1968 Olympian Lou Scott in The Sports Deli - Part 1 of 3

Lou Scott was a member of the 1968 Olympic team that included John Carlos and Tommy Smith who protested social injustice in Mexico City. Coach Scott's journey is absolutely unreal and you don't want to miss this incredible 3 part series where Coach Scott chronicles his rise from Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan, to the Olympics and how he ran all over the world as a result of his bike breaking down during his paper route at 6am one morning. Coach Scott was my cross country coach at Oak Park High School (MI), and the lessons I learned from his coaching I carry with me to this day. We hope you enjoy sharing space with us here in The Sports Deli and we can't thank Coach Scott enough for honoring us with his time.    Remember, your voice matters when fighting systemic racism. Read a   book, acknowledge your white privilege, watch a movie about institutional racism, call your local or state representatives, and/or have a conversation with someone that doesn't look like you so that we can change the economic, educational, police, housing, and prison narratives that currently need to be changed in this country.   The Sports Deli is sponsored by SportRx.com.
