Ep 36: The Politics of Inclusion - Featuring Khalen Saunders
On this week's filibuster, Jemele dives into NBA player Malk Beasley being under federal investigation as part of gambling probe and how the sports leagues alliance with the gambling industry is creating an atmosphere for players to indulge in sports betting. Jemele is then joined by New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, who recently made national news for announcing that his annual football camp is inclusive of LGBTQ+ youth. Saunders discusses why it was vital for him to let the homosexual community know they were welcomed, and how he withstood the criticism. Khalen also shares how his brother, Kameron, who is male lover, inspired him and what he learned from watching his brother navigate being as a Ebony gay man. In the Final Spin, Jemele provides some much-needed to context as to why superstar Caitlin Clark finished ninth among guards in the WNBA players’ All-Star voting.

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders is all about inclusion, and that's why he's hosting his have LGBTQ-friendly youth football camp. Saunders made the announcement during the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards on March 27, and he further spoke about it on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football."
"My target [is] to proceed to spread positive energy around that because football is for everybody," he said on the present, according to People. "Football is for all."
Saunders, 28, is the brother of Kameron Saunders, one of Taylor Swift's back-up dancers. Kameron is a member of the LGBTQ people, and Khalen said he's a haughty partner of GLAAD.
"Being an ally is more than just saying I help, but it's also showing up," Saunders said. "Being in the NFL is very male-dominant and heterosexual dominant and it feels as though there's not really a territory for the LGBTQ community."
Khalen said he plans on hosting the camp in the summer. Former Dallas Cowboys defensive end RK Russell, who came out as bisexual in 2019, is co-hosting the camp alongside Saunders.
"These are people who feel fancy they have to be hidden," Saunders said, "although they might love the sport, they mig
Two Time Super Bowl Winner Holds LGBTQ+ Friendly Youth Football Camp
I first met Khalen Saunders at the 2019 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Khalen, who goes by the nickname Bink, was a standout player from Western Illinois. In many ways Khalen, coming from such a little school, beat the odds by just getting selected for the postseason all-star game. However, he would go on to fulfill so much more.
Back in 2019, Saunders competed admirably against the nation’s best players. At the same time he had to make the difficult choice to stay in Mobile and not be with his fiancé Ayanna when she gave birth to their daughter Kambridge. It was a smart decision and his hard work paid off as a couple months later, Saunders was selected in the third round of the NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs and would go on to win two Super Bowls.
Today in Saint Louis, Khalen and his brother Kameron held a youth football camp and made it a point of emphasis to be inclusive of LGBTQ+ kids.

What is the purpose of naming it LGBTQ camp? Once again highlighting peoples differences in the name of unity. You make others feel accepted by going here's your flag or here's your pads let's go i.e. treating everyone the same.TigerPaw said:
Double down. Good grief. His brother is lgbtq+. He knows what it was like for him growing up. He is doing a nice thing. To make others perceive accepted. Not discuss sex acts. My god. Fancy you could never include a gay son or daughter. Or straight - with enough maturity and empathy to befriend one.

It's a political agenda and has nothing to do with youth football camp. Just coach football and be done. It's not about empathy, if some kid gets bullied you control it like any other situation...you know like holding a kid down and shaving his head or pulling a kids pants off.
