Summary

On this Friday sports edition of ‘Will Cain Country,’ Outkick Founder and Author of ‘Balls: How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America’ Clay Travis joins Will to revisit some of the most insane intrusions of identity politics into sports over the last 10 to 15 years, as documented in his recently published book. Will and Clay compare their accounts of Woke culture’s slow creep into sports during their time at mainstream sports outlets, from Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the National Anthem and the push for transgender inclusion in sports, all the way to the ongoing course correction we're seeing today. Will also gets Clay's predictions for the Oklahoma-Alabama and Texas-Georgia games coming up this weekend.

1:09.6	and how we overcame it, how we came out the other side
1:13.2	through roughly 2014 to 2022. And it was really fun to talk with Clay about all of the moments
