Who decided these people didn't matter?

Every athlete in this episode was elite, not just good, and the sports world still managed to forget them. Jacob goes solo to talk sports media, who actually gets the mic, and three untold stories for Black History Month UK.

🎙️ Fresh off the NFL London game, Jacob asks why sports media is so personality-driven and whether the people with real knowledge of the game are being overlooked.

Then three stories that should be taught in every school:🚴 Major Taylor, the fastest cyclist on the planet in 1899, banned from the track and died with nothing🏃‍♀️ Louise Stokes & Tidye Pickett, the first Black American women on an Olympic team, benched when they'd earned their place⚽ Arthur Wharton, the world's first Black professional footballer, whose grave stayed unmarked for decades
