After coaching football at nearly every level from high school to the NFL, John Shoop and his wife Reverend Marcia Mount Shoop have racked up a lifetime of observations and convictions about the ethics of sports.
When John was a young coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the couple became outraged at the lack of due process for football players embroiled in a 2010 NCAA investigation. John went on to coach football at Purdue University but lost his job after standing up for players鈥� rights and against racism. The Shoops are now looking at some of the complex ethical issues inherent in sports and society in the new podcast 鈥淕oing Deep: Sports in the 21st century.鈥�
Host Frank Stasio talks with John Shoop and Marcia Mount Shoop about some of the ethical questions they probe in the project, from using cannabis to allowing concussions. 鈥淕oing Deep鈥� was recorded and will be available at beginning Sept. 23.
