Matt Price is a Multimedia Journalist with extensive experience in news and sports coverage. We discuss the symbiotic relationship between politics, the news cycle, and sports coverage. Examples include the rush for information, echo chambers, and treating news like a sports match.  Clarification from Matt about Lia Thomas: Lia Thomas is a trailblazer. I did not boo her. When referring to "I", I meant in terms of people who oppose and boo her for being transgender, which is wrong.
