DESCRIPTION:Join Rose Aguilar, the host of KALW's "Your Call," for a special on-stage 
 discussion with noted author Dave Zirin, live at the Mission Cultural 
 Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA). Dave Zirin's commentaries challenge readers 
 to critically examine the intersections of sports and politics.\n\nThis is 
 Dave's only San Francisco appearance on this tour, and it's organized by 
 the Center for Political Education (CPE) and Solespace. Purchase tickets 
 at: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/376555.\n\nInformation and

 reach out to gay hockey players to baseball's recent commemoration of 
 Jackie Robinson, to the Boston Marathon bombing, Zirin helps us decode the 
 political messages and messaging embedded in sports. He will discuss his 
 most recent book, "Game Over: How Politics Has Turned the Sports World 
 Upside Down" (The New Press), which USA Today's Christine Brennan called 
 "the perfect book for our time in sports."\n\nZirin is co-author of the 
 NAACP Image Award-nominated "The John Carlos Story" (Haymarket Books, 
 September 2011.) In 2010, Zirin published "Bad Sports: How Owners are 
 Ruining the Games We Love" (Scribner). Zirin writes regularly for The 
 Nation, where he is sports editor, and his writing has appeared in the Los 
 Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated.com and The Progressive.\n\n---\n\nSince 
 2006, Rose Aguilar has hosted Your Call, a daily public affairs radio show 
 on San Francisco NPR-affiliate KALW 91.7. She is the author of Red 
 Highways: A Liberal's Journey into the Heartland, which documented a 
 six-month road trip she took to interview people about issues and voting 
 tendencies in the so-called "red states".\n\nIn addition, Aguilar has 
 written for AlterNet and Truthout, and offers political analysis for the 
 BBC.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/05/02/18736309.php
