Every Monday on 88.5 WFDD, Jeff
Tiberii brings you sports commentaries of a different
kind. Some are serious, some focus on local topics
and some, we hope, will make you laugh. All are
designed to make us think, talk and explore the
depth of an element of our lives we too often take
at face value.
Woven into our everyday lives, sport can help us
examine issues of ethnicity, religion, socio-economic
class, sexual orientation and gender. It also lets
us root for the underdog, the hometown team and
athletes we personally know.
