Sam Acho, Race and Sports in America
What happens in sports is so often a reflection of what’s happening in America and around the world. To that end, we are honored to have NFL player Sam Acho on the show to discuss how the sports world is responding to COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter Movement. Besides being an elite athlete, Sam is a writer, public speaker, and humanitarian. He speaks widely at colleges, events, conferences, and churches, and is the co-host of The Home Team Podcast. In addition, he is the founder and president of Athletes for Justice, a vice president of the NFL players association, and a graduate of the University of Texas and the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
