Episode 54: CONCACAF & Crucial Conversation

The Banter Pub FC Podcast

Just when you thought you had it figured out, The World's Greatest Podcast™©® changes the culture, word to CM Punk.
Yes, the sauciest team in the game with the spiciest takes on the pitch are back again to dump the entire contents of the BPFC Time Capsule, starting with a very unique episode featuring a very unique rendition of the Main Segment.
This episode (recorded 10 June 2021) sees El Capitan Neal, Ama, Adam, and Jonathan piling into The Pub to discuss the calamitous yet gripping CONCACAF Nations League final between the US Men's National Team (USMNT) and El Tri (Mexico's men's national team) and all of its moving parts. From the result itself, the homophobic chanting from El Tri fans, the anti-Black racism from USMNT fans exhibited toward Mark McKenzie, the aftermath of it all, and addressing the comments (or lack thereof) made by certain pundits, yer bois go cover every nook and cranny in a fiery edition of Around The Pitch.
Now, the Main Segment usually sees our heroes covering a particular topic exclusively but this episode goes in a unique direction. Joseph managed to get some one-on-one time with Alexi Lalas in his Twitter Spaces vignette and what transpired was rather unexpected but riveting all the same, if we do say so ourselves. Once the pleasantries were exchanged, Joseph got right down to business and grilled Alexi on why he had everything to say about the homophobia from El Tri fans but next to nothing about the anti-Black abuse doled out by USMNT fans. It is a call-out and a critical conversation you do not want to miss so get listening before Alexi makes us take it down (we presume he'll make us take it down, anyway).
You're welcome, Alexi. *wink wink*
#BingeTheBanter. There's plenty to chew on.
