Summary

Episode 20 of Burn It All Down is dedicated to former guest of the show and all-around badass in sports media, Jemele Hill. This week, Brenda Elsey, Shireen Ahmed, Julie DiCaro, Lindsay Gibbs, and Jessica Luther discuss the uproar over a series of tweets Hill wrote last week, the intersection of sports and politics, and what it really means when we say sports media is "liberal." And we welcome back Dr. Amira Rose Davis to talk about the history of sports, politics, and race. As always, you'll hear the Burn Pile, Bad Ass Woman of the Week, and What's Good in our worlds.
