On this week’s episode of the Edge of Sports podcast, activist and educator Jesse Hagopian joins the show to talk about Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s decision to wear a pair of cleats.
Good news for antiracist students. Nominations are now open for the #BlackEducationMatters Student Activist Awards, which recognize students in Seattle and King County who fight racism. Award winners will receive $1,000, provided by Seattle history teacher Jesse Hagopian. You may remember that Seattle cops pepper-sprayed Hagopian on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2015. He sued the city and won the $100,000 settlement that he now uses to fund the award.
