Not really a cause most here can get behind.

The cause of funding grifters who have no real plan to do anything other than enrich themselves. Why aren't more people supporting it?

The last time I tried to listen to Parkins it seemed like 24 hours. In real time it was about 6 minutes.

"Athletes For Justice" website is very vague about their mission. Do they support any radical groups? How many ¢ on the dollar donation will go to the new grocery store, or overall?

When Mike North did the 24-hour radio thing it was classic great radio.

It's like clockwork

I had it on during the intro. When Sam Acho described the genesis of this project and the athletes involved, my first thought was why haven’t they just cut a check and gotten this done? Why put it in the hands of AM radio listeners?

I’m not sure what type of structure they’re looking for, but I imagine the construction costs would be a drop in the bucket for a group that includes guys like Jason Heyward.

It's a noble cause and I applaud Parko's effort but I won't be listening to any of it. He basically said on yesterday's show that there would be no sports talk. So it's a heavy podcast day for me.

Building a store isn't a problem. Or a solution to why there isn't a store in the first place.

Austin isn't a food desert

When they say that it generally means major grocery stores and supermarkets. Sure there are convenience stores all over, but that's not exactly the healthiest or best place to be buying cart loads of groceries.

But whether it is or not, it’s a project Acho’s group believes will add value and one he says the kids they spoke with desired.

I’m not sure what type of store they’re envisioning - I thought the description seemed more a permanent farmer’s market type building than a supermarket - but I’d think the backers could put some urgency behind it at a fairly modest cost.

Good for Parkins.

Seems like a good cause.

Millionaire athletes asking for money? Heywards made 120+ mil. last 6 years. Sell a couple yachts and donate it.
