Episode Description:
In this episode of Plugged In, Chris Howard dives headfirst into the deep end of what’s really going on in sports right now — and trust, it’s bigger than the box score.
We’re breaking down how youth sports have turned into a cash-grab country club, where talent takes a backseat to bank accounts. Then it’s on to the NCAA and the chaos of NIL — billions on the table, no leadership in sight, and players left to navigate a broken system.
We also dig into the WNBA’s so-called “physicality problem.” Is the league too tough… or are new fans just uncomfortable watching confident Black women play with fire?
And finally — ESPN. The brand that used to run the sports world is now caught between viral noise and an identity crisis. Is it still the leader, or just chasing clout?
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s all right here on Plugged In. Hit play.
