Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the ongoing negotiations regarding the National Hockey League's participation in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. NHL players want to play in the Olympics, but league owners have balked at the idea, citing the risk of player injuries, the lack of business benefit and the disruption of the regular season. Also discussed is the ongoing legal battle over emails between the New Orleans Saints and the local archdiocese, emails that lawyers say detail how the NFL team helped do damage control for the church in the wake of sex abuse allegations against clergy members. And also talked about is new Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker, who left Colorado after one year, sparking new debate over whether NCAA players should be maligned for transferring schools if coaches do it without barriers.
