Published 6 years, 4 months ago
Description
Throughout the last century, athletes like Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens and Colin Kaepernick have challenged the status quo and stood up to racism in their own unique ways. Today, the Black Lives Matter movement has sent shockwaves around the world after the murder of George Floyd. We look at how the last week has impacted the sports world, discuss the history of racism within sports, and finish by asking what role sports can play in helping fight racism. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts on this issue - we're always open to feedback.
