About this listen

A recent research project into racial bias in football broadcasting found that commentators were 6.59 times more likely to talk about the power of a player if he had darker skin, and that 63% of all criticism of a player’s intelligence was aimed at players with darker skin. It is embedded in the game.


In this episode, we speak to USMNT legend DaMarcus Beasley and Daryl Dike—part of a new exciting group of young American soccer players—about their experiences of race in football, and how it changes the way you’re treated at work, in sport, on the street, and in your own home.
