Talking about Race During a Pivotal Moment in Sports
“It’s amazing how difficult it is for some people to have conversations about race in this country because you can simultaneously say, alright, I love America, I wouldn’t want to be born anywhere else, there’s a lot of freedom, a lot of opportunities, all of that. But at the same time, the racist history also has put into play systematic things, systematic oppression that still rears its ugly head today.”
Broadcaster and former NFL and Oregon player George Wrightster spoke with Mike Gugat on a range of topics the day after the Milwaukee Bucks and Brewers refused to play in protest of Jacob Blake having been shot 7 times by a Kenosha police officer. The two long-time friends cover a lot of ground, including the thrill of business and the difference between quitting and pivoting.
