Black Sports Podcast?

[Drones]

I was listening to an ESPN NBA podcast, and they were discussing Lebron's postgame interview after the Rockets game where he choked away his free throws. Instead of talking about the game, the first thing Brian 'Elephant Cac' Windhorst mentioned was Lebron's use of the term 'tricked the game off.'

He goes..."tricked the game up? Is that what the kids (black folks) are saying these days? Tricked up used to be a good thing." Then when Amin Elhassan (young analyst GOAT btw) came on Winded Horse was still infatuated with the black slang Lebron used and asked Elhassan about it.

Now...all this got me to thinking, why aren't there any black sports podcasts? We listen to white folks talk all day about our players, and that's fine because for the most part it's respectful discourse. But I personally think if we were to put together a black sports podcast, and started to talk about the achievements of our people on the playing field, it would have a huge audience.

They look to us for slang and how to be cool anyway, so why not sell it to them like they sell everything to us?

What do you think? Would you listen to an all-black sports analysis podcast?

I do it all the time on blog talk radio. Or with that brotha that use to do the startingfive website. You have to just go on the internet and look around. There are a few black sports podcasts. I ain't fukked with ESPN since my boy Dk wilson was doing his thing on sports on my mind. Dude articles were fukking unbelievable.

I like my sports talk and sports articles like I like my rap. Underground and none of that mainstream dumb shyt.

I think they wouldn't get support especially if they're out here telling the truth about stuff. I would hope they could get something real out there but everybody knows most dudes would rather the money than being fair

our players

This makes me uncomfortable.

We don't "own" them anymore than white fans.

Stop focusing on simple semantics and view the bigger picture.

Max and Marcellus is as black a sport podcast/radio show your gonna get from espn. His and Hers is more of an entertainment podcast but they cover issues/topics in sports from time to time. Jalen & Jacoby off grantland is pretty good too.

Best sports podcast is from the Coli's own Fiyastarter podcast. They cover sports for about and hour to 90 minutes each show then go into entertainment.

the sentiment exists and that's what I was addressing

we demand unconditional support from black a athletes without returning the favor and wonder why they try to make their real cash cows"comfortable"

no beef, breh

 

[threattonature]

I definitely think there is a lane for it open. The only problem is all the big name black sports podcasters are tied to a white cohost to maximize appeal. The others that are all black are in most cases a bunch of unknowns so they don't get the proper shine.

didn't there use to be a Coli podcast? whatever happened to that shyt
