Our patrons voted and said they wanted us to talk about Nicole Noren, a veteran sports producer and investigative journalist, leaving ESPN because of the company’s embrace of sports betting. Noren talked to recent BIAD guest, Danny Funt, about her decision to leave ESPN: "It was very troubling for me to see the normalization of betting and ESPN’s complete acceptance of that, and finally, they just decided to go all in. It worried me. I knew what gambling addiction could do to families."In this Burning Thoughts, Shireen and Jessica talk about Nicole's decision (solidarity!!!), the industry's reliance on sports gambling money, and where this is all headed.Link: "‘I’m Not Going to Have Blood on My Hands’: Why Nicole Noren, a decorated ESPN producer, quit in protest."Support Burn It All Down by becoming a Patron today:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://patreon.com/burnitalldownpod⁠⁠⁠Sponsor an upcoming episode or Burn! ⁠https://forms.gle/uRZvYXjCKZxc5J1Z7⁠Subscribe to our YouTube channel: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@burnitalldownpod⁠  BIAD website: ⁠https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/⁠  Get in touch: ⁠https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/contact⁠   Follow us on:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/burnitalldownpod⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@burnitalldownpod⁠   Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/BurnItAllDownPod⁠  BlueSky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/burnitalldownpod.com⁠  Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/BurnItDownPod⁠  #sports #podcast #womeninsports #feminism #sportspodcast #womenssports 

In what's becoming a Burn It All Down tradition, we take a look around the packed fall sports landscape. This time, Lindsay, Brenda, and Shireen share a couple storylines they're following. They discuss their hopes for future FIFA and WNBA leadership; they preview the upcoming women's college basketball season; and they delve into a number of NBA topics, from Kawhi Leonard, to gambling sponsorships, to the Philadelphia 76ers. Of course, there's plenty to Burn, and they also celebrate a fresh slate of Torchbearers.Thank you, again, to our Executive Producers for today’s episode, Youree and Emily McBride!
