88: Business Decision

Slave Breeding Theories, Jimmy the Greek Cancellation

The controversial theory that American black athletes are superior due to selective breeding during slavery is discussed.

The hosts examine how the media sanitized his firing by focusing on his comments about black coaches rather than his statements on breeding.
