A 5-year old can spot Donald Sterling's racism, but sports radio host's Chris Russo's assertion that he just can't find any good radio hosts of color is no less discriminatory. Dr. Thabiti Lewis is currently an Associate Professor of English at Washington State University Vancouver. He has published widely in the areas of American literature, masculinity, African American Studies, and popular culture (music and sports). In December of 2010 he published a pioneering book about sports, race, and American culture, Ballers of the New School: Race and Sports in America.

We will also get reaction to Russo and Sterling from radio hosts from "War Room Sports", a much anticipated, roundtable format, internet sports talk radio show, dedicated to an unbiased, objective, though highly opinionated examination of the people, places, and things in our wild and wacky world of sports and beyond.
