Rank #2: The Lost Tape: Black Activists-White Owners
In this "lost tapes" episode, Derrick and I discuss Kaepernick, the history of the activist athletes, and white owners in the NFL. Originally, recorded in April 2018, this was our first attempt at the podcast. We had some mic problems, so we didn't drop it. However, with the recent news of Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross supporting Trump, despite the fact that Ross has a social justice organization (Rise), we thought it was a great time to drop this gem. We talk Malcolm X, NFL owners, and fox vs. wolves.
