"It's easy to disbelieve the survivor because you don't want to believe that people we know, or good kids good athletes, would do these things, but it's happening." - @brendatracy24 on the podcast (TW) @EdgeofSports https://t.co/Whyc77q5HV

The @EdgeOfSportsPOD this week is fascinating. Talking to @loumoore12 about where we are right now in the living history of the Black quarterback https://t.co/aJ2ZSsA2Da

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

Great @EdgeOfSportsPOD this week. Talking to Theresa Runstedler who has written Black Ball, a radical reframing of the NBA in the 1970s. Far from the decade that almost destroyed the league, TR makes the case that it actually birthed the modern NBA. https://t.co/keGLnQ187R

[Jacob Tingle @TingleJK]

Oh man. @EdgeofSports and @MrMichaelLee talk #NBA and the need for more joy, positivity, and appreciation of the era’s greatness. Sign me up for less “hate” and negativity. I might replay this @EdgeOfSportsPOD again just to hear the end. https://t.co/ZkY8MoUdcr

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

The next @EdgeOfSportsPOD is a tribute to Dave Jolicoeur aka Trugoy the Dove of @WeAreDeLaSoul My guest is Dave Ashton of Council of Word and @KGNU whose hip hop history knowledge is second to none. We truly honor the memory of an all-timer and I look forward to sharing.

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

Important double @EdgeOfSportsPOD this week. Talking to @IanKennedyCK and @MrMichaelLee about how much sports can matter - or doesn't matter - in today's fights against racism. https://t.co/bG8pZ2aN8h

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

Got to interview Perk on this week’s @EdgeOfSportsPOD and he really brought it. After Perk, I talk Dungy. If you’ve never heard the pod, as good a week as any to start. https://t.co/4doYNNI4K2

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

On this week's @EdgeOfSportsPOD we are talking to @ChuckModi1 about Geno Smith's greatness and why this is far from a "feel good story." Also a tribute to the late, great Mike Davis (not the running back). https://t.co/tjHXXedBLX

[Jacob Tingle @TingleJK]

Loved listening to this week’s @EdgeOfSportsPOD. @EdgeofSports’ convo with @RaufMahmoud is amazing. Just left my local bookstore; they’ve order “In the Blink of an Eye” for me. Can’t wait to read and share the wisdom! https://t.co/TiWbLUOvTO

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

One of the best pods we've ever done. If you listen to one episode of @EdgeOfSportsPOD, listen to this. Speak to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf - @mahmoudar123 - about his new book In the Blink of an Eye https://t.co/wKyRtFZNu4

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

Just a tremendous @EdgeOfSportsPOD this week with Abdullah Al-Arian aka @anhistorian and the new book he wrote and edited "Football in the Middle East." From Qatar, to Egypt, to Palestine, we cover a lot. https://t.co/4R1GKxDycX

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

This thread. Very few are talking about how invasive and repugnant these anti-trans sports laws will be for **cisgender** girls and women. Unconscionable.

'On this week's episode of @EdgeOfSportsPOD, we discuss the significance, or lack thereof, of Kaepernick’s tryout with the Las Vegas Raiders.'

The college athlete-activist Toni Smith-Thompson was “Kaepernick before Kaepernick.” Now her alma mater is reinscribing her into history.

It's New Release Tuesday! Strong recommendation for @DavidDTSS (David Dennis, Jr.) book “The Movement Made Us: A Father, a Son, and the Legacy of a Freedom Ride.” Truly invaluable We did an interview on the @EdgeOfSportsPOD. Check it out! https://t.co/6CGdC7uwwK

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

I interviewed @ProfCooky for the @EdgeOfSportsPOD about her column on trans athletes and gender in sports….a column that led to a torrent of threats from the right. Not disagreements, but threats. We discuss. https://t.co/Rp7xTGYXNf

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

Just an amazing @EdgeOfSportsPOD this week talking to @Dan_Grunfeld about his book detailing his family's journey from Auschwitz to the NBA. There's no story in NBA history like it. https://t.co/aw25Te3D0X

[Jacob Tingle @TingleJK]

The @Trinity_U #TUSPMT students were beyond lucky to hear from @DavidTigabu & @EdgeofSports today. They discussed the @EdgeOfSportsPOD & why developing relationships, having a breadth of skills (but depth of knowledge), & building a fortress of rebellion matter. #AlwaysLearning

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

Great @EdgeOfSportsPOD this week. I spoke with a hero of mine, baseball scribe Peter Golenbock about his new book “Whispers of the Gods.” https://t.co/EcsoqLXRs7

[Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports]

If you've never heard @_shireenahmed_ , she's the truth. Check out the latest @EdgeOfSportsPOD as she breaks down the woefully under-reported attacks on Muslim women athletes in France. https://t.co/L12MK0CGyJ
