Episode #6 Athletes & Activism

Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The influence of athletes being social activists has been felt throughout the world. What does that mean for today's athletes? Does being a fan of the NBA and/or black athletes automatically mean fans need to take on that mantle?In part one of our Athletes & Activism series, the PGM crew welcomes political consultant @imageofanewdawn to discuss the complicated relationship of when professional athletes use their platforms to influence change beyond the court. We also discuss Lakers legend Pau Gasol getting inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. And why it will be a few years until we truly appreciate Marvel's Secret Invasion.
