Sport Matters: Why the NFL's Racial Power Dynamics Persist
Global Sport Institute CEO Kenneth L. Shropshire and sportswriter William C. Rhoden of The Undefeated examine the latest news in the NFL, including the continued fallout over the investigation into the Washington Football Team and Jon Gruden and what it tells us about the racial power dynamics in the league, as well as the role a young, successful Black quarterback like Lamar Jackson plays in the NFL and in his community in Baltimore as a role model and advocate. The pair examine why race remains such a strong force in the NFL and how the faces of the league are navigating it.
