  • The NFL's race problem and are Jay-Z and Taylor Swift activists?

    David is joined by friend of the show, Alethea Lamberson, to discuss "race-norming" in the NFL, the history of racism in the league, and whether or not we should hold musical artists accountable for the things the advocate for in their music.


    The two discuss Jay-Z's lucrative partnership with the NFL to help combat racism, as well as Taylor Swifts latest Grammy wins, and much, much more.
