Ep #136: How COVID-19 is affecting sports (again)

Roll up your sleeves (literally and figuratively) — on today’s episode, co-hosts Ellen and Steph are discussing how COVID-19 is (yet again) hitting the sports world. The Omicron variant is on the rise and the NBA, NFL, NHL and even the Olympics aren’t immune.
Producer’s note: While we’ll be taking a look at the virus from a sports perspective, we do want to acknowledge the very real, very human toll COVID-19 has had on our communities. We’ll link Dr. Clint Smith III’s article in The Atlantic in the show notes, but we’re sending love to everyone who’s lost someone due to the pandemic.
And stick around because the Washington Football Team (WFT) is back in the headlines, this time with the U.S. Congress asking the NFL to release all documents and evidence in relation to WFT owner Dan Snyder’s alleged interference into an investigation of the team’s workplace culture.
Thank you to FanDuel for sponsoring today’s episode. The NFL regular season may be winding down, but the fun is just getting started thanks to our weekly FanDuel fantasy football contest. By paying the small $2 entry fee, you’ll have the chance to win over $250 (!!!) in cash prizes.
