S2E9 - Alleged Squid Games of Chicken, Canadians & Thorns | The Sports Gap with Richard Jefferson

Richard debunks the myth that Canadians are nice, looks at the biggest game in the world and tries his best to stand up for the NBA players alleged to commit insurance fraud. Later we follow the journey of hockey bad boy Evander Kane from the casino to the card dealer and examine the imploding world of women’s soccer.
