Kudos to member

Steve Morrison | ESPN Talent Producer | NYC-CT

on his work tackling some tough topics in the last week. Steve produced/coordinated every athlete of color this week regarding the Athlete Activism topic on Outside The Lines. Additionally, he was the only person of color working on a staff of 8 including the Sr. Coordinating Producer of E:60 Andy Teannant. It was a good team effort by his entire team and a great discussion. It helped him to see how impactful these shows really are and it was easily his most prized project of 2016.

Kudos to member
