Sports In Society

This week we start with a lengthy discussion of the news. We touch on the turmoil in Cleveland, Jordan Spieth & the British Open and Federer's amazing longevity. In both the cricket and cycling updates, we touch on how the women's sports are growing, but still struggling. Our main topic for the week is how we consume sports and the ways that things are changing. We talk about how computers and AI are going to change reporting. Further, we talk about how revenue is down for sports broadcasters and what that means for big contracts and sustainability in sports. Finally, our I think pieces touch on amateur sports and the benefits of world tours for soccer teams.
