Etan Thomas is More Than An Athlete. He’s been called a "gentle giant". A "rebounder with a cause". "The Poet". Thomas defies the stereotype of the apolitical athlete, and plants his roots in his budding literary career with the conviction of a Bill Russell, and poetic finesse of Muhammad Ali. Born in Harlem and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Thomas' childhood was surrounded by books on the civil rights movement, politics, and the 1960′s. He was greatly influenced by his mother and school teacher, Deborah Thomas.
In 2005 he released a collection of poems called More Than An Athlete; In January 2013 he released Voices Of The Future, a collection of poems and essays from young writers on topics such as Racism, Trayvon Martin, President Obama, Gun Violence, AIDS, etc. On May of 2012 he released Fatherhood (Rising To The Ultimate Challenge) and his writings have appeared in CNN, ESPN, The Washington Post, Huff Post, Hoopshype.com, and Slamonline, and he co-hosts the radio program "The Collision: Sports and Politics with Etan Thomas & Dave Zirin.

The Gaffer and Hooligan is back, as myself and Aaron Nielsen do a bonus episode this week.
We kick off the show in Segment 1 "The First Round" with myself and Aaron examining the U-20 Women's World Cup, looking more specifically at what should come of both it and the 2015 senior Women's World Cup long term.
We then transition into examining the trend in North American sports of teams mortgaging their future for a shot at a title. Using the NBA's ongoing trade saga involving Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love as an example, we discuss whether this would and should ever happen in Major League Soccer.
To end the show, in Segment 2 "Last Call" we talk about North American sports moving towards younger GM's and those with an analytical/statistical outlook before allowing Aaron to play the role of GM. Giving his take on what he'd do with the Montreal Impact.
Join us this week as we once again take you around the world of sports. From Andy Dalton's new deal, to Becky Hammon's historical hiring, to Cleveland & Minnesota's "handshake" Kevin Love deal, to Paul George's gruesome injury, we'll pack as much into 2 hours as we possibly can.
On top of all of that, the NFL preseason is here! We'll discuss the biggest stories from training camps around the league and as usual, we'll check in with our college football guru Fred Perdue for his ACC & SEC previews and predictions.
You don't wanna miss this one!
