Cari sits with sociologist and two-time New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ana Malaika Tubbs to talk about her books The Three Mothers and Erased, and why the stories of Black women, and especially Black mothers, keep getting left out on purpose. Tubbs shares how Alberta King, Bertice Baldwin, and Louise Little weren’t just “moms of” famous men; they were leaders themselves, and “all of them did what their sons later became famous for.” She explains patriarchy as a designed system, why propaganda makes people defensive about words like “patriarchy” and “feminism,” and offers practical ways to disrupt it: internal work, healthier relationships, community care, and voting. One line that sticks: “This system was not designed by you. It’s not for you. It’s hurting you, and it’s allowing you to hurt me.”

NAKED SPORTS lives at the intersection of sports, politics, and culture. It is a niche groundbreaking interview-based show that dives deep into the lives of the game-changers who have helped shape our world. We explore how sports are interwoven not only into their personal lives; but the role they play in the global experience.  NAKED SPORTS is hosted by Cari Champion, a trailblazing broadcast journalist and television personality renowned for her pioneering contributions to sports media for women.

In each episode, this distinguished host sits down with, a diverse array of athletes, politicians, and cultural innovators who have left an indelible mark on their fields. Through intimate, unfiltered conversations, the show reveals the raw and vulnerable sides of their journeys—peeling back the layers to explore the defining moments, personal struggles, and transformative experiences that live at the intersection of sports, culture, and politics.

These conversations are thematically linked to live at the intersection and on this new season of NAKED SPORTS, we begin with a six-part docu-series, The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese, in which Cari questions how this “rivalry” started. Does the necessity for success depend on a foil? In a time of divisiveness, are sports—more specifically the WNBA—a reflection of our country? Or will the greatness of two supernovas unite this country and heal race relations?

NAKED SPORTS guests will span varied backgrounds, providing diverse perspectives as we examine how sports play a crucial role in nearly every aspect of life.
