In this episode of NL Playoffs, hosts Aniketh and Gowtham discuss whether there’s a double standard when it comes to noisy crowds in different sporting events. They talk about how the sports world reacted to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, and the 2022 Dubai Tennis Championships.
They also chat about Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa’s victory against world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, the Brooklyn Nets trade, and the Wriddhiman Saha-journalist row.
