Nicki Collen - Head Coach of the Atlanta Dream - Part 2 (of 2) in The Sports Deli
from The Sports Deli · host Hoot
We're honored to be joined in this episode of The Sports Deli by Nicki Collen, Head Coach of The WNBA's Atlanta Dream. In part 2 of this two part series, Nicki discusses the power of the 180 WNBA women whose collective voice led a charge that validated the argument of the intersectionality between sports and politics during the Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd, why it's important to in addition to leading her team but to often stand beside them and why it's not always about equality but rather fairness when trying to get the most out of her team individually and collectively, her thoughts about the former minority owner of the Atlanta Dream, Kelly Loeffler who hired her, how Kobe's death affected her, whether she would choose Geno or her husband Tom as a better coach, and why more people should give the W a chance. 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.
