POWER, POLITICS & AMERICAN SPORTS

Documentary: “Not Just a Game”

Sports and Politics Don’t Mix!  Dave Zirin, whom Howard Zinn called “Most Valuable Sportswriter,” exposes, with this remarkable documentary film, the politics (militarism, racism, sexism, homophobia) actually dominating so much of sports – and highlights rebel athletes who have stood up for social justice. 

Zirin will be present for the discussion that follows.
