Can You Really Just Stick To Sports? | Episode #14

With things bigger than sports going on in the world right now, is there an expectation for athletes to speak up? If so, what is their message? With players like Tavares, Toews, Crosby, McDavid, Kane and most of the teams making statements against racism and the murder of George Floyd, we discuss what we want out of our athletes and why their voices matter. This is a touchy topic for some, of which we are aware, but we felt it was a disservice to ourselves and our audience if we didn't talk about it.
