DESCRIPTION:In 2016, amid an epidemic of police shootings of Black people, NFL 
 quarterback Colin Kaepernick began a series of protests on the field, 
 refusing to stand during the U.S. national anthem. By taking a knee, 
 Kaepernick’s simple act spread like wildfire throughout American society, 
 becoming a powerful symbol of resistance to the systemic racism in this 
 country.\n\nJoin us to discuss with author Dave Zirin about latest book The 
 Kaepernick Effect: Taking a Knee, Changing the World, as well as sports and 
 resistance in the recent period. Dave Zirin is the sports editor of The 
 Nation, a columnist for The Progressive, and the host of the Edge of Sports 
 podcast. His many other books include A People’s History of Sports in the 
 United States, Game Over, Bad Sports, and Welcome to the Terrordome: The 
 Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports.\n
