The two-time award-winning Black in Sports Podcast brings you back inside The Locker Room as we dive into the age-old yet ever-evolving tension between media and athletes. Why does it seem like the beef never dies? From viral soundbites to post-game press conference walkouts, the relationship between those who play the game and those who cover it has become more strained than ever and continues to blur the line between fair coverage and personal attacks.
Has social media empowered athletes to take control of their narrative, or has it widened the gap between them and the press? Are journalists holding athletes accountable or crossing the line? Are today’s athletes too sensitive or just protecting their peace? Is the media upholding journalistic standards or stirring the pot for clicks? We tackle some of the topics we see around this toxic relationship.
Tap in as we explore the culture, communication gaps, and why this clash might not be going away anytime soon.
