Under Review

In this episode I talk about fandom (good and bad) and then get into a conversation about Superstar Women's Tennis player - Naomi Osaka and why I felt she left the French Open in May and why she's not competing in Wimbledon. Lastly, I talk about the recent controversial issue of why USA track and field superstar Sha-Carri Richardson was disqualified from running in the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo.  Thanks for listening!

In this episode I discuss what is good and not so good with Major League Baseball and where it stands today (in my opinion).

In this episode I discuss the recent sexual misconduct allegations involving Hall of Fame Baseball player and former Toronto Blue Jay player - Roberto Alomar. It's another very disturbing and unfortunate circumstance where we see a popular athlete violate their power and hurt innocent people in the process. I talk about what "Excellence" really means and what an actual hero looks like. There are many athletes out there who inspire people and help to create positive change. It's not what they do on the court/field/ice - it's everything they do before and after that represents who they are (IMO).    Please read Gideon Turk's article https://bluejaysnation.com/2021/05/02/on-roberto-alomar-and-the-true-sadness/ I feel that he nails it with this one.

In this episode of Under Review I follow up on my previous episode (This Ain't Right) about the Mickey Callaway situation that is still "under investigation." I then discuss the Myles Leonard fallout from Miami Heat/NBA and how I felt Adam Silver (NBA Commissioner) and Miami Heat were completely out of touch in their response to his racial and hurtful outburst on social media. Finally, I put the Texas Rangers "Under Review" for them allowing a full capacity crowd at their ballpark for their upcoming home opener on April 5th and how irresponsible I feel that is.

In Episode 5 of Under Review with Erik Grosman I first talk about the sad news in the sports industry with the passing of Walter Gretzky and Chris Schultz. Then I quickly discuss the disrespect among "NBA experts"of Raptor's legend - DeMar DeRozan and talk about Clubhouse and why I find it kind of weird and good all at the same time. After that I get into the main focus of the podcast about the Mickey Callaway situation and how the system in place keeps failing women over and over and over and over and over...............again.
