Show Notes

Picture this: An Allstate female trains for 17 years in her respective sport. She's turned down parties, she's turned down relationships and she's outworked everyone in the country in her respective sport. She is ranked #1 in the national championship and the resulting Olympics team placement. On the day of the finals, she competes against a person who was born a boy, who competed as recently as last year on the men's team. Is this right? Tune in to hear the guys' response. You might be surprised.
