Are Influencers Ruining the U.S. Open?

Author: The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts September 3, 2026 Duration: 21:01

Loren LoRosa breaks down her experience at the U.S. Open for HBCU Day and why the tournament has become so much bigger than tennis. From the growing presence of influencers and celebrities to the business happening inside the suites, Loren explores how major sporting events become lifestyle destinations—and whether that comes at the expense of the actual sport. She also talks Black representation in tennis, the cultural impact of stars like Venus, Serena, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka and Taylor Townsend, and why seeing HBCUs celebrated on such a major stage matters. Plus, Loren gets into the unspoken rules of tennis etiquette and the viral tension between tennis fans and influencers.

You’re tuning into the unfiltered, unpredictable energy of weekday mornings with The Breakfast Club. Hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Charlamagne Tha God have built what’s been called the world’s most dangerous morning show, and this podcast captures every chaotic, insightful, and hilarious moment. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a table where no topic is off-limits-current events, celebrity interviews, and raw social commentary all get dissected with equal parts humor and blunt honesty. The chemistry between the three hosts is the real engine here; their debates, personal stories, and spontaneous tangents often become the main event. Listening means you’re in the room for genuine reactions, whether it’s a heated discussion or a moment of unexpected vulnerability. This isn’t a polished, scripted conversation-it’s the sound of three distinct personalities navigating the day’s headlines and their own lives, usually at the same time. For a daily dose of comedy that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, this podcast delivers the unique blend of chaos and clarity that has defined its reputation.
