This week we take a sidestep from sports and talk to Maurice Cook from the Ward 6 Mutual Aid Network. We talk about the the coronavirus’s impact on DC, how it’s affected people of color in the city, and what can be done about it.

We also have some Choice Words about the dystopian plans to reopen the sports world that are floating around right now. In addition, we have Just Stand Up and Just Sit Down awards to Jalen Rose on the anniversary of his shellacking of Skip Bayless and Maven Media for their decision to fire friend of the show Grant Wahl and their pathetic decision to slander him on his way out. All that and more on this week’s Edge of Sports!
