Not Just One of the Guys

1 on 1 with Don Drew - Un podcast de Don Drew

Don Drew goes 1 on 1 with ESPN NFL reporter, Kimberley A Martin. The episode was taped last week before the tragic murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. This incident has captivated the nation so Kimberley hopped back on to quickly discuss the impact that it's had over the last week on athletes and people throughout society. In the originally taped interview, Kimberley talks about playing basketball growing up, being an "enforcer" like Charles Oakley and her rise to ESPN as a journalist and obstacles she's faced covering sports as a woman. She talks about the potential effects of COVID-19 on journalists and sports reporters and what sports could look like in a post COVID world. The conversation turns to the "Rooney Rule" and why there aren't more minority head coaches and front office execs in the NFL. There's some sneaker and style talk towards the end before they wrap up.

You can follow Kimberley on Twitter @ByKimberleyA and on Instagram @KimberleyMartin and you can catch all her work on ESPN.
