Sinopsis

Amira Rose Davis is joined by Shireen Ahmed and Jessica Luther to talk about the reoccurring awful issues in college sports: sexual harassment and racism. They discuss some of Jessica's reporting about LSU and Les Miles, Creighton basketball coach Greg McDermott's racist locker room speech, and the ways wealthy alumni at the University of Texas and Ole Miss keep sexist and racist traditions alive. We also hear from Black UT alumni via Courtney Cox and her podcast Sounding Off.   Then, they preview this week's interview with legendary bobsledder Kaillie Humphries, burn all that should be burned from this last week in sports and highlight torchbearers including boxing world champion Claressa Shields and new media company Togethxr from Chloe Kim, Simone Manuel, Sue Bird and Alex Morgan. They also share what's good in their lives  (Spoiler alert: WandaVision) and what they are watching.  This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
