Jeremy Ebobisse Interview; Taylor Rockwell on Soccer News

Grant has a fascinating interview (at 29:32) with Portland Timbers forward Jeremy Ebobisse, who's had three goals in his first three games at the MLS is Back tournament. Ebobisse, who's also a board member of the MLS Black Players for Change organization, discusses his story of becoming aware of racial justice issues, his biggest influences among writers, his role in forming the BPC group, the response of MLS commissioner Don Garber in a call with him and other Black players, and the issues in the league that he wants MLS and its clubs to address in the future. Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer weekend with Taylor Rockwell of our partner the Total Soccer Show. They discuss Man United and Chelsea qualifying for next year's Champions League, Aston Villa staying up, Bournemouth and Watford being relegated, the NWSL final won by Houston over Chicago and the MLS in Back tournament, with Orlando and Philadelphia reaching the quarterfinals and a big LAFC-Seattle elimination game set for Monday night.
