Episode 3361: The Steelers And The Vikings At Croker
Good morning sports fans! Today, it’s time to talk (American) football! We’ve already done the Dave Zirin “It’s a total disgrace that the NFL/USA/Trump have been welcomed with open arms” show.
We’re joined in studio by the sports editor at The Nation, David Zirin, who is in Dublin to warn Ireland about the dangers of getting into bed with the NFL, which he describes as a “Trumpist Trojan Horse”.https://t.co/uxcODKp2Mc pic.twitter.com/5lpYrlBDJT
