NAACP Leader to Push Back on Protect College Sports Act on ESPN
Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP, is set to appear on ESPN’s SportsCenter (Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. ET) to discuss the Protect College Sports Act in response to Senator Ted Cruz’s platform on ESPN; the move, likely a PR effort, follows ESPN’s Thursday–Saturday coverage plan tied to possible Senate action, and Disney’s lobbying aims to see the bill pass, with the bill still heading to the House even if voted on before Saturday.
