3. Trump, Sports, COVID

This week on the Bill Bradley Collective, the hosts examine Donald Trump’s efforts from high atop his Twitter pulpit to influence how our sporting landscape navigates the COVID-19 pandemic. A concentrated nod to Trump’s perceived-electorally expedient (and answered) call on the Big 10 to salvage their previously-aborted college football season sets the table for a discussion that attempts to hammer home how every amoral machination from 45’s mouth and cell-phone as it regards to sports comes solely in the interest of retaining his position post-November 3rd. First the rants, as Zak gives a precursor to the election-oriented content coming your way from the Collective with a preview of what to watch for this week as Trump and Joe Biden share the stage for the 1st of their three debates, Ed (and Zak with some real venom) blast away in the direction of failson Matt Lieberman, the latest in his lineage to disgrace the Democratic Party and the most likely recipient of a thank-you card from the desk of Kelly Loeffler five weeks from now, and Andrew gives an update on Colby Covington’s place in the worst-person-in-sports hierarchy following his latest audition for the position of America’s Next Top Sycophant.
