Settle in, because today’s episode of The GIST of It is a doozy. After news of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady’s massive contract to serve as a broadcaster after his playing career ends, Steph and guest co-host Lauren are discussing the myriad disparities in the sports broadcasting world when it comes to contracts for non-white and female commentators.

Then after the break stick around for even more WTF news from college lacrosse. Members of the Delaware State University, an HBCU, women’s lacrosse team were racially profiled when their bus was pulled over and searched by police last month. Absolutely enraging.
