Raleigh station “99.9 The Fan” will continue its “Fan Town Hall” series with the topic “Do today’s African-American athletes bear any responsibility to commenting on today’s social issues?” WRAL-TV anchor/reporter Gerald Owens will moderate the discussion, and the seven panelists will discuss this provocative question Tuesday night at 7 p.m. for one hour. The panel will include a variety of sports luminaries.
Moderator Gerald Owens says, “As fans we cherish, even worship, our favorite athletes on the court or on the field. Rarely do we hear their personal beliefs on the big social issues facing our society. This forum will allow us to discuss that.”
The event will air with live video and audio on WRAL-2, 99.9 The Fan, WRALsportsfan.com, and the WRALsportsfan app. Access will also be available via Roku, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV with the new WRAL App.
