NY Times: What’s on TV Tuesday

From the NY Times 2/26/19:
RIVALS FOREVER stream on MHz Choice. Sibling rivalry takes new heights in this two-part series from Germany, based on the lives of the brothers Rudolf and Adolf Dassler, who founded a shoe factory in their parents’ home in the 1920s. Not long after, German athletes were wearing the Dasslerses’ spiked shoes at the Olympics. (The cobblers’ big break came when Jesse Owens sported their brand when he won four gold medals in 1936.) In the 1940s, the brothers parted ways after a dispute and each went on to create massive international companies: Adolf founded Adidas, while Rudolf started Puma.
