This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features former Courier Journal columnist Jerry Brewer, who is currently a senior columnist with The Athletic.
Brewer explains why the Preakness Stakes has to move in order to keep the Triple Crown relevant. He also tells why Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby continues to be the crown jewel of horse racing.
Politics and sports often intersect on the playing field, but Brewer lays out why he doesn’t expect Black athletes to start boycotting Southern schools en masse due to gerrymandered districts that have peeled back representation.
A new episode of this podcast, hosted by Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, posts each Wednesday. You can listen to The C.L. Brown Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast, Audible, CastBox and iHeartRadio, among others.
