T-minus seven days until the Olympics, and t-minus zero for today’s episode of The GIST of It. 
Today, Ellen and guest host Courtney Stith have updates on Olympic health and safety measures (even the ones that don’t totally make sense, like banning sex), WNBA star Nneka Ogwumbike’s petition to join the Nigerian women’s basketball team, and a follow up to Tuesday’s episode about the English men’s national soccer team and the online abuse that came after their loss. Tune in, won’t you?
