Guests: Henry Winter, Chief Football Writer at The Times; Joey D'Urso, Investigations Writer at The Athletic; Mayowa Quadri, freelance football writer and broadcaster; Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang, New York Times journalists and authors of The Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle For Domination.

Producer: Hannah Sander
