episode 107: Straws
California’s new legislation allowing college athletes to make money off endorsements. One step forward. The backlash against victims who came forward in the wake of #MeToo. Two steps back. Does big, sustainable change have to feel like grasping at straws?
Discussed this week:
- “California Tells the N.C.A.A. to Share, and It Pitches a Fit.” (Michael Powell, The New York Times, Oct. 4, 2019)
- “The Toll of Me Too.” (Rebecca Traister, The Cut, Sept. 30, 2019)
