Episode description

We're honored to be joined by journalist and documentarian, Mark Wright, to hear about "The Bison Project", his latest podcast discussing the 1971 Howard University soccer team that was unjustly stripped of its national championship! 

It's a packed Cooligans episode after we were off for MLK Day! Mark Wright joins the show to tell us about Sports Explains the World's "The Bison Project" and share his biggest takeaways from his reporting. Mark and the guys analyze how racial dynamics in 1970s America may have impacted the NCAA's decision to strip Howard of its title and examine what can be done to right this wrong today. Christian and Alexis also break down some other stories from the world of footy, including the potential collapse of the Saudi Pro League, Luis Suarez joining Inter Miami, Ashley Sanchez being traded during the NWSL draft, and Jose Mourinho being sacked by Roma.

You can find "The Bison Project" in the Sports Explains the World podcast feed, available now on all platforms: https://www.thebisonproject.com
