Where sports and politics collide, hosted by Nation magazine Sports Editor Dave Zirin
This week we speak about the rapper Macklemore and why all hell broke loose on Ed Sheeran's tour when he said the words "Free Palestine." And what the heck did Patriots owner Robert Kraft have to do with any of this? Also, we speak to Arya Shirazi about the political legacy of Hulk Hogan and the Iron Sheik.
