Are you ready for some football? Not really. But Diz regales us a bit about the Superbowl in particular discussing the perception of athletes of color vs white athletes. We talk about the nature of double standards and the professionalization of sports. We discuss the recent republican debate focusing on Rubio and Cruz as equally, if not more frightening than Trump. We talk about Rubio’s weird malfunction moment and how weird it is that messing up a debate can ruin your political chances where as Trump keeps saying racist stuff and it hasn’t hurt him. We discuss how unlikable Cruz is as a person and people’s experiences of him while he was growing up. Then continuing the trend of distasteful people we talk Martin Shkreli and how much of a loser he is.
