Bonus Episode: Black in a White Sport - An Extended Chime In with J’Lynn Matthews, Colton Green, and Austin Hegmon

In this special bonus episode, we bring you the voices of three athletes in Ultimate Frisbee. Jay, Colton, and Austin generously provide us with a window into the life of a POC athlete in a sport steeped in white culture. Through the specificity of each of their stories, we were reminded that the project of equity is one that permeates every aspect of our lives. Whether you’re on the field or in the boardroom, we’re sure you’ll relate to the issues these young athletes describe: the codification of white professionalism, performative wokeness, and the untrained biases that are so painfully ingrained in our culture. In their thoughtful and loving critiques of Ultimate Frisbee culture, all three athletes give us reason to be hopeful about the shifting tides within athletics and beyond. This episode was produced by Lili Gu & Julia Drachman, and edited by Josh Berl.
