This new episode is available now on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] , Spotify [[link removed]] and MsMagazine.com [[link removed]] .
In this episode, On the Issues host Michele Goodwin is joined by the ACLU’s Ria Tabacco Mar to unpack the inequities and controversies of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games—from rulings targeting Black athletes like Sha’Carri Richardson, to COVID protests taking place just outside the stadium, to transphobia directed at the first openly trans athletes to ever compete on this highest international stage.
They ask: Is the Olympics an uneven playing field? And if so, how can that be changed?
“We've seen these disparities for a long time. They're nothing new. But what is new is this growing sense of outrage, this growing sense that we won't take it anymore, that we won't be silent. We're going to speak the truth about the pay disparity, and we're going to speak the truth about what's expected of us that's not expected of men." —Ria Tabacco Mar
