Sports Illustrated's Pete Smith is calling on prominent athletes - and their fans - to hold Barstool Sports and founder Dave Portnoy accountable for racist and misogynistic comments. Portnoy has a history of ugly statements, but argues that he's only trying to be funny. He blames critics for trying to "cancel" him.
Smith writes that this isn't about so-called "cancel culture;" instead, he says it's about drawing a line against racism and sexism at a time when social movements are showing progress. Our guests discuss it:
- Pete Smith, editor of Sports Illustrated's Browns Digest
- Chris Thompson, engineer, writer, comedian, and activist
- Brittany Mollis, freelance writer and co-host of the all-female sports podcast "That's What B Said"
