The Black Effect Presents... Naked Sports with Cari Champion!

In this episode of Naked Sports, Cari gets into it, and I mean really gets into it, around the noise surrounding Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. Let’s be clear: it’s not jealousy. It’s biased. Gender bias, media bias, and the way we constantly move the goalposts when it comes to women in sports, especially Black women. Before we get into the episode, Cari takes the time to call out these biases.

Then we switch gears and sit down with the brilliant Garrison Hayes - digital creator, historian, and storyteller who’s out here unearthing the Black history most folks never learned. They talk about the complicated legacy of Black Republicans, the narratives that get pushed (and the ones that don’t), and how identity, history, and power all show up in the public conversation.

We close out with a little WNBA love from the upcoming All-Star festivities and a shoutout for Swin Cash and her incredible Women in Sports conference.

This one’s about telling the truth, rewriting the narrative, and honoring the stories that matter on and off the court.
