This week on The Sport and Society Squad, we’re talking commitment—on the field, on reality TV, and in NBA front offices. The MLS season kicked off, and for once, the ranking system actually makes sense—turns out, ties do matter! Meanwhile, Sounders fans proved their dedication by braving an atmospheric river for the season opener—because true love (for your team) means showing up, rain or shine. Over on Temptation Island Spain, relationship ties were tested. Montoya gave us a full 90s R&B music video—running through the rain, heart in hand. Should we feel guilty for watching? Maybe. Are we still glued to the drama? Absolutely. And in the NBA, the trade deadline gave us the messiest breakups yet—players got shipped out, sent back, and now some teams are desperately hoping their ex will take them back. Did they make the right moves, or just a hot mess? Let’s talk about it!
