Winging it with Zak and Brad: Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans discuss the legacies of systemic racism, and Major League Soccer's return to play

On the latest installment of Winging it with Zak and Brad, club legends Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans open up the episode by discussing the killing of George Floyd and the ensuing protests, institutional racism, police brutality, and the somber history of racism and inequality in the United States.

“I think it’s something we have to come to grips with, come to terms with and try to understand,” said Zakuani. “I think most of us are logical and reasonable, and can agree that there’s a problem.”

In light of the current historical moment, the pair discuss the range of emotions – grief, anger, frustration, and hope – that they’ve experienced as they’ve watched events unfold across the nation and world these past ten days.
