Dr. Anthony Weems Discusses Systemic Racism in the NFL.   Dr. Weems is an Assistant Professor of Sport Management at Western Carolina University.  He has dedicated his acadeic career to researching this topic in depth so that we can gain a greater understanding of how Racism and Prejudice impact the NFL today.   Since 2016, Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem to protest systemic racism and police brutality, and the NFL has become a major focal point for race relations.   With George Floyd's Murder at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, the NFL decided to publicly express support for the Black Lives Matter movement by commiting $250 million over a 10-year period to fund projects combating racism and supportig the battle against injustice.   Part of its new approach relates to publicly supporting an end to racism by allowing players to affix decals to their helmets supporting BLM and to display slogans like "End Racism" and "It Takes All of Us" at the endzones during opening games this season.   Is this enough on the part of the NFL when a significant number of the teams' owners publicly support President Trump and they have failed to champion the rights of Black Players who make up approximately two thirds of the League?  Try to keep an open mind as we disucss these issues with the hope of gaining a greater awareness of the existence of systemic racism in the NFL.

Jason Interviews Special Guest Dr. Anthony Weems, Professor and Co-Author of the Article "Who are We Honoring?  Extending the Ebony &amp; Ivy Discussion to Include Sports Facilities."   We have witnessed the protests associated with Black Lives Matter and our efforts to grapple with tackling and understanding systemic racism in our society since George Floyd's death in May 2020.   Part of this discussion invovles analyzing whether University Officials at Division I (Football and Basketball) Schools should remove the names of individuals with racists pasts from campus buildings and structures with their namesake?    Dr. Weems co-authored the article, "Who Are We Honoring?" along with Professor Robert Turick of Ball State University, Professor Nicholas Swim of University of Louisville, Professor Trevor Bopp of the University of Florida, and Professor John M. Singer of Texas A&amp;M University.   Weems and company identified at least eighteen sporting facilities in the United States that were named after athletic administrators, coaches, and philanthropists who engaged in racist activities or harbored racist views.    I enjoyed our interview and look forward to sharing this critical disucssion with each of you.   Dr. Weems' article can be found at the following link:  https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/jsm/aop/article-10.1123-jsm.2019-0303/article-10.1123-jsm.2019-0303.xml.
