Clinton Yates on Race, Baseball and Family (Recorded at MAJOR in Washington, D.C.)

In the first official episode of Chasing Interesting, Clinton Yates sits down at MAJOR in Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) for a conversation amongst the best of friends.

Clinton is a contributor to ESPN as a panelist on Around The Horn, a storyteller for E:60, a writer for The Undefeated and host of the new SportsCenter segment "Drip Drive." Before ESPN, he wrote for The Washington Post. He's a lifelong Washingtonian and truly someone I consider family.

We talk about why the Nationals winning the World Series made him cry, which leads to a larger discussion about sports, family and the shared experience. Clinton was fresh off a trip to LA where he attended Kobe Bryant's memorial, which also gets discussed as part of the initial conversation.

We also talk about race. What is blackness? How is it inclusive and when should white people simply stand back? What is privilege and why do most people think about it backwards?
