In this sports-focused episode of Mama We Made It, Dj and Reg dive deep into their experiences and perspectives from inside the sports industry.

They spotlight unsung women athletes, with Dj passionately defending boxing champion Claressa Shields and the lack of recognition she receives compared to other sports stars like Angel Reese.

They reflect on the evolving landscape of women’s sports, sharing excitement about athletes like Coco Gauff and broadcasters such as Maria Taylor and Taylor Rooks stepping into new spotlight roles at NBC and Amazon. As they explore their complicated relationships with major leagues, both open up about NFL fandom, the fallout from the Colin Kaepernick protests, gatekeeping in ownership, and how personal ethics intersect with the love of the game.

The duo also highlights their favorite sports to watch—tennis, track and field, and international soccer—giving flowers to icons and discussing future hopes for greater diversity and visibility across all levels of athletics. The episode closes with optimism for women’s sports gaining respect on their own terms, and a nod to those like Nico Harrison in the NBA who are reshaping the conversation. It’s a heartfelt, honest, and wide-ranging take on what’s good in sports today.
