🏳️‍🌈 Episode 3 of Sports Out In The Open is here! 🎙️🏁⚾🎾🏈

This week, Brittany Nevin and Brandon Washington are covering a LOT of ground.

We kick things off with NASCAR, including a discussion surrounding Kyle Busch and a broader conversation about identity and representation in NASCAR. From there, we head to baseball for one of the stranger stories we've discussed so far: the Chicago White Sox celibacy story. 👀

Then it’s time to talk postseason baseball. We get into the MLB Playoffs, the relationship between MLB and the MLBPA, the possibility of another lockout, and where Major League Baseball could go next if the league expands.

We also head overseas for the China Open, before wrapping things up with our NFL Week 4 recap and some final thoughts.
