Episode 30 - Black Lives Matter - a podcast by BELOW THE RIM

Adz, Daz and Pabz are joined by Rheanne Bailey, Ishmael Fontaine, Will Reid, Greg Mpofu and Benny Bonsu to discus and educate on issues concerning Black athletes in the British Basketball Community, with specific reference to the peaceful protest in Manchester that generated a somewhat ignorant, negative and disappointing social media backlash. Basketball England have done a great job in showing complete support for Black Lives Matter with some 1200 positive reactions across their social media platforms. The very small minority of negative comments (less than 5!) created a lot of discussion points. Here is a link to the original post. Due to the short amount of time we had to put the show together we will be placing time stamps with links for further reference.
