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 »

I’m a retired prof, and this podcast has provided my continuing ed class in inequality, period; not only in the harms of sport. Impressive!

One of my new favorites. Keep it up y’all!

This podcast provides incredible insight on the complex issues within sport. The hosts and guests are all extremely well educated and do a wonderful job of diving deep into the various topics discussed each episode with the intention to progress and better the world of sport. I highly recommend!!

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.

I cant believe I took any time to listen to this race bating, victimhood crap. Quit batching and sack up. You are weak and embarrassing.
Sheltonmassacre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/21
I was a sometimes-listener for awhile, up until last fall. After a string of incredible, invigorating guests, like Max Alvarez and Amanda Mull, I went back and ran through the whole catalogue, paying much closer attention. I’m so glad I did. I’ve always had a complicated relationship with sports;...Read full review »

As a Southern union organizer and lifelong sports fan, particularly college basketball (Go Duke, sorry), this is a thoughtful and accessible show for sports fan lefties to 1) show our comrades on the left that sports matter to our struggles, and 2) show our sports fan friends the nuances of how...Read full review »

No matter your involvement with sport, this podcast shares an extremely insightful and well researched view into the unseen workings behind sport competitions. As a graduate student at a D1 school, I really value the perspectives of student athletes and support them in pursuing equitable and safe...Read full review »

If you want to listen to people cry and play victim all day, you’ll love this podcast! Johanna thinks that she’s important cause he cries on twitter all day about everything everyone is doing. Awful podcast by awful people

Great, interesting insight into sports.
ughusernamessuck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/21
As we say in black church, “you betta preach”. Dynamic fact based show that laid bear the systemic baked in racism plaguing and exploiting young black bodies and minds. You are true allies to African Americans. I applaud your work. Well done.
judie saunders law via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/21
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.
PapaJustify via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/21
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.

If you’re a sports fan, this podcast WILL challenge you and many things you believe. But maybe that’s just what you need. It’s enlightening and pulls no punches.
mcsprague via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/21
As someone who recently started exploring intersectionality, this podcast really engaged me and expanded the way I understood sports. Interesting guests offering historian and athlete perspectives often omitted in the mainstream. Helped me have the epiphany that sports are more than just a game...Read full review »

What a bunch of nonsense from beginning to end! Wasted my time for 40 minutes....no significant noteworthy commentary from any of the hosts....
JeffreySilveira via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/21
Thanks to these intellectuals, I am now fluent in the art of victimhood. Seeing everything through a scope of race-relations and non-existent exploits are so refreshing. Down with college sports!
ggman7117 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/21
Being a college athlete is a choice and something that many people dream of.. no one has to play. The victim perspective is ugly.
IndyHoosier86 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/21
Don’t waste your time on this left sided trash.
dan dakych via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/21
Insightful commentary on the sports world history from three excellent hosts who really know their stuff. All the conversations you wanted to have with your fantasy football league about the wider world of sport (but were afraid to start). Must listen
rmfoschia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/21
If you just watch sport to be entertained, then this isn’t for you; just move on. However, if you understand that sport is made possible by people and systems of oppression don’t disappear when these people step onto the court/field/ice, and you want to engage critically with these issues, then...Read full review »

As a life long sports fan it would seem incompatible to appreciate and enjoy the end of sport podcast. However this podcast has been intellectually nourishing when typical sports coverage lacks any nourishment and self reflection. It seeks to be part of something positive, that does not reproduce...Read full review »

This academic exposé of sport’s seamy underbelly is fascinating

It’s really lovely to have a podcast like this when there’s so much of the same out there — insightful and a breath of fresh air.

The work done by this team will help shape your understanding and have you better grasp the need for cultural reform in sport.

Really important podcast that highlights the intersection of race, class and gender in sport in meaningful ways. I highly recommended this podcast and have encouraged my students to listen too.

A great show!

The writers of this podcast have infinite experience and wisdom. Their knowledge comes through both in terms of content and the breadth of topics covered.

Whether you’re a serious or casual podcaster, this is one you’ll want to keep in your rotation. Come for the sports, stay for the in-depth, real-world discussions. Every episode will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the topic at hand. Nathan and Johanna are a great team.

It's too easy to forget the heroes playing through their pain and giving 110% are humans who may have to live most of their lives suffering the aftereffects. At least we can be informed.Read full review »

Oh my god Nathan and Johanna just complain the entire time and both think they are the smartest people in the country covering sports. I feel like I should get some sort of compensation for sitting thru 2 episodes
TMSec via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/21
I was looking for a fresh and interesting new sports podcast, unfortunately I found this one. Three hours I will never get back, too much race baiting and it’s not what I want to hear. I get enough of that from the media.
Slowsteveo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/20
Such a great podcast for anyone interested in a critical view on the behind of scenes of sport. Really fascinating guests, great questions, research and background by the hosts. Just started listening this week and have already gone through 10 episodes. So good, really enjoying it! Highly recommend.
Ciara McCormack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/20
Great podcast! The ethics of college athletics have deserved scrutiny for a long time even before this world health crisis. Constructive feedback- try reducing the use of filler words , “sort of”, “like” ... 🧐🤓

Great podcast, timely and interesting topics.
Al8712 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/13/20
If you want a full on left leaning fear mongering podcast this one is for you!!! Sadly heavily opinion and feeling based was hoping to hear more useful facts but only heard biased opinions. An hour of my time wasted!!!!

Have really enjoyed listening to this podcast and hearing insightful conversations from each of the guests!
Emma Benner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/20
This is a wonderfully insightful podcast about critical issues in sports, politics, the academy, and more. The hosts are not afraid to offer scathing critiques about sports and labor that need to be addressed, while simultaneously implicating their own interest and fandom in topics as one of...Read full review »

This is a thought provoking show that’s great for sports fans and non sports fans alike! With society in upheaval it’s a great time to question the world around us, and this show does just that.
