Washington Post Sports Reporter Jacob Bogage joined David to discuss baseball card fraud. Bogage writes: Baseball card collectors suspected rampant fraud in their hobby. Now the FBI is investigating.-- The green stadium seats shown on the baseball card are empty as Stan Musial, wearing a crisp white uniform, grips a bat and digs in. His eyes gaze toward the pitcher over his right shoulder, his white teeth peeking out from under a grin. It’s almost as though on this vividly colored card, issued in 1952 by the Bowman Gum Company, “Stan the Man” has spotted a fat fastball. The card’s lone obvious blemish is a stray black print mark on the white frame. Even with the defect, it sold in an online auction in late 2017 for $2,800.

Washington Post reporter Steven Goff joined David to discuss racism in soccer. Goff is a Washington Post Reporter covering soccer (D.C. United, MLS, U.S. national teams, World Cup), plus some college basketball. The beautiful game has an ugly problem: Racism-- The beautiful game has an ugly problem. Racism is a societal issue transcending soccer, but when incidents occur in the planet’s most popular sport, the scourge is magnified. Recent episodes turned the spotlight back on the matter and prompted Danny Rose, a left back for the English national team and Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, to say, “I’ve got five or six more years left in football, and I just can’t wait to see the back of it.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/04/07/beautiful-game-has-an-ugly-problem-racism/?utm_term=.102cf1ef3f2e
MLB legendary Umpire Al Clark joins David tonight live to discuss Major League Baseball. Joey Jackson, Attorney and CNN Contributor discusses Robert Kraft, Lonzo Ball, Kristaps Porzingis, and more. Both David and Joey Jackson breakdown the legal questions relating to these matters for us to understand. A must listen. Relating to Robert Kraft, Joey Jackson says, "...looking at the good work he does, we have to look and see whether or not he committed this. Now defense attorneys – it’s our job to challenge evidence – that’s what we do, and in the event that evidence was gathered improperly or illegally then it gets thrown out. In this particular case I just don’t know that that is the case. The fact is that the police were conducting an investigation, based on my understanding, they were focusing on something that is really significant to all of us and that is human traffiking. Why – because it effects women, it effects children, and it effects just an evil that’s out there in terms of abducting and otherwise getting people under false pretences and then having them, unfortuantely, in these human traffiking rings. Relating to Lonzo Ball's lawsuit, Jackson says, “…I think that’s the story here, that his father hasn’t said much at all given the fact that his father is so vocal… “

A true Civil Rights activist, Rev. Jesse Jackson, joined us to share his perspective on the significance (irony) of the Super Bowl being played in Atlanta. Atlanta is known as the “cradle of the Civil Rights Movement.” It also marked the start of Black History Month. In recent years, the NFL has been strongly condemned for its role in social and racial injustices – who better to discuss these issues then Rev. Jesse Jackson! A.J. Perez discussed Julian Edelman. Perez's colleague wrote, "The NFL has some warped priorities. Call attention to racism and discrimination, and your career is effectively over. Test positive for performance-enhancing drugs, and you can be the Super Bowl MVP." -- Nancy Armour, USA Today. Is she right? Join us live this evening at 9:00 p.m. EST to discuss!

Carlotta Gall, Turkey Bureau Chief, New York Times, called in from Istanbul, Turkey to discuss the Turkish government and Enes Kanter. A compelling discussion. Here is a quote from the interview: David asked Carlotta Gall about Fethullah Gülen, the leader of the group that Enes Kanter follows: “This is where I think it’s a bit more problematic. Certainly Gülen has a lot to answer for, and his answers aren’t satisfying to most.” She continues, “His group was aiming to take power – they have openly said that they wanted to infiltrate government, all institutions, and eventually take power. So, there is something not transparent and disconcerting from the way they’ve been operating from many years.” Full interview tonight at 9 pm EST.

This week HWTP Sports Talk was joined by Washington Post writer Adam Kilgore and attorney Stuart Davidson to discuss the NHL concussion lawsuit worth nearly $19 million. This case is similar to multiple cases brought against the NFL, which resulted in larger sums awarded to injured parties. Adam Kilgore states that it may be, “the high profile of former players [in the NFL] who were showing symptoms at an older age or even doing things like committing suicide,” that may have caused the case against the NFL to have more media attention than the lawsuit brought against the NHL. Kilgore explains that in the cases similar to the concussion case against the NFL, the league, “tries to mitigate or eliminate any PR headaches, so they settled right away.” In the case against the NHL, “the commissioner decided that the league was going to meet the players head on.” Join the conversation: On Social Media use #AskHWTP Email us at feedback@hwtpsportstalk.com Call us at 1 347 989 0227 HWTP Sports Talk With David Weinstein is a Sweet G.

