Welcome to the Block Party: Everyday People in Sports and Politics

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week your hosts seek to define what constitutes an “every-man” (or -woman) and then examine some notable examples of these every-day folk both in sports and in politics. Club professional Michael Block recently captivated the golf world with his 15th-place finish at the PGA Championship, remarkably outplaying most of the game’s elite. His week and common-man bonafides are discussed, as well as the the back stories of a pair of notably ideologically opposed young congresswoman, a controversial figure skating champion from famously humble beginnings, and a similarly underdog boxer who found fame and success against improbable odds. But first, we rant: as Ed takes on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ sorry capitulation to Christian interest groups in the wake of a Pride Night celebration; Zak surveys what’s left of the DeSantis 2024 Presidential campaign following a troubled and largely pathetic running announcement all too reflective of the Florida governor’s future political capital; and finally Andrew reflects on the week that was for now five-time major champion Brooks Koepka and what comes next for the LIV signee who once again found himself moonlighting as perhaps golf’s foremost active alpha-dog.                                                                           Title: Welcome to the Block Party: Everyday People in Sports and Politics
