Kevin Merida Discusses 'The Undefeated'

He gives a very vague launch date.

Kevin Merida, who left The Washington Post to join ESPN’s yet-to-launch The Undefeated, spoke with NPR about the site and it’s well worth a read/listen. Below are some of our favorite quotes.

On why he left WaPo:

On why The Undefeated is necessary:

…Athletes occupy such a great place in our imagination.