This week we were joined by Emily Giambalvo from The Washington Post who covers the University of Maryland athletics news. We were also joined by author and professor Andrew Billings who co-wrote Mascot Nation: The Controversy Over Native American Representations in Sports. Emily Giambalvo joined us this week to discuss the reinstatement and subsequent firing of Coach DJ Durkin for the University of Maryland’s football team. Durkin was originally taken out of power due to allegations of inappropriate behavior including a toxic culture of intimidation and humiliation against players. Once Durkin was reinstated on Wednesday, there was a major outcry from the players and the community. Giambalvo states that players using their voices to protest against policies and those in power, “is not something that we usually see in college sports.” Join the conversation: On Social Media use #AskHWTP Email us at feedback@hwtpsportstalk.com Call us at 1 347 989 0227 HWTP Sports Talk With David Weinstein is a Sweet G.

“Warriors of Liberty City,” an Official 2018 SXSW Episodic Selection, is a docuseries from Executive Producers LeBron James and Maverick Carter, along with PGA® award-winning director and producer Evan Rosenfeld, that explores Liberty City – a crime-ridden neighborhood in Miami, Fla. that is arguably the NFL’s largest, most successful football factory. The series follows a season with the Liberty City Warriors, a youth football program founded by an unlikely mentor: hip-hop pioneer Luther Campbell, better known as “Uncle Luke.” Before Liberty City native Barry Jenkins won his historic Oscar® for Moonlight, the city was best known for producing some of the biggest names in football, including Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Devonta Freeman, Antonio Brown, Duke Johnson, and Teddy Bridgewater. It's a place synonymous with poverty and gun violence, but in the face of incredible challenges and personal tragedy, the Liberty City Warriors learn to triumph both on and off the football field. Beyond football, Liberty City Warriors Optimist Club is a youth organization that sponsors sports teams, dance, cheerleading, tutoring and academic support. Life, like football, is a contact sport, and for the kids and families of Liberty City, being a Warrior holds the key to both. Missed any of our broadcasts?

Excerpts from the show: “People don’t want to think about sports as being political,” but the NFL has always been interwoven with American politics and culture, author Jesse Berrett tells HWTP Sports Talk. “You are asking these women to either put your career on hold and have a baby, or keep playing and hope that you will still be able to have a child when you want to. To me, that’s not fair.” –Nancy Armour, writer for @usatodaysports tells HWTP Sports Talk. "It’s very dangerous in this country when you start dictating to Americans what is American” and how they should be expressing their patriotism, Washington Post reporter Jerry Brewer tells HWTP Sports Talk.

Over two decades, Laura Okmin has covered the biggest names on the biggest stages including over 10 Super Bowls, 2 Olympics, multiple NBA Finals, World Series and All-Star games.

She is currently a sideline reporter for the NFL on FOX as well as a feature reporter for the NFL on FOX Pre Game Show.

Guests: Michael J. Socolow has been awarded the 2018 Broadcast Historian Award for his book, Six Minutes in Berlin: Broadcast Spectacle and Rowing Gold at the Nazi Olympics. The award is given to an educator who has published or produced work specifically related to broadcast/media history by the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation (LABF) in partnership with the Broadcast Education Association (BEA). From the announcement: "Socolow uses a single case study – the gold-medal winning rowing crew from the University of Washington, which upset the Germans in front of Adolf Hitler and 75,000 fans–to illustrate the development of sports broadcasting at the personal, national, and global levels. He interweaves the broadcast of that race, heard by millions in the United States, with the memories of the oarsmen and contemporaneous press accounts to revisit the dramatic and exciting origins of live global sportscasting." Jerry Breyer, Washington Post Sports Columnist: In his latest column, The Washington Post’s Sports Columnist Jerry Brewer writes that the Washington Redskins have consistently made deplorable decisions leading up to the new report showing the team allegedly allowed deep-pocked male sponsors and FedEx Field suite holders access to see Redskins cheerleaders topless or wearing only body paint. Brewer goes on to write that the Redskins’ inability to get things right is due to owner Daniel Snyder and team president Bruce Allen who “continue to lead one of the NFL’s most important franchises deeper into the sewer.”
