In The Black Podcast

in this week’s episode we’re joined by marketing and communications strategist, Vernon Blanson (@iopine11) and Al Billups (@algernonsoctober), contributing writer at Plastiq Magazine (@plastiqmag) We discuss how Deion Sander (@DeionSanders) has brought swagger and and sense of pride back to the SWAC, and HBCU football. But with rumors of his departure ramping up we ask; is now too soon? And what will the aftermath be for HBCU football if he leaves? Also, recently ESPN college football analyst, Ben Watson (@BenjaminSWatson) got in to an altercation with fellow analyst Peter Burns, that has many people comparing it to Will Smith and Chris Rock incident. Are they wrong for the comparison? And did Watson overreact to what many are calling a “harmless joke”? And Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets has made his return to the Brooklyn Nets after a 6 game suspension for promoting an antisemitic film. We discuss if the Nets really even still need Kyrie, and what will happen to him after the season ends. All that and muc
