Shattering the widespread misconception that sports and politics don’t mix, this film shows how professional sports have long been at the center of some of the major political struggles of our time. Celebrated sportswriter Dave Zirin takes us on a fascinating tour of the good, the bad, and the ugly of sports culture, tracing how sports have glamorized militarism, racism, sexism, and homophobia, then excavating a largely forgotten history of rebel athletes who stood up to power and fought for social justice beyond the field of play. The result is as deeply moving as it is exhilarating: nothing less than an alternative history of political struggle as seen through the games people have played. This is must viewing for political people who hate sports, and sports fans who hate politics.
