The Chicago Sky make their third consecutive appearance tonight in the WNBA playoffs against the Dallas Wings at Wintrust Arena. There was a lot of hope for the Sky this season after the team signed superstar forward Candace Parker. But the season turned out to be a little lackluster, and now the team faces the stress of a single-elimination game. Despite the drama, three consecutive playoff appearances should be exciting for any Chicago sports fan. Yet the Sky don't get the same coverage or attention as their counterparts in male leagues. Host Jacoby Cochran discusses those disparities with the Sun-Times' Annie Costabile and Chris Pennant of The Skyhook Podcast, who also give their takes on the Sky's season and the one-and-done playoff structure.

A recent NBC 5 Chicago interview of former Deputy Mayor Susan Lee is just another demonstration of the short comings of the Chicago media to hold powerful people's feet to the fire. The interview by reporter Chris Hush was a total softball fest where Hush failed to ask a single meaningful question about the time Lee spent in the Mayor's office. Lee is now working for Chicago CRED an organization that does violence prevention work. We featured Chicago CRED in a past episode of our show & podcast which you can find here. Lee came to Chicago to help build the community response to violence infrastructure in her words; however, she only lasted a single year and left her position without an explanation a year after she arrived. After her departure a trove of internal emails from the Mayor's office became public including emails where Lee raises the alarm in early July 2019 about how both the Mayor and Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown were publicly blaming bail reform and lenient judges for violence in Chicago. Lee stated pretty directly that both their community partners and justice system partners were complaining that those accusations were not reflective of what the data said about what was driving crime. Hush failed to ask any questions about Lee's time in the Mayor's office, the response to her emails, and why she left. Instead the interview with Lee was centrally focused on her recent opinion editorial in the Sun-Times that was co-authored by 19th Ward Alderperson Matt O'Shea. Even if you focused on just the editorial Hush missed opportunities to push back on the false narratives that Lee and O'Shea were pushing. Also on the show today we discuss a reoccurring segment titled social media fails. Today it is a repeat offender - CWB Chicago. Video from today's show

Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara responded to Mayor Lightfoot's announcement of a vaccine mandate for all city employees in the worst way imaginable. He compared the mandate by the Mayor to the atrocities carried out by the Nazis in Germany during World War II. Catanzara has a history of opening his mouth and saying the absolute wrong thing. A great example of this is when he stated on video that he didn't see anything wrong with what happened at the US Capital on Jan. 6th and that he understands why people would be mad about a stolen election. Catanzara has a long history of misconduct and absolutely appalling social media posts attacking just about every minority group in American. CJP documented that history recently in our report on Catanzara that you can find here. His history of misconduct that we detailed is definitely is one of an officer that has no regard for the rules as the numerous complaints filed by other officers and supervisors against Catanzara prove. Catanzara leads the largest union affiliated with Chicago Police Officers and only 30% of the entire department is vaccinated. This is from a agency that prides itself in being centered on public service and public safety. Clearly, Catanzara does not see a problem with thousands of officers everyday interacting with the public from all over the city and very likely spreading the virus. Also on the show today we discuss ridicules Sun-Times editorial Supt. Brown firing 4 officers Images from today's show
