\n
\n
\n
\nHey everybody, I\u2019m Brian Clapp, VP of Content and Engaged Learning at WorkInsports.com and this is the work in sports podcast\u2026
\n
\n
\n
\nCool note to add to our new sponsor, SiriusXM, coming up on Wednesday we\u2019re going to have on SiriusXM Manager of Sports Partnerships and Marketing Andrew Diamond -- I thought it would be super cool to change our normal format and do a little something different.
\n
\n
\n
\nAndrew is going to take us through his job and his role at SiriusXM in sports partnerships, through the lens of the \u201cFan Call of the Year\u201d contest -- from concept brainstorming to organizing the teams necessary to make the concept real, to meeting with stakeholders, promoting and activating -- you\u2019ll get an idea of what it\u2019s really like to work in marketing, by seeing how an idea turns into reality.
\n
\n
\n
\nI\u2019m excited about this, because I love the idea of learning about the role through the actual process of creating a sports partnership! Of course I love the idea\u2026 it was my idea!
\n
\n
\n
\nTune in Wednesday for that -- and seriously, if I was even slightly interested in sports broadcasting, or just wanted to have some fun, I would be all over this \u201cfan call of the year\u201d contest -- you could call a half-inning of the futures game on SiriusXM MLB radio and get a trip to the all-star game in Atlanta? Super cool.
\n
\n
\n
\nAlright on to today\u2019s topic.\u00a0
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nActually quick recap -- last weeks episode we talked about cancel vs. consequence culture -- and again we used misogyny in the sports industry as the launching point for the discussion\u2026
\n
\n
\n
\nIf you haven\u2019t listened to the episode you should, it\u2019s raw and it\u2019s honest, but I also want to follow up on two things:
\n
\n
\n
\n1: For those of you that requested I stick to sports and stop having conversations about topics like this -- stop it. You are embarrassing yourself. Don\u2019t listen if you don\u2019t want to be challenged, and if you truly think subjects like misogyny and social justice don\u2019t intersect with sports and our day to day existence -- wake up. Every sports league, team, lifestyle brand, agency and organization connected to sports is taking on these issues because they are important, and they affect all of us.
\n
\n
\n
\n2: I did get called out for one thing, and I\u2019d like to say thank you for it. Kae Dube, rightfully pointed out that not all women have 2 X chromosomes. And she is right, she knows I didn\u2019t say it in a derogatory way so we are cool, but I should not have been as verbally clever as I was being,","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/2f611643-cbed-4875-a5cb-acd6fd86f5b1/wispod-cover.png"}
