Less of a Man Season 2 Episode 13 Can't Afford To Just Shut Up and Dribble
Description
The failures of Reconstruction. The destruction of Black Wall Street. The Jim Crow Era. These examples of suppression are woven into the fabric of the United States. The election season saw a record increase in voter turnout. In Georgia, voters elected Democrats Joe Biden, Jon Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock to serve as their U.S. President and Senators giving the Democrats full control of Congress.
False claims of voter fraud led to the enactment of voting laws that disproportionately impacted Georgia voters of color. Businesses and sporting organizations across the nation expressed their opposition, most notably with the cancellation of the 2021 MLB All-Star Game schedule to be hosted in Atlanta.
The less of a man crew discusses the changes in the Georgia voter laws and majors sports and athletes’ role in the social justice movement. The crew also ask if sports and entertainment truly serve as the black man’s momentary escape from his reality.
