Two weeks ago, America sat down to watch the championship game of the National Football League, otherwise known as the Superbowl.  On this episode we discuss how athletes fight for social justice within the sports industry (another form of popular culture) and speak with Dr. Lisa Shannon about the history of Black athletes resisting social injustices.  This episode is timely as we just witnessed the purchase of WNBA's Dream, a team that has consistently resisted injustices, and basketball star Lebron James continue to face criticism for his social justice stance.  Additionally, this episode, features our special student led segment "Students Through Your Speakers" and their interview with NFL great Jerome “The Bus” Bettis.
