Pete Carroll's Magic Shoes and Griner's Freedom

On this week's episode of the Edge of Sports podcast, we interview radical educator Jesse Hagopian and how a crew of Seattle activists were able to get Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll to wear shoes with a bracing political message.We also have Choice Words about Brittany Griner's release and some words about the lates sportswriting giant, Grant Wahl. We also have a Just Stand Up award for the person who ran on a World Cup field to protest the exploitation going on behind the games. We have a Just Sit Down award for Jerry Jones, not simply due to the leak of a 65-year old photo he’s in depicting classic American racism, but also because of his racist track record running “America’s team.”Subscribe to The Nation to support all of our podcasts: thenation.com/podcastsubscribe.Jesse HagopianTwitter: @JessedHagopianhttps://www.zinnedproject.org/news/t4bl-campaign-my-cause-my-cleats/Zirin, A Vindication for Agitation: Brittney Griner Is Coming Homehttps://www.thenation.com/article/world/brittney-griner-free/—http://www.edgeofsportspodcast.com/ | http://twitter.com/EdgeOfSportsPod | http://fb.com/edgeofsportspod | email us: [email protected] | Edge of Sports hotline: 401-426-3343 (EDGE)—Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
