Summary
Sage Steele joins Riley Gaines for a wide-ranging conversation on sports, culture, politics, motherhood, and faith. They begin with the NFL’s Pride Month messaging and the difference between league-level statements and individual team posts. Riley and Sage discuss whether corporate sports are backing away from political messaging, why locker rooms used to feel like one of the few places where differences did not matter, and why fans may be tired of being lectured by sports leagues. The conversation turns to Jackson Dart, backlash from left-leaning sports media, and why Sage believes courage from young athletes can encourage others to speak up. Riley and Sage also discuss parenting, discipline, online criticism, the “unfollow” culture, and how conviction matters even when people disagree. Later, Riley and Sage react to Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson’s executive order on menopause and workplace accommodations, the rise of Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles politics, Karen Bass, homelessness, crime, wildfires, and what voters may want from outsider candidates.
