NAACP president Derrick Johnson will appear on ESPN to discuss the Protect College Sports Act, though not on Saturday's College GameDay as originally requested. Instead, Johnson will be featured on Tuesday's SportsCenter at 6:00 p.m. ET, following ESPN's decision to give Senator Ted Cruz a platform to promote the bill without offering opposing views.
The timing of Johnson's appearance suggests a PR response rather than a balanced presentation of views, especially as ESPN's parent company Disney is actively lobbying for the bill to pass. Even if the Senate votes by Saturday, the legislation would still need approval from the House of Representatives. cricket-ipl.co.za
