Показать описание
The Kaepernick Effect by Dave Zirin is a book about the politics of sport, and the impact of sports on politics. It is for anyone seeking to understand an essential dimension of the new movement for racial justice in America.

Critically acclaimed sports journalist and author of A People's History of Sports in the United States, Dave Zirin chronicles "the Kaepernick effect" for the first time, through interviews with a broad cross-section of professional athletes across many different sports, college stars and high-powered athletic directors, and high school athletes and coaches. In each case, he uncovers the fascinating explanations and motivations behind a mass political movement in sports, through deeply personal and inspiring accounts of risk-taking, activism, and courage both on and off the field.
