New York Times sports columnist William C. Rhoden joins us every Thursday in August to talk sports. This week, he looks at the Baseball and Football Halls of Fame and how each sport deals with the issue of a player’s “character.” His book Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete is just out in paperback.

Keeping it in line. Perhaps all sports needs to be kept in line for the fans' sake as well as the owner's.
Will innocent until proven guilty NFL is a private industry who chooses to sideline but still pay an employee whose public appearance may be detrimental to the industry in the whole.
william Rhoden is a revelation --more than a sports columnist, a keen and honest observer and an articulate yet down to earth commentator on what he sees. He goes way beyond race, so is able to present a fuller specturm of the nuances of sports. I hope he does become an historian. I'll be listening every thursday. Thanks for bringing him to us!
Ahem

by volunteering and working against animal cruelty?
