The Fight To Free Americans From Russian Prisons
As the Biden administration works to organize a prisoner swap with Russia, American prisoner Brittney Griner remains in jail awaiting her upcoming trial on October 25th. The WNBA star was detained in Moscow this February for having cannabis cartridges in her luggage and was later convicted in August. Another American currently imprisoned abroad is Paul Whelan, who was arrested in Russia four years ago and convicted of being a spy. His brother, David Whelan joins the Rundown to discuss the ongoing efforts of both his family and the U.S. government to ensure Paul’s release.
Controversy followed after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa appeared to seize up after suffering a serious blow to the head for the second game in a row. His team claims he passed their concussion protocol after the first blow to the head, yet many health experts who saw the first hit on Tagovailoa recognized all the signs of a concussion. There has since been major backlash to the decision to allow the Dolphins QB to play despite the serious threat posed to his health. Former WWE wrestler and neuroscientist Dr. Chris Nowinski joins the podcast to discuss the concerns over the dangerous long-term impacts of concussions, what he sees as the NFL’s failure of leadership to protect the players’ health and his ‘Stop hitting kids in the head’ campaign to end harmful practices for youth in contact sports.
