Ep.133 - Lee Vs Tarantino, NCAA N.I.L. & More Olympics BS

In a week where:

  1. Bill Cosby is out of prison.
  2. Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson is served a one-month suspension for having weed.
  3. England will drop COVID restrictions on July 19th.
  4. All US & NATO forces leave Afghanistan.
  5. Three men, part of the 'Stockwell Six' have their convictions overturned after 50 years.

In the first of three Sports segments: (5:07) The NCAA has finally given in and US College athletes can do the simple task of making money whilst also being a "student-athlete". What a result of something that really never should've been an issue.

In Film/TV: (19:18) Shannon Lee, daughter of the legendary Bruce Lee, has come back to rinse Quentin Tarantino once again after Tarantino doubles down on that scene from OUATIH as he goes on a book tour for the novelised version of said film.

In the 2nd Sports segment: (33:59) With less than 20 days until the Tokyo Olympics, athletes and nations are starting to map out logistics. And as you can imagine, it's going to be interesting to see how over 11,000 athletes from over 200 Nations will make it to Tokyo.

Lastly, in the 3rd Sports segment: (48:31) Black women left & right are being shot down by sports governing bodies for various reasons. From weed to genetics, to freaking swim caps; it's getting silly and disrespectful on multiple levels.
