About Bradford
I’m a reporter and cultural critic, currently working as a columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. I’ve reported from crime scenes, locker rooms, restaurants, city halls, and celebrity gatherings across the United States. While my stories regularly expose misdeeds, my writing is imbued with levity, wit, and an underlying hope that better things are possible through honest storytelling.
My favorite work interrogates how sports manifest, reinforce, and disrupt cultural and societal trends. That said, I don’t stick to sports—which you’ll probably figure out by scrolling…two inches down. Instead, with an eye toward race, labor, health, and culture, I routinely stretch well beyond through influential investigations, gripping features, and incisive commentary.
You’ve read me at GQ, Slate, New York Daily News, Business Insider, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, Defector, and Front Office Sports. You’ve seen me on CNN, The History Channel, SNY, Cheddar, Fox 5 NY, and Inside Texas Politics, or maybe in person, hosting an emerging author’s book launch.
