outside the game is a five-part podcast series. It's a sports podcast that doesn't care about the score.
The second episode focuses on activism and sports. Should athletes get involved with social and political issues, such as #blacklivesmatter or sharing their opinions on the current US president?
Or, as one Fox News anchor famously suggested, should athletes, specifically LeBron James, "shut up and dribble" and #sticktosports? Should they stay on the sidelines to not risk alienating a segment of their fanbase?
