In The Players, David Zirin examines the ways in which sports have been shaped by social movements and the ways in which sports have shaped social movements.
From the Black Power movement to the fight for LGBTQ rights, from the labor movement to the anti-war movement, sports have played a central role in American history.
Zirin tells the stories of the athletes, activists, and fans who have used sports to challenge injustice and create a more just and equitable world.
The Players is a must-read for anyone who cares about sports, social justice, or American history.
