio checks and using podcaster "hacks"...Read full review »
