The Takeaway speaks with with Roger Bennett, from “Men in Blazers” and “American Fiasco,” about the World Cup. We continued our look at soccer with a discussion of religion and how Muslim players, who will be competing as Ramadan ends, bring their faith to the field. Plus, we have a conversation with Gurbir Grewal, the first Sikh in US history to hold the position of statewide AG; we discuss the Yemen Crisis; and our new bi-weekly culture roundup, where we’ll be discussing notable or surprising moments of the week in TV, film, music and more.
