Manage episode 489469614 series 2818165
Caitlin Clark torches the WNBA’s best, Kevin Durant looks for another exit, and NFL front offices implode before training camp. Plus, the Department of Homeland Security is amplifying Stephen A. Smith to attack Senator Alex Padilla, and ICE is already showing up at Club World Cup matches. But in our deep dive: what happens when the U.S. government treats the World Cup like a threat? With Trump reviving travel bans and militarizing cities ahead of 2026, we unpack how isolationist policies could turn the world’s biggest sporting event into a high-security farce—and what that means for the future of global sports on American soil.
