Sports is one of the most consumed forms of entertainment in the United States, yet many of these sports rely on and, some, even celebrate violence. This isn't anything new, but when the consumption of violence is so wide spread, we learn to overlook violence in our lives. Further, because these athletes are often idols to many, when they perpetrate violence, it is often ignored or pushed under the rug as long as they are good. This week we sit down with Dr.'s Angie Hattery and Earl Smith to discuss sports culture, violence in sports, and how and why so many of these athletes get away with causing harm off the field.
For more about Angie and Earl, check out there website smithandhattery.com and to view their Gender Based Violence in Sports database head to smithandhattery.com/gbv!

Men, especially black men, are often lacking spaces to talk with other men about themselves and their experiences with victimization and harm.

Cultural scripts are internalized patterns of behavior and thought that guide how we behave, interpret actions, and react in social contexts. These "scripts" aren't rules but rather expectations on how we are supposed to act and behave. But what if we didn't have to? What if there was a way we could "rewrite" these scripts to live more authentically? That is just the conversation we dive in to today with our guest and friend Aubrey Aust.

Pride Month is upon us and this week our hosts explain the history of Pride and help those of us who aren't members of the LGTBQ+ community start to gain an understanding of the different facets of the LGBTQ+ community.
