Real Sports Heroes explores the importance of today’s black sports star having a voice that goes beyond the court and playing field. Real Sports Heroes takes a look at the sports world's biggest stars and lets them tell their story about their life growing up black in America and why those experiences impacted them today and why they want their voice to be heard beyond the hardwood.
The American sports star has a voice like never before but there are still people in our country that want it silenced. So why is that a bad idea?
RSH dives deep into each athlete/guest’s personal backstory as we dig into why this voice should not and will not be muted.
