Don’t Stick to Sports: The American Athlete’s Fight Against Injustice

From the publisher:

A significant examination of how athletes have fought for inclusion and equality on and off the playing field, despite calls for them to “stick to sports.”

The claim that sports are—or ought to be—apolitical has itself never been an apolitical position. Rather, it is a veiled attempt to control which politics are acceptable in the athletic realm, a designation intricately linked to issues of race, gender, ethnicity and more.
