Former Texas Longhorns linebacker Emmanuel Acho is getting his own solo show on Fox Sports, Front Office Sports reports.
From Front Office Sports: “The ex-NFL linebacker currently co-hosts FS1’s “Speak for Yourself” with Marcellus Wiley. It hasn’t been decided whether Acho will host “SFY” on his own or get a new program as part of a revamp of FS1’s weekday studio show lineup. Fox declined comment. On his own, Acho also created the popular video series, “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,” which seeks to educate people on social justice issues. Among his high-profile guests was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who used the platform to express his regrets about how the league handled the Colin Kaepernick-inspired player protests for racial justice. The series has attracted over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube.”
