Howard Bryant on How 9/11 Changed Sports Forever | 09.11
About this episode
Bomani Jones is joined by Howard Bryant to discuss 9/11’s impact on the sports world nearly 25 years after one of the most impactful days in American history. First, they discuss the aftermath of 9/11 in baseball and the real reason they still play “God Bless America” in stadiums. Later, they discuss how the NFL figured out how to market patriotism to its fans & how that directly led to the blackballing of Colin Kaepernick. Finally, they discuss the uniting moment after George W. Bush’s first pitch at Yankee Stadium and how modern sports doesn’t make us feel the same way.
