The co-host of ESPN’s 6 pm SportsCenter show, Jemele Hill, joins us to talk about how she and her fellow host Michael Smith are reshaping the sports institution—with a little bit of help from Biggie Smalls, and amplified by growing up in Detroit.

I also have some “choice words” about the NCAA tournament, a Just Stand Up award to the women of USA hockey, and a shocking Just Sit Down award to one of our favorites. We also have a new Kaepernick Watch and merch news!

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
