Matthew Hodler is Assistant Professor of Sports Media and Communication at the Harrington School of Communication and Media at the University of Rhode Island. Kyle Kusz is Professor of English and Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Rhode Island. We sit down with Matt and Kyle to discuss their 2023 publication “‘Saturdays Are For The Boys’: Barstool Sports and the Cultural Politics of White Fratriarchy in Contemporary America” in Sociology of Sport Journal and, more broadly, Barstool Sports.   The conversation ranges from a history of Barstool Sports, why it has been critiqued for racism and misogyny, and, ultimately, how we should understand its role in a conjuncture that has seen the rise of a MAGA fascist politics that aligns with Barstool's ideological tendencies.   The End of Sport Podcast is a proud member of the Harbinger Media Network, your left podcast community.
