The conversation concerning whether activism has a place in sports is a frequent topic in the media. Conservative TV personalities like Laura Ingraham have made derisive statements like “Shut Up and Dribble” about modern day athletes, claiming that they lack the credentials to speak out on socio-political topics. Activism in sports however is not a new occurrence, which tends to be left out of the discourse. In today’s episode, we will cite major historical examples of social justice demonstrations in the sports world. Helping us do so is returning guest Olivia Gordon. 

Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn.
