Show Notes
On today's episode I play part of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO regarding sports. Bill makes some spot-on comments regarding what matters in sports and also talks about race and sports. I share some of my experiences from being in locker rooms and travelling with a professional team spanning 5 decades. My question is why can't society mirror sports locker rooms? The big reason is too many people are afraid to step out of their circle, their comfort zone, thus they stay stuck in the mud! In sports you are forced to be a team, to be around others with different backgrounds etc. The end result is enhanced education and an understanding of different cultures. Unfortunately, that principle doesn't apply to enough people in our society.
