There is a not-insignificant chance this article is going to be seen as “political,” or maybe not fit for a website about sports. To that, I say first that sports are political, second that this is only going to be as political as you let it be: that is, if you take a position that opposes all available evidence, and third that I refuse to be complicit in any kind of worldbuilding that forgets that athletes, and specifically student-athletes, are people who deserve to be heard - and given the sports we cover most often, whose blackness deserves to be heard.
