“It’s only game. Why you heff to be mad?” - Ilya Bryzgalov

In this episode, Linc and Andrew discuss how fans, the media, and sports organizations are treating athletes and the effects on their mental health.  Naomi Osaka withdrawing from The French Open and Mitch Marner after this year’s edition of the Leafs collapse are prominent examples.  The lads also debate the John Cena apology to China for calling Taiwan a country while promoting the newest Fast & Furious movie.  Should we expect more or less from celebrities when it comes to social and geopolitical issues, especially when their livelihood is impacted?
