Introduction

On today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss why the Super  Bowl happens, what else the owners of the Kansas City football team own,  and what it shows about U.S. capitalism that the trophy is presented to  the billionaire team owner after the team bleeds, sweats, and often  receives or worsens injuries.

Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.
