I write about the ethics of sports fandom. Recently, I have written about "sportswashing" with Kyle Fruh and Alfred Archer, and Alfred and I have just published Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan​

I have appeared on the local NPR talk show "Connections with Evan Dawson" several times, written for The New Statesman, AEON, Prospect, and The Prindle Post. I've also spoken to journalists at El Pais and The Huffington Post about the ethics of sports.
