About this episode

On this episode of the Wrighster or Wrong Podcast, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden discuss Politics in Sports, from Major League Baseball's desire to stay out of it, to the NAACP attempting to get student athletes to become involved in it. The Knicks and Bulls are good again, and the guys argue about whether large market teams being relevant is better for the NBA as a whole. Which Halloween candy will George and Ralph be stealing from their kids this year? Also, the guys discuss the ethics of cleaning for the cleaners, and on Best of Social Media, a huge internet debate broke out about what to do if you find money in a book at Goodwill.
