Can We Be Real? - Season Finale Part One Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

The purpose of The Slice is to bring you all a slice of our players lives, but in this episode we are bringing you a slice that is usually hidden. The murder of George Floyd and subsequent protests have brought to life an ugly American truth: the open wound of racism. This is a truth lived by our Black student-athletes every day. In part one of our two-part series "Can We Be Real?" we have members of the Tennessee Football program who want their voices to be heard on this issue. We want to warn listeners that this episode contains sensitive content including stories of racism and racial slurs.
