Shut Up and Dribble 2.0 - Are Athletes Quietly Exiting Politics?

Are athletes making a conscious choice to “shut up and dribble,” or is something bigger at play? We discuss how this trend contrasts with previous election cycles when athletes used their platforms to endorse candidates and speak out on social issues. Could this silence be a sign of a deeper shift in culture, or are athletes just reading the room differently this time?

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the role of sports figures in politics and whether we’re witnessing a new phase of “shut up and dribble.”
