STICK TO SPORTS: A Sports Podcast (That Isn't)

George Floyd deserves justice, and nothing less than the complete imprisonment of everyone involved in his murder at the hands of the police will suffice. Watch Dave Chappelle's new special, 8.46, right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tR6mKcBbT4.

Colin Kaepernick, despite leading the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII in just his second season, has been blackballed from the NFL since 2016 because he had the audacity to peacefully protest the very racist criminal justice system that murdered both George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Support his organization, the Know Your Rights Camp, right here: fivereasonssports.com/merchandise.

Though Juneteenth is celebrated this week, Afro-Americans still remain under the oppressive yolk of white supremacy, and no one knows this better than the Haïtian people. Haïti is a long-suffering, rich, and resilient land that has paid dearly for her people’s audacity to overthrow their European colonizers beginning in 1791 and culminating in their independence in 1804.

We’re working on S01E01, we promise. We just want to make it just right for you. In the meantime, once you’re done running through the entire Light Skinned Opinions, 3 Yards Per Carry, and Five On The Floor library, come on back over here for a sneak preview of STICK TO SPORTS: A Sports Podcast (That Isn’t)! We'd leave a key under the mat for you, but that would be weird, and we don't know where our keys are. Oops. Be sure to follow our host Ricky J. Marc (@RickyJMarc) on Twitter! Us too: @StickToSports5R. Stay tuned!

Ricky J. Marc (@RickyJMarc) provides a brief introduction to the all-new STICK TO SPORTS: A Sports Podcast (That Isn't), in which he discusses that week's political affairs. Maybe. We'll see how he feels. Ask him. We don't know.
