Summary

Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press wrote this in 2020 after DeSean Jackson's antisemitic comments. "Silence is compliance. That's a popular sentence today. But you can't be selective with your noise, not against hate. In today's episode I talk about some very disturbing incidents that have occurred in our sports world recently. I discuss the alleged racial slurs directed at a Duke volleyball player in a match vs BYU, which were found to be untrue. I then discuss the ugly video of last week's Oregon-BYU game of fans chanting F the Mormons. I talk about a story written in Andscape about the suspension of Suns owner Robert Sarver and give examples of the double standards and hypocrisy in our sports leagues. In a nutshell I don't see this country moving forward...I see it regressing! Support for the show comes from MyBookie. MyBookie will match your first deposit (up to $1000) when you use code Grant22.
