Listen Later

The Purpose of today's episode is to push the conversation in the world in the direction of ending racism. Josel and I had an episode ready to go but with respect to recent events we wanted to make it a point to be a part of the solution. Today we have Derrick Etienne Jr, Derrick currently plays for the Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer as well as the Haiti National Team. Derrick starts us off with breaking down how he identifies himself, his perspective of the current state of the world and the dangers of silence and complicity with regard to racism. We discuss what Derrick is doing to push the conversation towards ending racism and touch on some advice he would give to young people trying to figure out their role in these trying times. We also touch on how the soccer community handles racism and the changes Derrick would like to see as well as the importance of legacy and how Derrick wants to be remembered. As always, we close with three pieces of advice to 18 year old Derrick.
