In the early 90s, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf had a promising career ahead of him in the NBA as an up-and-coming star. That all changed in 1996 when he refused to stand for the US National Anthem and called the US flag a symbol of oppression. The NBA retaliated by suspending him, and Abdul-Rauf spent the next two decades playing exclusively for international leagues. On this episode of Edge of Sports, Abdul-Rauf looks back on his protest and how engaging the literature of revolutionary icons like Malcolm X influenced his decision. Elsewhere in the episode, Dave Zirin takes aim at Ron DeSantis's use of sports to stage a political takeover at the New College of Florida, and Dr. Ron Bishop joins the show to discuss how sports media covers mental health.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Join Hoot in the Sports Deli for today's incredible menu. Tops on the list is Mahmoud Abdul Rauf and the most recent news from Showtime as to why the Documentary STAND was pulled. Next up is my thoughts on Dan Lanning, Head Coach of the Oregon Ducks and why I think he missed a golden opportunity. Where is the support for Colin Kaepernick? All he wanted was to have a chance at an NFL practice squad and instead, he has to again settle, this time in the CFL, the Canadian Football League. And finally, whether you love her or hate her, you cannot argue with the receipts that Taylor Swift and her Swifties bring to the cities she visits. And could this change the NFL economically as well, in particular for female viewers because of her rumored relationship with Kansas City Chiefs Tight End and future Hall-Of-Famer, Travis Kelce? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/support

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was Colin before Colin, Kobe before Kobe and Steph Curry before Steph Curry. That's real. He was destined for the Hall-of-Fame until HBO and the NBA railroaded him and his career. And now Showtime is doing the same. They all owe him a public apology in my opinion as does the Big 3. Shout out to Craig Hodges, Bruce Maxwell, Colin Kaepernick and Mahmoud Abdul Rauf in particular for the STAND that they all took (and there's many others like Tommy Smith, John Carlos, Serena and Venus, Jim Brown, and Ali) against police brutality and systemic racism. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/support

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf played in the NBA in the 1990s. He was Steph before Steph, Kobe before Kobe and Colin before Colin. And what he's had to endure after getting white balled in the NBA, and most recently in the Big 3 and now with Showtime is a travesty of justice. HBO and the NBA and now Showtime owe him, Director Joslyn Rose Lyons a massive publicly apology and to put STAND back on at Showtime. Anything less is unacceptable. And athletes everywhere and the public need to STAND up for this unacceptable unconscionable act. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/support

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was having a career year in 1996. The 26-year-old guard was averaging 20ppg and 7apg on a 40% clip from deep. But when Joe Williams, a local Denver radio host, brought up on air that Abdul-Rauf hadn't been standing for the National Anthem, everything changed. The backlash came in like a tidal wave – from both the public and from the NBA – and a few months later, he was out of Denver, and eventually the league entirely.In this episode of Forgotten Seasons, Dylan Dreyfuss is joined by Abdul-Rauf to relive the forgotten and iconic moments of his career. The two discuss Abdul-Rauf's rookie season, where he was part of the worst defensive team of all-time, Denver's historic upset in the First Round of the 1994 Playoffs, a promising 1996 Nuggets squad and much more.Follow Forgotten Seasons (@forgottenseasonsnba) and Showtime Basketball (@shobaskebtall) for more.

When thinking about the history of the struggle for racial equality in America, prominent individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass often come to mind. However, sports have also been a vehicle to driving American society forward, with key moments including Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, Muhammad Ali refusing to go to war in Vietnam, and Tommie Smith flashing the Black Power fist at the 1968 Olympics.These acts were met with vitriol at the time, but these athletes made their mark on and off the field by pushing society forward. When Colin Kaepernick began kneeling instead of standing for the national anthem to open a dialogue about Black people and policing in America in 2016, it also angered a significant portion of the NFL fanbase and franchise owners. Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since then, despite being 29 at the time, never officially retiring, and having made a Super Bowl appearance as a starting quarterback. Before Kaepernick, former NBA player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf similarly sat for the national anthem as a silent protest for his religious beliefs. He was also met with derision and left the league two years later at age 28.On today's WorkInSports Podcast, we examine the societal impact of Black athletes throughout American history to contextualize today's climate of athlete activism. VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp speaks with Dr. Shaun Anderson, Associate Professor of Organizational Communication at Loyola Marymount and author of The Black Athlete Revolt. The two discuss:• Sports' role as a catalyst for bringing societal issues to light• The history of athletes, particularly Black athletes, using their voice to drive societal change and why that movement stopped in the 80s and early 90s• The price Black athletes like Abdul-Rauf and Kaepernick pay for speaking out• The effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in what specifically?Enjoy the full episode for an enlightening perspective on the impact of Black athletes on society.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 6th and final study session on Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf's In The Blink of an Eye. Abdul-Rauf, formerly known as Chris Jackson, is a retired NBA player who became infamous for not participating in the national anthem during the 1996 season. Abdul-Rauf was quickly ejected from the league and all but forgotten. In fact, White journalists found as many of Abdul-Rauf's black co-workers as possible to have them criticize how he responded to White Supremacy/Racism. Gus hopes that by studying Abdul-Rauf's tribulations, non-white people will better understand the importance of resisting the urge to criticize other Victims of Racism. Last week, Abdul-Rauf described his deepening Muslim faith which included making the pilgrimage to Mecca. Moving away from the niggerization process, Abdul-Rauf read as much as he could. Unfortunately, he tried to share books and constructive information with his Denver Nuggets teammates. This and his pre-game prayers riled up White management even before the anthem controversy. His name change wasn't popular either. We concluded with Abdul-Rauf constructing his dream house for he and his wife in Kiln, Mississippi. This is NFL legend Brett Favre's hometown. The house was set a blaze, and no one seemed rushed to alert the black homeowners to the tragedy. #ShutUpAndDribble #IShowAmHungry #BallGames INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf's In The Blink of an Eye. Abdul-Rauf, formerly known as Chris Jackson, is a retired NBA player who became infamous for not participating in the national anthem during the 1996 season. Abdul-Rauf was quickly ejected from the league and all but forgotten. In fact, White journalists found as many of Abdul-Rauf's black co-workers as possible to have them criticize how he responded to White Supremacy/Racism. This very dynamic is being replicated currently with basketball player Kyrie Irving being widely admonished by many of his non-white colleagues. Gus hopes that by studying Abdul-Rauf's tribulations, non-white people will better understand the importance of resisting the urge to criticize other Victims of Racism. Last week, Abdul-Rauf described the process of leaving college to join the NBA. He remembers visiting his mother's dilapidated house with the empty refrigerator. Interestingly, once he joins the NBA, he gains a lot of weight - which Gus suspects could be compensation for being malnourished and starving for most of his early life. As opposed to chasing White Women and running the streets, Abdul-Rauf took care if his family, remained a disciplined Muslim, and worked on his basketball craft.

