Episode 14: The Tragedy of Poorly-Timed Injuries, the Corrosive Influence of Sports Gambling, and a Very Special Guest
On Episode 14 of The Away End, John and Daniel start with a discussion about the heartbreaking injury of the great Liverpool player, Hugo Ekitike and the implications it has on the World Cup, along with several other poorly-timed injuries, less than two months out from kickoff. Then, Daniel and John give their perspective on gambling and the dilution of the shared experience of sport and the problems that arise as a result. Plus a very special guest joins the show to curate the mailbag segment!
