Description

Morgan Campbell, a freelance sports writer, joins Raju Mudhar to discuss the new world of sports activism, and how the business of sport is responding. “Stick to sports” has been the catch phrase whenever people got uncomfortable or disagreed with what a prominent athlete had to say on an issue. It’s also an outdated idea, as athletes and sports have long been a part of social change. That has never been more evident than right now, as even some of the most apolitical athletes are speaking out in support of the protests against police brutality in the United States.
