This week on Serious Fun – is there such a thing as ethical sports fandom? Or does the often exploitative nature of college and professional sports mean that we’re complicit in some of the very things to which we are often morally opposed? Bryan sits down with freelance journalist Jessica Luther, author of “Unsportsmanlike Conduct: College Football and the Politics of Rape”, to discuss her work as well as topics ranging from the systemic problems inherent in college and other levels of athletics to the role the media play in perpetuating these problems to what we can do to challenge the status quo and make sports more inclusive.
