This week HWTP Sports Talk was joined by Washington Post writer Adam Kilgore and attorney Stuart Davidson to discuss the NHL concussion lawsuit worth nearly $19 million. This case is similar to multiple cases brought against the NFL, which resulted in larger sums awarded to injured parties. Adam Kilgore states that it may be, “the high profile of former players [in the NFL] who were showing symptoms at an older age or even doing things like committing suicide,” that may have caused the case against the NFL to have more media attention than the lawsuit brought against the NHL. Kilgore explains that in the cases similar to the concussion case against the NFL, the league, “tries to mitigate or eliminate any PR headaches, so they settled right away.” In the case against the NHL, “the commissioner decided that the league was going to meet the players head on.”   Join the conversation: On Social Media use #AskHWTP Email us at feedback@hwtpsportstalk.com Call us at 1 347 989 0227 HWTP Sports Talk With David Wei

This week we were joined by Emily Giambalvo from The Washington Post who covers the University of Maryland athletics news. We were also joined by author and professor Andrew Billings who co-wrote Mascot Nation: The Controversy Over Native American Representations in Sports.   Emily Giambalvo joined us this week to discuss the reinstatement and subsequent firing of Coach DJ Durkin for the University of Maryland’s football team. Durkin was originally taken out of power due to allegations of inappropriate behavior including a toxic culture of intimidation and humiliation against players. Once Durkin was reinstated on Wednesday, there was a major outcry from the players and the community. Giambalvo states that players using their voices to protest against policies and those in power, “is not something that we usually see in college sports.”  Join the conversation: On Social Media use #AskHWTP Email us at feedback@hwtpsportstalk.com Call us at 1 347 989 0227 HWTP Sports Talk With David Weinstein is a Sweet G

Excerpts from the show: “People don’t want to think about sports as being political,” but the NFL has always been interwoven with American politics and culture, author Jesse Berrett tells HWTP Sports Talk. “You are asking these women to either put your career on hold and have a baby, or keep playing and hope that you will still be able to have a child when you want to. To me, that’s not fair.” –Nancy Armour, writer for @usatodaysports tells HWTP Sports Talk. "It’s very dangerous in this country when you start dictating to Americans what is American” and how they should be expressing their patriotism, Washington Post reporter Jerry Brewer tells HWTP Sports Talk.
