Chalk Talk with Kim Y. Davis

Hey sports enthusiasts! Ready for a thrilling episode of Chalk Talk? We've got your all-access pass to the world of sports, culture, and lifestyle. Check out the real-time commentary and plenty of excitement.The Houston Texans have a two-day mandatory minicamp beginning this morning, but first I’m going to start with the drama surrounding the WNBA and the Caitlin Clark story. There has been so much conversation about Clark and what she means to not only the WNBA, but women’s basketball. Quite frankly the conversation and coverage from media who prior to Clark’s emergence as a generational player have never really covered the league has created some interesting and dangerous narratives. Headlines referring to a hard foul against Clark as “assault” in the Chicago Tribune is just one example. Another is a conversation on a national sports debate show that went off the rails because… well, tune in and we’ll talk about it. For context, I’ve followed the WNBA since its inception including being part of the Houston Comets’ broadcast team for two of their championship seasons. Kris Garner of the Houston Roundball Review, also a long-time basketball and women’s basketball journalist will join me.In other basketball news, the NBA Finals start later this week… we’ll have a preview.  Now back to the Houston Texans, everyone should be on the field today and tomorrow for the team’s mandatory minicamp. We may even get a chance to talk with Texans’ receiver Stefon Diggs… I’ll let you know. Last, but certainly not least we’ll check in on the Houston Astros. The team is 4-6 over the last ten games, but got a good win over the Cardinals last night at home.Join the conversation online and connect with Kim Davis for top-notch communications strategy, media training, and leadership development.

She also introduces you to interesting people, places, and issues. On this week’s show the big interview is with my colleague and friend David Steele. He has been a professional sports journalist for more than 35 years, written for the Sporting News, AOL, the Baltimore Sun, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Newsday, and has contributed to ESPN’s The Undefeated, USA Today, and the NAACP’s the Crisis Magazine. He joins me to talk about his latest book It Was Always a Choice, a closely observed, well-argued examination of how athletes have used their fame to advance civil rights. He lends a critical eye to the moment we’re having in sports right now as he examines the choices athletes have had to either pick up the baton of activism or not. Later in the show we’ll look at what’s happening with the Houston Texans, their 1-9-1 record and the media’s role in shaping a narrative that goes beyond the field. There is enough blame to go around at Houston’s NFL franchise, and the root of the problem may just be what ownership has longed for by coveting the New England Patriots way of doing business. We’ll talk about it. You’ll also hear from Texans coach Lovie Smith as the team prepares to host former Texans QB Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns this weekend at NRG Stadium. In the NBA, the Houston Rockets have won two games in a row for the first time this season and are in Denver for a 2-games with the Broncos.
