Summary

Black college athletes have been asked by the NAACP to boycott—to refuse to play for teams in Southern states that support redistricting, particularly SEC teams. Meanwhile, the Score Act threatens Black college athletes' right to profit from their NIL (name-image-likeness), showing us exactly why we need this boycott. Our hosts Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum explain everything you need to know about the SEC boycott, NIL, and the Save Act.

Welcome home, everybody.

This is Bacari Sellers, Andrew Gillum and Angela Rye, and you are tuned into this week's

0:19.1

mini pod.

0:20.9

Man, we're going to have like a little NCAA legal lesson mixed with some civil rights organizations and conjunction junction,

0:27.6

junction over the next 15, 20 minutes.

0:30.2

So buckle up.

0:31.5

First thing we wanted to do was talk about the Score Act and the NAACP's Out of Bounds initiative.

0:38.1

Things that are running, and you might have seen them, you might have seen it particularly

0:41.2

on Instagram pop up the out of bounds initiative.

0:45.6

The theme, as you'll see is if they want their Congress and state legislatures to be all

0:51.5

white, then maybe these black athletes in the South in particular at these SEC

0:55.9

schools should go elsewhere and go other places. Here's Garrison Hayes, and he is brilliant.

1:03.7

Let's listen to him talk about the NAACP Out of Bounds Initiative. If you think the NWACP's

1:09.4

out-of-bounds initiative is crazy, let me introduce you to

dilute black political power through gerrymander. The idea is that if you mess with these folks'

money and the teams they love, they'll think twice about violating our communities. And predictably, some folks are acting like this plan is unrealistic. But history is on the NWACP side. The year was 2020 and Mississippi State flag still featured the Confederate stars and bars. That's crazy. People have been trying to get the flag changed for decades. But at the height of pressure, Kylin Hill, who had just been named the state's best player the year before, he took a state. He posted this on Twitter. Either change the flag, or I won't be representing the state anymore. I'm tired. It is widely believed that by using his leverage, Kylean Hill had an outsized impact on the state's decision to change the flag. The NWACP isn't asking you to have your skull fractured like 25-year-old John Lewis on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. They aren't asking you to be beaten in jail like Fannie Lou Hamer. They aren't asking for student athletes to have food smashed on their heads or to get stomped out during a desegregation demonstration. They're asking families to use their leverage in a moment where equal protection under the law is fading fast,