Abdul-Rauf, formerly known as Chris Jackson, is a retired NBA player who became infamous for not participating in the national anthem during the 1996 season. Abdul-Rauf was quickly ejected from the league and all but forgotten. In fact, White journalists found as many of Abdul-Rauf's black co-workers as possible to have them criticize how he responded to White Supremacy/Racism. This very dynamic is being replicated currently with basketball player Kyrie Irving being widely admonished by many of his non-white colleagues. Gus hopes that by studying Abdul-Rauf's tribulations, non-white people will better understand the importance of resisting the urge to criticize other Victims of Racism. Last week, Abdul-Rauf described his brilliant college basketball career. He scored buckets by the bushel and refused to take sass from a behemoth LSU freshman named Shaquille O'Neal. Importantly, Abdul-Rauf detailed how Shaq's father, the late Sergeant Philip Harrison, was heavily involved with his son's basketball development and talked the White coach often. This is in stark contrast to the "father hunger" we've heard about throughout this memoir. We also heard about an extraordinary episode where Abdul-Rauf attended a White Louisiana church, and a Suspected Racist child spoke in tongues while placing hands on the college hoops star. This and other questions led to his conversion to Islam. Apparently, Coach Dale Brown (Racist Suspect) gave his top black player a copy of Minister Malcolm X's autobiography, and this radically changed how Abdul-Rauf thought about, behaved around, and spoke to individuals classified as White. He also details his journey to completely eliminating his reliance on prescription medication to control Tourette Syndrome. #HankGathers #Hunger #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 3rd study session on Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf's In The Blink of an Eye.

Gus hopes that by studying Abdul-Rauf's tribulations, non-white people will better understand the importance of resisting the urge to criticize other Victims of Racism. Last week, Abdul-Rauf talked about the corrosive impact of negro sitcoms like Sanford & Son and Good Times. He said these programs instilled a deep sense of hopelessness about the plight of black people - and both model namecalling other black people. Abdul-Rauf said sex was all around him. He talked about black children having sex at age 12 and 13 and young children being raped by their teacher (including female teachers raping black boys). It took his high school basketball coach's White wife to recommend that a doctor evaluate Abdul-Rauf (Chris Jackson) for Tourette Syndrome. Learning that he suffered from an ailment gave the young basketball prodigy a sense of comfort about his health struggles. #MinisterMalcolmX #ReligionOfWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

During our premier study session, hunger was the theme. Abdul-Rauf talked about his father hunger because he had no idea who is dad is. He writes about growing up in Mississippi and starving all the time. He thankfully took advantage of the many fruit and nut trees in the delta region, but we also heard about sugar water and coffee for dinner. Abdul-Rauf's black mother did not graduate high school and was likely illiterate. We heard about black people name-calling other black people and more details about attempted black parents having random sex partners (boyfriends) around their young offspring. Abdul-Rauf's mother beat him when he was young and shouted at him for being fidgety. It was not until he was 17 that he was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. #ShutUpAndDribble #RacialShadowBoxing #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

On this edition of The Mighty, MeidasTouch co-founder Ben Meiselas interviews world-renowned basketball player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who first caught the nation's attention in 1988 as a Louisiana State University freshman sensation. Abdul-Rauf was drafted 3rd overall by the Denver Nuggets and quickly became one of the NBA's top scorers. Despite topping the leaderboards, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf's NBA career came to a sudden halt after he decided he would no longer stand for the national anthem to protest systemic oppression and racism. Abdul-Rauf soon found himself shunned by the league and effectively forced out of the NBA. Abdul-Rauf tells his compelling story in his new autobiography, In the Blink of an Eye, published by Kaepernick Publishing, which is available to order right now.
