How Sports Teams Reflect America—and Unite Us When Politics Fails

In this episode of The Gedunk Podcast, Bobby and Dan dig deep into how sports teams are more than just rosters and rivalries—they’re cultural reflections of the cities and regions they represent. We explore how local values shape team identity—and how successful teams build cultures that transcend race, class, and politics. We also unpack how sports create bridges between people that politics too often tears down—and what lessons political leaders can learn from great coaches and locker rooms.
