Behind the Net Podcast Episode 39: Is That Loud Enough? (ft. Vivek Jacob)

Aug 28, 2020, 16:54 EDTUpdated: Aug 28, 2020, 17:03 EDT
In this week’s episode, Matthew Rodrigopulle and I react to the NBA player’s boycotting their games, why it is important that happened, and what they hope follows it. They are later joined by Vivek Jacob, a freelance writer for Complex Canada and Raptors Republic, to discuss the significance of the boycott, why it occurred, and previewing a Raptors-Celtics should it continue as scheduled. Afterwards, we both share our perspective on the NHL’s initial decision to continue playing, why the league missed the mark, and how they can take better action for future moments.
