The OJ Simpson trial: 30 years later
On April 10, OJ Simpson passed away at the age of 76. Although initially catapulted to fame by his career in the NFL and Hollywood, OJ's early success was ultimately eclipsed by his alleged murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her lover, Ron Goldman. The double-homicide, subsequent trial, and acquittal rocked the nation—sparking a media frenzy and a culture war that revolved around questions of racism, police corruption, domestic violence, and celebrity impunity. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez joins Dave Zirin on 'Edge of Sports TV' for a retrospective on the OJ trial and its consequences.<br /><br />Studio Production: David Hebden<br />Post-Production: Taylor Hebden<br />Audio Post-Production: David Hebden<br />Opening Sequence: Cameron Granadino<br />Music by: Eze Jackson & Carlos Guillen<br /><br />Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmm_7RDZJeQzq2-wvmjueg/join<br /><br />Watch all episodes of Edge of Sports here: https://therealnews.com/edge-of-sports-with-dave-zirin<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/edge-of-sports-tv-with-dave-zirin--5883371/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/edge-of-sports-tv-with-dave-zirin--5883371/support</a>.

Could climate change kill sports? w/Madeleine Orr
It’s been six years since the IPCC released its 2018 report warning that mean global temperatures would rise past 1.5 Celsius unless drastic action was taken by 2030. While climate change is already impacting all aspects of our lives, there is one area where relatively rapid and meaningful steps could be taken, but have yet to materialize: sports. Rising temperatures, seas, and emissions all call into question the sustainability of current sports practices. Can athletes continue to compete outdoors under current game conditions in scorching climates? What happens to athletes from island nations threatened by rising sea levels? How can mega-events like the Olympics and the carbon footprints left behind by associated construction and tourism continue to be justified?

Sports gambling's takeover of the pro sports world is just beginning
Sports gambling's rapid takeover of the professional sports industry is arguably the most important development of our time in the world of athletics. The introduction of legal betting has created a powerful new source of temptation with corrosive effects on fans, players, owners, and ultimately the games themselves. Sports journalist Danny Funt joins Edge of Sports to discuss the phenomenon and his upcoming book on the subject.<br /><br />Studio Production: David Hebden<br />Post-Production: Taylor Hebden<br />Audio Post-Production: David Hebden<br />Opening Sequence: Cameron Granadino<br />Music by: Eze Jackson & Carlos Guillen<br /><br /><b><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/edge-of-sports-tv-with-dave-zirin--5883371/support" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Help us continue producing Edge of Sports with Dave Zirin by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer</a>.</b><br /><br /><a href="https://therealnews.com/eos-pod-subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sign up for our newsletter</a><br /><a href="https://facebook.com/therealnews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Like us on Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/therealnews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Follow us on Twitter</a><br /><a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/edge-of-sports-tv-with-dave-zirin--5883371/support" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donate to support this podcast</a>
