This week we chop it up with LA Chargers running back Justin Jackson, who has become a bit of a lightning rod on social media in recent months. Jackson discusses media bias against progressive politics, militarism, the 2016 election, and why he supports Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
We have Choice Words about the Australian Open and the impact of Climate Change down under. We also have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to freedom fighter and Olympian John Carlos and the security office that issued an arrest to wide receiver Odell Beckham. Enjoy!
