Amid the controversy surrounding San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem, host Bryant Gumbel explores how the song became intertwined with American sports and how the tradition is not without its own questionable motivations.

Host Bryant Gumbel revisits with Philadelphia Eagles long-snapper Jon Dorenbos, who overcame a tragedy to become not only an NFL Pro Bowler but an accomplished magician who recently competed on "America's Got Talent."

In 2006, Donald Trump embarked on a mission to build one of the greatest luxury golf resorts in the world on the historic northeast coast of Scotland. The project sparked heated opposition from locals who believed the venture would spoil their pristine coastline.

Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel was awarded its second prestigious George F. Peabody Award.
