Featured guest in this episode is Kyle Green Ph.D., Associate Professor of Sociology at SUNY Brockport. As both passionate MMA fans and academic scholars, Kyle and Tunisha discuss commonalities in higher education’s ill first impression about studying sports at a high, accredited level. In an evenly critical and comedic conversation (comedic at least for Tunisha…😏), additional topics include their co-authored publication on UFC’s narratively framed brand identity during COVID-19, potential dealbreakers in fandom, appropriate thinking vs overthinking, Kyle’s experience as an MMA practitioner leading him to Ph.D., and much more.
Also, a fun rapid-fire bit to close where these two hit:
- Is Mariah Carey the GOAT diva?
- Favorite horror movie
- Kyle’s loss against Tunisha in the most Prestigious NBA Playoff Pool of All Time
- Best cheese
