Should we consume dangerous sports where people are hurt and take serious risks for the money? Is it wrong to be a fan of football or boxing? Are sports a kind of pretend for adults? These questions and more are featured in my latest episode with Professor Shawn Klein, Associate Teaching Professor at Arizona State University. Disclaimer: he is my colleague. He is also the editor of several books on philosophy of sports and fiction franchises.
