Ep 57: Stephen A winds up in hot water, Sandra Bland anniversary, USA Basketball struggles in early exhibition games, Crisis in Cuba & more

This week’s episode of TWAL begins with the story of ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith finding himself in the world of trouble as a result of comments he made on an episode of “First Take” about Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim star player Shohei Othani. Listen as Que explains where Smith made a salient point but ended up veering off the path. Next, last week marked six years since Sandra Bland was found dead from suicide in a Texas jail as a result of an encounter with a local officer. Que revisits the series of events that led to a tragic ending and added another name to an ever growing list of victims. With the Olympics around the corner Team USA basketball is in tune-up mode by playing a slate of exhibition games. Two early losses had everybody in panic mode and questioning if their reign at the top is over. A rash of protests have taken off in the country of Cuba. They come from the citizens being fed up with a host of things that have long been a problem. Listen as Que offers his take and why this isn’t the time to sing the praise of capitalism. Finally, the show is then closed out with “The Last Call”.
