Summary
As I told Chuck Klosterman, I planned to do a pod on his Football book with non sports fan Rob Henderson . So what did our favorite sports agnostic intellectual think of such a deep dive into America’s favorite game? Topics! Include! * When one’s job is a bigger marker of identity than one’s race * Is the NFL a more positive racial story than what gets relayed in media? * Why did conservative media know football was coming back during Covid? * Most retired NFL players have painful daily injuries. Most of the injured have no regrets * How does NFL culture deal with certain positions being higher/lower Wonderlic? * Libs are fine with young women doing Only Fans; Cons are fine with young NFL players damaging their brains * Rob Henderson is fascinated by the gender implications of how the WNBA reacted to Caitlin Clark * Why are NBA teammates rarely friends? * Rob is interested in why soccer is an elite sport in America but working class sport elsewhere * Rob and I both loved one particular passage in Klosterman’s book about how his dad reacted to Doug Flutie’s miracle play This is a public episode.
