Carleton University Political Science Professor Aaron Ettinger joins us to breakdown the politics behind trump and sports.

U.S. sports has always meant to be a soft power projection. But is that changing? For decades, American sports have been more than games. From the Olympics to the NFL, they have helped project national identity and influence around the world. In recent years, politics has entered the conversation.
