Days of Red Stars Past: CP23, part one

Days of Red Stars Past: CP23, part one

Author: Southside Trap Podcast June 3, 2020 Duration: 43:06

It's never a bad day to talk about Christen Press, but whew, the timing on this one.

We sat down on Friday night to talk about a Chicago legend, goal scorer, and captain, but we also talked about what is happening in America right now, the intersectionality of sports and life, and how important it is to support the black community every day in both.

This is the second to last topic in our Days of Red Stars Past series, but it also felt weirdly essential this week. We hope you guys enjoy.

Sandra and I also made some donations this week, funded by this Patreon. We encourage you to seek out ways to support in the coming days, and throughout the rest of time.
