Manage episode 268521292 series 2425590
Professors Kyle Green, Stephen Cho Suh and Alex Manning are on the pod to discuss their collectively written paper entitled Discursive Footwork on the Hardwood. This piece of writing focuses on four NBA players speaking out on the topics of cultural appropriation and both systemic and individual acts of racism through essays published on The Player's Tribune. The paper unpacks the possibilities and limitations of working to address and dismantle racism within the institution of the NBA, which is known to be a more progressive space in comparison to other major sports leagues in the United States.
The four essays that are referenced and analyzed in the paper are linked to below.
Blake Griffin
Jason Collins
Jeremy Lin
Kyle Korver
We also get into ALL of the WNBA/NBA reopening news, including how players and leagues will go about continuing their activism once they are on the court.
