This week we speak to documentarian Isaac Solotaroff about his new project on Al Jazeera English, Bloodsport, a harrowing look at concussions and the NFL. We also talk about a new report that shows early CTE detection could be a scientific breakthrough very soon. We also have ‘Choice Words’ about Kyrie Irving, anti-Semitism, and his frightening new allies.  We also have a ‘Just Stand Up’ and 'Just Sit Down’ award to Jaylen Brown for rightfully pointing out the hypocrisies of many Kyrie critics and Jaylen Brown for not giving a stronger condemnation of the widely citied film’s antisemitism.
