Kevin Blackistone on Rock Newman 2.0

Award Winning Journalist and Professor, Kevin Blackistone joins us to discuss the importance of sports to an era, to culture and in politics. We'll talk about moments in sports that changed and defined an era, the history of inequity in sports in the United States and the 2022 headline grabbing stories on Brittany Griner and Deion "Prime Time" Sanders.

Bonds is my favorite baseball player, allegations aside.

Deion Sanders is only about Deion Sanders! The things that could benefit from his presence will still be packaged by Deion as being because of him and not a purpose!

Interesting, what Blackistone says, about Victor Booth. According to Black Power Media's Jacqui Luqman, Victor has had did business with the support of the U.S. and a U.S. ally I can't remember at the this moment did sell weapons to some unsavory characters. The U.S. was cool with Booth until he sold weapons to groups fighting for their liberation. According to Luqman, Booth had retired from the business of selling weapons, but was ultimately set up by the CIA which lead to his arrest. Should Mr. Newman get this post, I'd like for to reach out to Luqman and have that discussion.

Two of my favorite dudes...just missing Bomoni Jones at the table. While I can follow the conversation, it gives me a headache whenever I hear people say major league. These yt leagues were two things...yt and not major league talent. They eventually brought in the more talented people because they saw a way to monetize it (period). Today they are doing the same thing with the Hispanic plyers. They are better at the sport than yt people and they've found a way to monetize them.

Mr. Blackistone (Mr. Newman), why did Russia go to war with Ukraine? I'd wish that subject was unpacked. The way, the tone by which Blackistone said those remarks regarding Russia makes it seems like Russia is the bad guy in all this. Subtlety, I opine is misleading.
