On this OFH Throwback we return to an episode from two summers ago called "Who
Invented Your Favourite Sport?" This re-release is being done in honour of the
postponed 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, which should have started this
past Friday. The original episode was recorded in the wake of the 2018 FIFA
World Cup. Back then the mythology of sport was on my mind, and in particular
the fake history associated with the origins of sports. So even though you
can't watch the Olympics right now, you can enjoy me nerding out on some weird
sports lore. I hope in 2021 when the world finally comes together for the
Olympics we will not only be celebrating athletic greatness, but we will also
be celebrating the end of a pandemic, and the doctors, nurses, and scientists
that helped us get there.
