“this podcast has some good information, but it is ultimately politically inadequate for the moment. the nail in the coffin for me was episode 125, in which they discussed Palestine without centering Palestinian perspectives, struggle, and liberation. they talked about a ceasefire only, nothing...”Read full review »

“This podcast has been the most important bummer that I didn’t realize how much I needed. And I say that in the best way possible. I’m a kinesiology professor and despite years of education, I have never been exposed to the ideas the hosts discuss. It has profoundly changed the way I see the...”Read full review »

“The End of Sport provides a space for me to confront my love of sport with its (many) deep and complex flaws. With each episode I learn so much and feel better equipped to recognize and process these issues as I encounter them in real time. Can’t recommend more highly!”

“End of Sport is a thoughtful and engaging podcast whose experts interrogate the politics of collegiate and professional sports. Occasional guests bring additional expertise and experiences that help to shed light on the power dynamics and discriminatory practices that exist in the modern sports.”

“No matter what you believe it’s never a good idea to be completely close minded to others. This podcast personifies that horrible way of thinking/living.
Interesting topics but everything is drenched in self-proclaimed victimhood and moral superiority.”

“We can’t ignore the issues of race, inequality, sexism, or the exploitation of athletes, and this podcast tackles those head on, in a space which for many of us is the most uncomfortable to confront...sports.
This podcast is necessary listening for all sports fans, coaches, athletes, and academics.”
