Episode three focuses on the exploitation of professional athletes, specifically in the NFL and the MLB. Pranav and Timy explain the significance of labor activism in this field, the importance of unions, and how advocating and fighting for players’ rights can bring change to this industry that many love. Taking on controversies in professional sports, such as the use of turf fields, as well as historic moments in sports organizing, like the 1994 MLB players’ strike, this episode corrects some common misconceptions that pro sports is all fun and games.
