X’s and Ooh’s: Sex, Scandal and Gossip in Sports
What happens when the biggest sports stories happen outside the arena? The creators of The Sports Gossip Show, ESPN's 30 for 30 Podcasts, and the executive overseeing the making of Crave’s Heated Rivalry, examine how sex, scandal, and gossip—once confined to message boards and group chats - are dominating sports storytelling, from (fictional) rivalries to true-crime investigations.
