2. Activism in College Sports - a podcast by Andrew, Ed, and Zak

On this week’s episode, the panel dives into the recent surge in activism on the part of collegiate athletes. The conversation leads with a hat-tip to a pair of basketball legends and their public stance against the Vietnam War. Fast forward to 2013 for an examination of the attempted unionization of Northwestern football, spearheaded by QB Kain Colter. From there, the recent work of college athletes across the country, in fighting for protections in returning to football amidst the continued COVID-19 pandemic and calling for solidarity and support from coaches in their fight for racial equality highlight the discussion. But first come the rants, where Ed posits Senator Kelly Loeffler atop the trash heap of American politicians, Andrew describes the continued failure at COVID-containment by the PGA Tour, and Zak addresses Bubba Wallace’s busy week at the center of NASCAR’s latest racial controversy.
