InkSports 43 – The Sport Of A Campaign ft. /u/Dylan-W
Disclaimer:
We at INKSports, do not publicly support, or endorse, any presidential candidate. We are interviewing Dylan W. (/u/dylan-w formerly /u/ciswhitemaelstrom) of the Reddit page, /r/the_Donald, to draw parallels between sports and politics. This week, Lane and Mark carry on while Courageous travels for “work”, for a very special presidential edition of INKSports. We start off talking NBA Finals and the extreme point swings in the first three games. We then talk the passing of boxing great Muhammed Ali, and if his brash attitude and outspoken opinions would be embraced by the public from superstar athletes today like LeBron James and Tiger Woods. In the second half of the show, we talk to Dylan W., lead moderator of the Reddit page, The_Donald. We ask him about the creation of the site and how the community has grown so large, so quickly. We then discuss parallels between sports teams and political parties and the fandom surrounding candidates. Dylan also details death threats he received running the page, and the perils of being on a very public platform.
