Summary

In this episode, Don is joined by former D.C. police officer and friend of the show Michael Fanone to break down the viral moment that has everyone talking: a Texas state trooper appearing to intentionally and aggressively shoulder-check South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor right after his touchdown. What was the point of this deliberate act of hostility? Why was an on-field law enforcement officer acting with such unnecessary aggression toward a student-athlete? And most importantly, should this trooper face real consequences for his actions? Don and Fanone take a closer look at the footage, the reaction from fans and players, and what this incident says about policing, power, and accountability. Learn more about your ad choices.
