Between the Lines Ep. 2: The Players Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick set a model for NFL players to follow when discussing matters of race and activism, but something else broke down the wall that led to the modern climate: The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.

Episode 2 of Between the Lines reveals how NFL players became activist during the summer of 2020, and their perspective in the ways the league supports and hurts their message.

Voices in the episode include former NFL players Doug Baldwin, Devin McCourty, Michael Johnson, and Don Davis.
