Athletes & Activism

from Straight Up Hosted by BRIC RADIO

Professional sports athletes have a long-standing history of protesting causes they believe in. With the tensions that have developed in recent months as a result of police killings, Jarrett Murphy of City Limits sits down with Rhiannon Walker, Associate Editor at ESPN's The Undefeated, Michael Powell, Sports Columnist at the New York Times, and Sports Journalist Andrew Jerell Jones, to discuss these protests, and see if athletes can really make an impact. •••• The Straight Up Podcast is produced by Megan Donis, Sriyanka Ray, and Sachar Mathias; and is recorded on-location at Bedford Hall in Brooklyn, by Steve deSeve.
