11.7.18 Podcast: Author/Professor Andrew Billings and WashPost Emily Giambalvo

HWTP SPORTS TALK

This week we were joined by Emily Giambalvo from The Washington Post who covers the University of Maryland athletics news. We were also joined by author and professor Andrew Billings who co-wrote Mascot Nation: The Controversy Over Native American Representations in Sports. Emily Giambalvo joined us this week to discuss the reinstatement and subsequent firing of Coach DJ Durkin for the University of Maryland’s football team. Durkin was originally taken out of power due to allegations of inappropriate behavior including a toxic culture of intimidation and humiliation against players. Once Durkin was reinstated on Wednesday, there was a major outcry from the players and the community. Giambalvo states that players using their voices to protest against policies and those in power, “is not something that we usually see in college sports.” Join the conversation: On Social Media use #AskHWTP Email us at [e-mail] Call us at 1 347 989 0227 HWTP Sports Talk With David Weinstein is a Sweet G.
