June segments include:

· Matt Araiza: Matt Araiza was a rising star in the NFL, a rookie on the Buffalo Bills, and the rare punter whose highlights went viral. But just as the season was about to start, he was named in a graphic lawsuit accusing him of orchestrating a gang rape at a college party. Araiza was immediately cut from the Bills and swiftly tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. In December, the San Diego District Attorney declined to file any charges in the case and now, as Araiza is still without a job, evidence has emerged that questions what happened. Correspondent Andrea Kremer reports. Producer: Nick Dolin.

· Artistic Swimming: Artistic swimming (formerly known as synchronized swimming) has been reinvented for the extreme sports era with fast choreography, modern music, and high-flying acrobatics, but that push for relevance and respect may be coming at a terrible cost to the sport's athletes. "Real Sports" sits down with a number of former members of the US National Team who say the sport destroyed their mental health. Correspondent Soledad O'Brien reports. Producer: Maggie Burbank.

· The Hoyts (Update): Until his death last month, Boston Marathon icon Rick Hoyt, born without the ability to move or speak, competed in over a thousand road races, pushed by his father, Dick. Now that both men have passed away, "Real Sports" revisits the father-son duo's remarkable story and looks at the incredible legacy they've left behind. Correspondent Mary Carillo reports. Producers: Joe Perskie and Daniel Litke.

The executive producer of REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL is Joe Perskie.
