Sport Matters: Fans "Gone Wild" and Players' Rights

Episode Summary

Kenneth L. Shropshire and William C. Rhoden discuss the imbalance of sport as entertainment for fans and the disregard for the humans behind the jerseys. From the recent string of incidences - sports fan throwing popcorn on Russell Westbrook and water bottle thrown at Kyrie Irving - to the ongoing battle for players' rights in college and the name, image and likeness ruling, the two hosts examine the roots of race, culture and the humanity of sports in the moment.
