In this podcast, Celtics Lab hosts Cam Tabatabaie (Celtics Hub / Off the Glass) and Justin Quinn (Celtic Wire) speak with special guest Professor of Law N. Jeremi Duru of American University’s Washington College of Law.
The author of “Sports Law and Regulation: Cases and Materials”, “The Business of Sports Agents” and “Advancing the Ball: Race, Reformation, and the Quest for Equal Coaching Opportunity in the NFL,” Professor Duru joins us to talk about the NBA’s commitment to racial justice in the Disney restart.
With players unhappy with the degree of control they have over pro-racial justice slogans to be printed on jerseys but also excited to have an expansive platform to address the injustice that sparked the issue in the first place, we examine the various ways the league plans to tackle racism.
We talk everything from Black Lives Matter, anthem protests, and Len Bias to symbolic and structural anti-racism and general strikes, so be sure to bring a snorkel, because this episode goes DEEP.
