After receiving backlash for allowing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to promote a college sports senate bill on “College GameDay” on Saturday, ESPN will feature one of the bill’s most vocal opponents on its airwaves Tuesday.

NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson will appear on the 6 p.m. ET edition of “SportsCenter.” The move comes after the NAACP posted in response to Cruz’s appearance Saturday, “We’d love to have (Johnson) join you in his home state of (Mississippi) next week to express why the Protect College Sports Act is dangerous to Black Athletes and the Black community.”
