Last night, I made a live appearance on Roland Martin Unfiltered to discuss the Protect College Sports Act! I spoke about the actions taken on the bill so far, what's expected as it moves to the House post-midterms, and the impact for Black students and HBCUs. www.clasp.org/press-room/n...

#Guardians clinch the AL Central and the AL 2 seed, #Buckeyes win in a blowout, #USMNT friendly win, that school up in Ann Arbor loses in embarrassing fashion, with a Penn State upset loss to boot. Not a bad sports day lol #ForTheLand #GuardsBall #MLB #CFB

Kiefer just dropped a legitimate album of the year contender for his Blue Note debut. It's hard for me to even pick a single song to highlight* so I'm sharing the whole playlist link. *Tracks 2 and 5 are spectacular, I will say lol #musicsky #jazz #rnbsky #rapsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL_l...

College sports fans have probably seen the news (or the ads) about the Protect College Sports Act. My latest for @clasp.org breaks down how this bill doesn't save anything besides the labor exploitation of students, and why the Senate should reject this bill next week. www.clasp.org/blog/the-pro...

The athletes whose hard work and dedication are the raw material for the enterprise beloved by millions of Americans should be fairly represented in the process as the workers they are.
