One week before this year’s Super Bowl, William and Jazmyn sat in
William’s second Super Bowl came in 2002, when the Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The main story of that game was Bucs coach John Gruden, who at the time was only one year removed from his first stint as the Raiders’ head coach. But the other big story was about Barret Robbins, the Raiders offensive lineman who disappeared days before the game due to a mental health episode, and who reappeared the night before kickoff.
William grew up in the Bayview, and says he used to make the long walk to Candlestick with his grandfather. He attended George Washington High School on the other side of town before going on to SF State. There, he worked on campus managing media equipment for the school, equipment he’d often check out and use to hone his skills. He started his career as a photographer for the college paper,.
For college, she went to Howard University , majoring in sports management and minoring in public relations. She says she never felt any pressure to work in this industry, but naturally gravitated to doing radio, photography and film. Jazmyn says she’s one of a few locally based African American women who cover pro sports in the Bay, but she doesn’t notice any differential or discriminatory treatment. However, things do sometimes get chippy. “I got bumped in the middle of John Lynch’s interview after the game last week,” says Jazmyn.Looking out for his daughter in this industry is something he’s been thinking about for a long time.

Roku stock falls after report says it's losing Fox apps ahead of the Super BowlShares of Roku Inc. are off 4% in Friday morning trading after a Verge report discussed a carriage dispute between Fox Sports and the streaming company, which could mean Roku would pull Fox apps off its platform just before the Super Bowl. The Verge report quotes a statement from Roku saying that the company "offered Fox an extension" but would be "forced to remove the channels" if the companies don't strike an agreement. The stories also quotes a statement from Fox saying that Roku's response is a "poorly timed negotiating ploy, fabricating a crisis with no thought for the alarm it generated among its own customers." Roku didn't immediately respond to MarketWatch's request for comment. Shares of Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. , which purchased Fox Sports from Walt Disney Co. last year, are down 2%.
