  • Resumen

  • On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and special guests Kazeem Famuyide (7pm In Brooklyn) and Kevin Clancey (Barstool Sports) take a deep dive into the layers of race, personal branding, and economics shaping the world of sports, with a spotlight on the WNBA and the rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The conversation kicks off with The Problematic Nature of Race in Sports (00:00) before debating who truly represents the league’s future (01:57). As we compare Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese (05:06), we examine how race and public perception influence their careers and media narratives. Beyond the rivalry, we explore The Economic Landscape of Women's Basketball (10:08) and how personal branding plays a crucial role in an athlete’s success (11:31). The discussion expands to the broader impact of Race and Gender in Sports Narratives (16:19)—who gets to be the hero, and who is cast as the villain (20:19)? Shifting gears, we talk about the art of the game, from The Aesthetic Appeal of Athletic Performance (23:31) to the Ball family’s undeniable influence on modern basketball (28:03). We also break down The Rise of Caitlin Clark (30:13) and the ever-present scrutiny of Controversial Athlete Behavior (31:34). The episode takes an unexpected yet hilarious turn into everyday struggles, including Airport Etiquette and Travel Experiences (36:10)—because let’s be real, navigating TSA is a sport in itself. But we bring it back to the serious stuff, unpacking Accountability in Sports (46:26) and the role race plays in how we judge winners and losers (55:20). From the power of celebrity influence to the moral dilemmas of sports fandom, this episode pulls no punches. Tap in!
