Ep. 15: Donté Stallworth on race, sports and the most important election of our lifetime
Manage episode 271032484 series 2715979
Beginning with a story about an ill-timed bathroom visit before running the 40-yard-dash for NFL scouts, and concluding with a 40th birthday fantasy that includes serenading his White House neighbors with a bullhorn, Stallworth entertains and enlightens while digging into the most significant issues of our time. Well versed in the history of protests for racial justice, within the sports world and beyond, Stallworth talks about being tear-gassed outside the White House, the parallels between 1960s activism and the current movement and the reason so many Americans have reached a boiling point. He also discusses the dismay he felt toward former teammates Tom Brady and Drew Brees--and Patriots coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Krafts--after they endorsed some political stances he finds offensive.
