Greetings Sports Fans and Athletic Supporters:

Come join us Under the Bleachers for Episode 4 of Season 2 - Call Your Senators...Tell ‘Em Laura and Gabe Sent You

This week it’s Laura’s turn to pick the topics. For our queer topic she chose the gay Bachelor; for our sports topic she chose the WNBA Draft; and, for our topic at the intersection of sports and queer, the NCAA’s Statement Regarding Trans Athletes.

After that, we share our interview with Professional Rugby Player Casey Renaud of Old Glory DC.
