HBO releases Clooney's documentary about Gym Jordan and the Ohio State scandal.

With no publicity at all, HBO quietly released the George Clooney - produced documentary about the Ohio State scandal. Gym Jordan is an absolute disgrace.

Set to watch at 11 on HBO. Weird that there no promotion at all, far as I can tell. Lawsuit filed in 3, 2, 1…

Gym was not the main focus, it was a documentary. He is definitely mentioned, and some clips of him later as a congress man who denied it all. It was well done. I'm glad I watched it, I never knew the entire story.

Abuse of Power situation, for sure. (Ohio State covered it up)

Jordan comes across as what he is - a lying enabler - but it wasn't about politics. Well, not political parties - university and championship athletics politics, yes. It's an excellent documentary - and it touches on all kinds of things.

Please watch.
