Show Notes

When "accidental hero" Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19, and more NBAers followed, it triggered a domino effect that shut the doors of every major sport in North America. After Canada was the first to announce it would not send athletes, the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics games were postponed until 2021. We are joined by Hayley Wickenheiser, four-time Olympic Gold medalist, who has been training to become an emergency room doctor, and Bruce Arthur, Toronto Star columnist.
