It’s tough to talk sports during times like these.
Today’s episode of “The GIST of It” is a brief history of recent athlete activism, inspired by hoops star Breanna Stewart holding up an “ABOLISH ICE” sign before Sunday’s Unrivaled game — a moment that has sparked widespread conversation in the sports world and beyond.
After a tragic weekend in Minneapolis involving federal immigration enforcement that has drawn outcry from athletes and community members alike, podcast co-hosts Lauren Tuiskula and Steph Rotz reflect on the power of activism in sports and why athletes continue to use their platforms to speak out.
