Amazing Sport Stories

Such importance stories to be told! Polished production! Hang on every word writing and delivery! So happy to have found a binge worthy, quality, and human spirit expanding podcast!

The single most powerful and appreciated podcast I have ever listened to. Tears upon tears! Masterfully produced. Long overdue. Thank you so much! …..Sid Smith, Boston, MA and Savannah, GA

Thank you, BBC for airing this magnificent story. I was a freshman in high school in a different state and knew nothing of the story in 1969. These 14 men did not have any idea of the consequences of what would happen to them. So their standing up for justice was an act of inherent courage because of the, wonderful people that they were and are. This is an important story in the history of relationships between bigoted white America and black Americans, full of heart, soul, courage, and wisdom beyond their years. I urge all sports fans, and all those interested in the history of racism in the United States to listen to this 4-part podcast.

I was in high school several states away from Wyoming when this occurred but never knew anything about it—I did, however, know about the Black arms raised at the Mexico City Olympics and the civil rights demonstrations of that time. Thanks for sharing this event; I feel so sad for what these brave men experienced, based solely on skin color—and this is still occurring today 60+ years later. These 4 episodes were well done!
