The Humbling of Shedeur Sanders

from Olay & Friends · host Olayemi Olurin

This week on Olay & Friends, we talk about how Shedeur Sanders got done dirty at the NFL Draft — not because of his talent, but because the league is invested in humbling him and his father. We break down the racism baked into the NFL’s “character” narratives, why confident Black athletes get punished for swagger, and how the media helped shape a storyline meant to put the Sanders family in their place. We get into the politics, the bias, and the patterns that keep repeating.Chapters:0:00 Intro1:35 Hello!/The Shandor Sanders Draft10:05 Forced to be Humbled15:00 Black men in football & the Sytemic neglect of Their Wellbeing34:00 CJ Storytime!44:05 REmaining Confident46:54 Trump's Attempted Claim Over the Shador Draft50:04 The Saquon Bark Situation56:18 Problematic Rapper Faves1:20:27 The Ethics Behind Making Fun of Kanye1:27:37 Kanye: Effective or Ineffective Propogandist?
