This morning on AM760, we were joined in studio by The Nation’s esteemed sportswriter, Dave Zirin. We discussed Dave’s newest book, entitled “Bad Sports: How Owners Are Ruining the Games We Love” – a fascinating look at the intersection of public policy, politics and professional athletics. The interview previewed AM760’s event on Wednesday (9/15) at 7:30pm the Mercury Cafe at 2199 California St. here in Denver.

The event is free, and the Mercury Cafe has great food and drinks, so it’s going to be a good time all around. I hope folks can make it – it is sure to be a vigorous discussion from one of the most provocative national voices in the political and sports media today. The book includes an entire chapter on Colorado sports and some of the political issues Colorado sports has intersected with – so the event should have a really local flavor.
