Jules Boykoff joins Derek and Nathan to discuss his new book What Are the Olympics For?

In this episode, Derek is joined by Leyla Hamed, a sports journalist and Editor in Chief at the The Athletic FC. As one of the very few pro-Palestinian advocates in sports media, I can’t think of many folks better than Leyla to talk about media complicity in this ongoing genocide and the role that sports media should be taking in putting pressure on sporting organizations like the IOC and FIFA to enact its policies when considering banning Israel from membership in those organizations and participation in international sporting events.

We discuss how value is produced and distributed in women’s sport, including the issue of fandom (the market of consumers) as well as questions of labor and exploitation.

**This episode contains discussions of sexual violence**
In this episode, Johanna offers an initial analysis of how cisgender, white, and heterosexual sexual assault and predators and sport contribute to the anti-trans movement. Where do we see this happening most clearly? Swimming, which you may have guessed if you’re familiar with the work of Frankie de la Cretaz in this article for the Nation and their episode with us about it, and Johanna’s Guardian piece last summer. She discusses the revelations from Katie Strang’s first article for The Athletic about University of Kentucky’s swim coach, Lars Jorgensen. Two sportspeople – including a former swimmer and trans man - filed a lawsuit against the UKY Athletic Department that it allowed Jorgensen to “foster a toxic, sexually hostile environment within the swim program and to prey on, sexually harass, and commit horrific sexual assaults and violent rapes against young female coaches and collegiate athletes who were reliant on him.” The school’s Title IX office repeatedly discouraged victims to come forward.
The announcement of this lawsuit also comes a few weeks after ICONS (Independent Council on Women’s Sport) organized a lawsuit that included Riley Gaines and 15 other cisgender female college athletes against the NCAA to ban transgender women from all sports. Gaines has been one of Jorgensen’s defenders, as she swam for Jorgensen when she tied with Lia Thomas. Jorgensen, Gaines, and his other supporters show how the anti-trans movement is extremely dangerous to athletes and people of all genders. Solidarity with all survivors of sexual assault and trans people. Remember that transgender people are four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crimes like rape and sexual assault.
Jorgensen’s lawyer has since announced publicly that they are blaming the rape allegations on “NCAA Woke Philosophy.” By using the accusation of “wokeness,” Jorgensen’s team proves how the movement’s anti-trans actions are deeply connected with their beliefs on racism, misogyny, and more.

This episode is an interview that friend and repeat guest of the podcast, Karleigh Chardonnay Webb, did with Johanna in August 2023. Karleigh is an Outsports contributor and co-host of the Transition Defense podcast. She interviewed Johanna to analyze Hungary's sportswashing in light of Budapest hosting the World Athletics Championship last August and the announcement that World Aquatics is moving its headquarters from Lausanne, Switzerland to Budapest.
Johanna begins with a more current intro that articulates why Hungary and its sportswashing matter in 2024 as global fascism continues to surge with the help of Putin, Italy, and the U.S. Right, and the movement's homophobia, transphobia, white supremacy, and the like. She and Karleigh discuss how PM Viktor Orbán changed Hungary into an authoritarian state with fascist control, Hungarian attempts to resist it, and why more and more Hungarians are thinking of fleeing the state. The authoritarian, culturally imperialist IOC has long worked well with other authoritarian powers; Orbán uses the IOC and international sport to advance his political agenda in ways that are both similar to and distinct from the Stalinist and state socialist government of the Cold War era. The U.S. Right sees Orbán's efforts as a possible vision for the U.S., explaining CPAC's growing adoration and ties with the PM.
