Ep.169 – David Grenardo on Black Owners in Sports

David Grenardo, professor of law at the University of St. Thomas, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article Getting to the Root of the Problem: Where Are All the Black Owners in Sports?. In this article Grenardo examines underrepresentation of people of color—particularly Black people—among owners, senior executives, and head coaches in professional sports teams. He theorizes explanations for these underrepresentations and proposes new league policies to reduce them. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, with editing by Steven Rozenfeld, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School.
