Hello and welcome to episode 47 of Diversity Hire. Today we talked to Tyler Tynes who is the staff sports writer at GQ. Our conversation covered annihilating objectivity in order to cover athletes and the politics of sports more honestly, Tyler’s stint as a local beat reporter in Atlantic City, the commodification of protest, why sports reporting always seems to lack a much-needed dose of nuance, and much more. Kevin and Arjun talk about how it sucks to be busy as the season of Summer Friday approaches. Thanks for listening!

Tyler’s writing discussed in the episode:

* Leave Naomi Osaka Alone

* “This Has to Happen for Change to Happen”: A Night of Protest, Pain, and Peace in Brooklyn

* The Great NBA Awakening

* Colin Kaepernick’s NFL Exile Feels Like Forever
