But I don't think anybody, anybody, 53 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: nobody should be forced to like take a stance or 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: whatever if they don't feel they like need it. But 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: like a league full of black athletes, I feel like 56 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: you should make it a priority to acknowledge, you know, certain. 57 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: Think about pul Kaepernick in the NFL. They're penalized for it. 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, like destroyed his whole career, which to this day 59 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: I think is so insane and so. 60 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: One of the one of the worst things I've seen 61 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: intowarts for sure. 62 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just it's just it's so interesting because no 63 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: other public figures or organizations like have an expectation to 64 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: like say something or acknowledge. Like that's like expecting like 65 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: what is something like the Grammys page, Like did they 66 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: have a do they have an MLK post today? 67 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: I don't know, I haven't checked. But it's like, but when. 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: It comes to sports, it's like a given, like everything 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: has to be ignored. But I think it's because it's 70 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: such a wide range of fans and players and sports 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: as universals. 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: So I understand that. 73 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: But I was riding in the car day when I 74 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: was texting about talking about MLKDA and our experiences.

But like you said, the 78 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: playoffs are going on, so it's been everywhere.

I think you covered a bet y face. 104 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: So we were talking texting earlier about what we wanted 105 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: to talk about today. And I grew up in a 106 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: predominantly white school, right, so black is three months civil 107 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 2: rights slavery. All of those conversations were very uncomfortable for me, 108 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: and I was just a kid. So before I talk 109 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: about my experiences, I want to hear your experiences if 110 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: they were similar to mine or completely different, because I 111 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: always think it kind a very. 112 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: Similar, very similar experience. 113 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: I grew up in Alfard of Georgia, so oh yeah, 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: so yeah, we're the same. Yeah. 115 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: There was only one other black family in my whole neighborhood. 116 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: I live in a small neighborhood, but that's still crazy. 117 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: And yeah, there was one to two other black girls 118 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: in my elementary school. Growing up high school, things were 119 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: a lot different, a lot better because I chose to 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: go to a more diverse high school because it was 121 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: being sticking out in that way. But one thing I 122 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: wanted to speak to was the black experience and sports specifically, 123 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: just as far as youth sports is concerned. 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 4: I was a volleyball player. Volleyball is a very I mean. 125 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: It's changing now slowly but surely, but very predominantly white sport. 126 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: I was the only black girl on most of my teams, 127 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: maybe one other black girl my sister coming up, there 128 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: would be three or four of them. 129 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: You see that. 130 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: When you're watching TV and you watch volleyball. But now 131 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: you see so many more teams where half the team 132 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: is black and there's more black girls. I think the 133 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: reason why that's important. People are always. 134 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: Why bring race into everything? 135 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: But when you stick out in that way as a child, 136 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: right in a sport that is ran My coaches were 137 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: white men, and you know it's pretty much ran by 138 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: white people, Obviously you're going to get treated different. 139 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 4: When you're the only one and it just does not 140 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: feel good to stick. 141 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: Out in that way. And it affects your performance. It 142 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: affects your experience as an athlete, It affects what teams 143 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: you make, the kind of decisions you make, I mean 144 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: even things like playing time, the way your teammates group 145 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: together versus how it's just it affects the whole experienced 146 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 1: with the sport. 147 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 4: And I think it's really beautiful how that's evolving now. 148 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: Finally, so how do you as a black volleyball player, like, 149 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: because I've that is something like I've noticed it, but 150 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: I like, I've just never thought about the impact of 151 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: that in like a different sport because obviously in basketball 152 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: it's predominantly black. So I personally have never really experienced 153 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: that even overseas, like it was like different obviously, but 154 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: like you were like American, I mean, at least in 155 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: my mise. I'm not gonna speak for everybody, because some 156 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: people have had horrible experience overseas, but like you were 157 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: an American and then you were black, Like they had 158 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: like Vivatwo just because you're from America, and then they 159 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: had bew with you because you were black. But like 160 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: the predominant thing that stood out about you is that 161 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: you were not from their country, which that even that 162 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: experience was so interesting as well. But in volleyball, like 163 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: were you treated you were treated poorly? You were treated better? 164 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: Or was it like performance based? Was there like just 165 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 2: blatant racism going on? Like it? 166 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: Like, I have no idea. 167 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: I want them to do documentaries on this about the 168 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: racism that goes on within volleyball. It's I mean volleyball 169 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: as a whole, almost in a way negatively. How Like 170 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: ballet relies a lot on beauty standards.

I'm looking 452 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: at the unrivaled standings. Okay, we got in first place, 453 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: the Laces, the mist, then the Phantom, then the Rose, 454 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: then the Vinyl, then the Breeze High and Lunar Owls 455 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: and last place. 456 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, the lunar owls have zero wins. 457 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: Skyler played the last game, but she hasn't been playing, 458 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 2: so I think when she comes back it's going to 459 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 2: be better. 460 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: I hope the Rose lost two games in a row. 461 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: The Breeze lost two games in a row, and those 462 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: were our favorite teams last week, so we might have 463 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: jinxed them. So we're not going to talk about them 464 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 2: today because I think we jinxed them. Chelsea Gray is 465 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: leading the league with thirty points per game, though, which 466 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 2: is fire, go Chelsea, Go the Laces. I don't know 467 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: why we weren't like talking all about the Laces. I 468 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: think they have the best roster. They have two players 469 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 2: averaging twenty points, Jackie and Slim, Vinyl and Lunar. I 470 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: was also have two players averaging twenty points, but the Laces, Like. 471 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 3: I don't know why. 472 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: I was like, they're gonna they have the best chance 473 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: to win, like they're they have a really good team, 474 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: like they drafted that team very well.
