Podcasts about sports fans

Craig Carton has had enough! After watching the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, Craig goes OFF on American sports fans for constantly complaining about everything — too much pitching, not enough offense, boring games, bad entertainment and more. Chris McMonigle pushes back as the guys debate whether the All-Star Game exposed a bigger problem with modern baseball — or with the fans watching it. Plus, Craig and C-Mac react to Boyz II Men's rough performance and discuss encouraging comments from Giants coach John Harbaugh about letting Jaxson Dart use his legs.

Minnesota sports fans do not like national reporters asking about Byron Buxton; Why MLB home run derby was a hit but Mackey has a bone to pick and more on Mackey & Judd.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!! Harrison is officially DONE with the World Cup (despite going to the game tomorrow AND talking about it for like 20 minutes on this ep lol). BUT this leads to a fun discussion: is watching sports with someone you're dating the new "turbulence test"?! We run through the RED FLAGS of watching sports with a guy — is his day being made or ruined by other men playing a game he's not in?!

The 2026 World Cup in North America introduced mandatory Hydration Breaks every 20-ish minutes.  Fans are big mad that soccer is now “played in quarters,” and the players get a chance to be coached during these mandatory breaks.  But … the field of play is much more humid and also hotter than these players (and their fans) are used to, so FIFA stepped in to protect the players.  OR DID THEY? Scott and A discuss the current situation.  — Slices is created by Scott Sigler and A B Kovacs — Produced by Steve Riekeberg — Production Assistance by Allie Press — Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Øh, you need a little sippy poo of water?

12pm hour of The K&C Masterpiece! Are sports fans too fickle? NFL Overreaction or Reality. Our brand-new World Cup segment: We Will Morocco You.

Kevin and Cory discuss the fickleness of sports fans and the tendency to tear down athletes after building them up. The conversation highlights how factors like high salaries and excessive success contribute to public resentment of stars like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. They also explore how voter fatigue and raised expectations impact the perception of players like Aaron Judge and Tony Romo.

Chris Mack talks about the other rooting interests for American sports fans in the World Cup now that the US is eliminated.

I am fascinated at the anger, and sadness people have when they watch their favorite team play. I get the jubilation when their team wins, but when they lose, WOW. There are some serious emotions being expressed. Oh, I understand disappointment, but it is and has been a fascinating study that I have done for years about sports fans. Put on your team jersey and enjoy.

In a world of infinite entertainment choices, how does a sports franchise earn a fan's loyalty when the game isn't being played?Agility requires meeting fans where they are, with the right message at the right moment, whether they're on their couch or in their seat. This means adapting communication strategies in real-time to create a conversation, not just a broadcast.Today, we're going to talk about how sports franchises are navigating an incredibly crowded calendar to build deeper relationships with their fans. It's no longer just about what happens on the field or the court; it's about merging technology and creativity to design a seamless fan journey that extends from their living room to the stadium and back. This means looking beyond traditional broadcast and email to create interactive, personalized experiences that add real value.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Ben Lewis, VP of Marketing and Growth at Infobip.

A Fox News article argues that some sports media outlets are trying to decide which American fans are allowed to cheer for Team USA at the World Cup. Is there a liberal bias in sports media, or is this just another example of every cultural moment getting dragged into politics? When you see World Cup coverage, do you think the media is celebrating America, judging America, or just looking for the easiest narrative? The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that a former Rastafarian inmate cannot sue individual state prison officials for money damages after they forcibly shaved off his knee-length dreadlocks.

The 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico is on track to be the most expensive one ever for match-going fans. The cheapest general sale tickets for the final are four times as expensive as they were for the final in Qatar in 2022, and represent only a small proportion of total seats. We look at the reasons for this surge in prices. Also in this edition: solar power overtakes coal in the US, in spite of Donald Trump's policies.

The guys think tonight's NBA Finals game 3 in New York City represents what's wrong with sports in general.

In the latest episode of the Kliq This podcast, wrestling legend Kevin Nash and his cohost dive into a wide array of current events and personal reflections. The duo kicks things off with some surprising financial candor, discussing recent market turbulence and the sheer unpredictability of cryptocurrency investments. The conversation smoothly transitions into the realm of professional basketball, where Kevin offers his seasoned takes on the NBA playoffs, evaluating the raw talent of rising stars like Victor Wembanyama against the legendary grit of past eras. The centerpiece of episode 205 tackles a bizarre and fascinating study regarding the intelligence of sports entertainment fanbases. Listeners will hear the hosts break down the jaw-dropping statistics claiming that WWE viewers hold surprisingly high IQ scores, with a specific focus on the astronomical numbers attributed to supporters of Roman Reigns. They question the methodology behind the data and explore what it really means to acknowledge the Tribal Chief, leaving fans to wonder where their own intelligence ranks in the grand scheme of the squared circle. Rounding out the show, the broadcast takes a hilarious detour into true crime and pop culture nostalgia. Kevin reacts to a pair of unbelievable headlines featuring a radioactive Florida local and a brazen gold scam, proving that reality is often stranger than fiction. The episode caps off with a trip down memory lane, touching on the unique innocence of the 1980s and the unforgettable cinematic moments of classic films, ensuring a wildly entertaining ride from start to finish.

In this episode of The Gametime Guru, I sit down with Todd Smith, author of Relegated, to break down one of the most fascinating systems in global sports: promotion and relegation in English soccer. As an American sports fan, I've always been intrigued by the idea that a team can lose its place in the top league based on performance. In the United States, struggling teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS can have bad seasons and still remain in the league. But in English football, the stakes are completely different. If a club finishes at the bottom of the table, it can be relegated to a lower division, losing money, visibility, players, TV revenue, and even part of its identity. Todd Smith experienced this system firsthand while researching his book Relegated. He traveled across the English football pyramid, visiting Premier League stadiums, lower league clubs, small towns, gritty industrial cities, and passionate football communities to understand what relegation really means beyond the scoreboard. In this conversation, Todd and I talk about how relegation works in English soccer, why promotion and relegation creates real stakes every season, how football clubs impact local economies, and why soccer fandom in England is so deeply connected to identity, history, class, community, and pride. We also discuss whether relegation could ever work in American sports. Could the NFL, NBA, MLB, or MLS ever adopt a promotion and relegation system? Would American owners ever allow that much financial risk? And what would happen if a major franchise could actually lose its place in the top league? This episode is perfect for soccer fans, Premier League fans, MLS fans, sports business fans, and anyone interested in the cultural and economic impact of sports around the world.

In today's episode, I sit down with Parker Graham, former pro athlete and Founder and CEO of Vestible, to talk about democratizing sports ownership and creating access beyond billionaires and private equity. Parker shares how his single mother's grit shaped his drive, why education became his foundation, and how his background in wealth management led him into FinTech. We also talk about building real community through in-person relationships, email, loyalty, and shared ownership. From European soccer clubs to secondary markets, Parker explains how Vestible is giving everyday fans a new way to participate in the business of sports.
