episode 8: Shut Up & Dribble
The world is mad, frustrated and demanding change after the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and now Rayshard Brooks at the hands of law enforcement. Millions have flooded the streets in protest, including star athletes. But should they? Stars like New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees and University of Texas Head Football Coach Tom Hermin have voiced their opinions about these protests. We talk to a Louisiana sports journalist about these issues and how many Black Athletes believe that future star athletes like Mikey Williams, should attend HBCUs to change the history of sports.
