Beyond JMS: Sports, Media, & Social Justice
Link: Beyond JMS: Sports, Media, & Social Justice video
In this webinar, we discuss the role of sports and media in social justice and equality movements. Our guest was SDSU graduate Angela LaChica, founder of LaChica Sports & Entertainment and Managing Director of the Players Coalition, a non-profit organization that has coaches, owners, and professional athletes working to improve social justice and racial equality in our country. Angela achieved national recognition in 2016 as one of the lead negotiators behind the scenes for the NFL’s $89 million multi-year commitment to social justice initiatives. She now provides ongoing guidance to the NFL’s top management and partners on the strategic implementation of those initiatives. Angela discusses those efforts, and the role of sports more broadly, to affect positive social change.
