Tom Ley is the sports editor at The Good Man Project
We had the opportunity to speak about one of Tom’s most recent articles, “Dear White Sports Writers, Please Stop Calling Black Athletes Thugs”
During our chat Tom, talks about the story behind the article, the history and the existence of racial tension and racism in the NBA and the media coverage, Does NBA culture represent American culture?, the disconnect between older white sports reporters and the Black athlete, how the social media has shown an increase of subtle racism and his call to action for many sport reporters and when we read racist coverage of athletes.
