About this episode

Emily Austin joins The Riley Gaines Show to discuss the presence of Trump-supporting athletes in sports and the pressures they face from media.

Emily Austin joins The Riley Gaines Show to expose what she says many people in sports media already know: there are far more Trump-supporting athletes, including NBA players, than the public is led to believe. Emily and Riley discuss why athletes stay quiet, how woke sports media pressures players and broadcasters, and why the UFC and combat sports feel completely different from the NBA and other major leagues. In this episode, Emily Austin also reacts to her viral video of Billie Eilish’s anti-ICE Grammys speech, calls out celebrity hypocrisy from the Met Gala to Hollywood socialism, and opens up about DEI in sports broadcasting, cancel culture, anti-Semitism, faith, and what young women need to know if they want to speak boldly in public life.
