On this episode of the podcast, the crew discuss recent events of the basketball world including the NBA finals, Paige Buecker's speech at the ESPYs, and Maya Moore's honor that she received at the ESPYs. Maybe even more impressive is the 8th grader, Zaila Avant-Garde, becoming the first Black person to win the national spelling bee. Crazy thing is she is a legit hooper as well. Tune in and hear the guys weigh in.

We pick up with Dr. Edwards’ recounting of the long history of athlete activism in the U.S., from baseball-playing Civil War soldiers to Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling during the anthem and beyond. He expounds upon the power--and inherent danger--of social media, and why it is an important protest tool. Dr. Edwards recalls his reaction to witnessing the black-glove salute at the 1968 Olympics that he inspired, and why he worried for the future of Australian sprinter Peter Norman. He weighs in on the recent Supreme Court decision striking down the NCAA’s ability to prevent athletes from cashing in on their name, image and likeness and on Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib coming out as the NFL’s first openly gay active player. Finally, Dr. Edwards tells Natalie why he’s optimistic about her generation’s ability to effect meaningful change during a tumultuous time.

Summer is coming to a close and many of us are coming to the realization that the season is in jeopardy. So, I sat down with Sierra Canyon's Women's Head Coach, Alicia Komaki to talk what she's doing with her team to dominate the details in preparation of next season. When it comes to fighting social injustice Maya Moore isn't the one to shut up and dribble. Can her involvement lead to a Noble Peace Prize? And, which NBA player is influencing today's ballers?

Oh say can you see…your Sports Lordz! This week we have a bit of a mix up with our announcer Herb off the top and start our show by talking about our new cool sponsor, Quibi, and our future president Kanye West. We then share some good news and shoutout the legend, Maya Moore and her beyond sterling work within the criminal justice system. You’re a true inspiration and gem, Maya. We then go across the pond to talk some footy, as we discuss Christian Pulisic’s hot run of form for Chelsea, other Americans doing well abroad, and Diego watching his beloved F.C. Barcelona pull a true “Atlanta” in La Liga. We then go hard discussing how sports are fucked in the United States and probably shouldn’t/won’t happen with stars in MLB, NBA, MLS, NFL, NHL, and NCAA sports are all opting out, and testing sick across the country. We then dive into football and discuss Patrick Mahomes’ new deal, the need to change mascot names, and Desean Jackson’s wild and awful IG posts. We wrap the show by discussing how social media is poisoning us all, Tommy Tuberville’s bus fire, and we figure out what college football coach would make the best president. Spoiler alert: there is a correct answer. We say it every week, but please stay alive and keep wearing masks outside if you need to go out in public, but limit outings as well. Stay safe and take care of each other!

This episode is brought to you by Quibi. It’s a thing!

Today we’ve got Maya Moore on the Grove Podcast! Maya is quite possibly the best female basketball player of all time. In 2017, Sports Illustrated called her “the greatest winner in the history of women’s basketball” after winning her 4th WNBA title. She’s got several MVP awards as well as Olympic gold medals. But she also has a huge heart for activism and is shaping the culture around her in countless ways. Maya is an all-around phenomenal human and serves faithfully at Passion City Church in the worship choir most weekends. Today she sits down with Shelley Giglio and shares about being raised by a single mom, discovering her abilities, having perspective through great success and how Jesus has carried her through it all. We trust you will be so encouraged after hearing her story, and you’ll want to be sure to learn more about her social justice campaign at winwithjustice.org.
