The view of college athletes as unpaid workers is gaining currency among the public. Of course, it’s one thing to have an analysis of how universities exploit their students—it’s another to know what to do about it. What about unionization? College Football Players Association founder and Executive Director Jason Stahl joins Dave Zirin on Edge of Sports for a deep dive into the merits, challenges, and opportunities for change in unionizing college athletes. Zirin also shares some choice words about the triumph of Spain’s world cup women over toxic men, and on Ask a Sports Scholar, he speaks with Theresa Runstedtler about her book ‘Black Ball: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Spencer Haywood, and the Generation that Saved the Soul of the NBA.’
