Sports are no longer on pause because of COVID-19, but in recent days we’ve seen sports pause as athletes have used their power to protest systemic racism and police violence against Black people. 

In what we hope is the final episode of the podcast, Donnovan and Richard discuss why it’s important for them to shift their voices from the virus to social violence as well.

But stay subscribed, because if the worst happens and the coronavirus returns in force, Donnovan and Richard could be back to discuss its impact on sports. Let’s just hope it’s not necessary. 

Thanks to all of you for listening and supporting. You can still hear Richard on Writers Bloc and Donnovan on Free Association.

Sports On Pause is produced and sound designed by Amil Delic, and hosted by Donnovan Bennett and Richard Deitsch. Archival support for this episode was provided by Adrian Cheddie.
