This Is Not a Game

Maria and Julio get into how race and activism show up in sports - historically and in the current Black Lives Matter movement - with\\xa0Howard Bryant, a senior writer for ESPN and correspondent for NPR\\u2019s Weekend Edition. They talk about Bryant\\u2019s recent book,\\xa0Full Dissidence: Notes from an Uneven Playing Field, and the ways in which Black athletes, like Colin Kaepernick, have spoken up and been silenced in the movement for racial justice. ITT Staff Picks: - Sally Jenkins writes for\\xa0The Washington Post\\xa0about why Kaepernick took a knee and the NFL owners who ostracized him for doing so. - Nick Martin writes, "the NFL is no better than any of the other brands trying to seize the moment by throwing money at the issue in hopes of whitewashing their complicity" in this piece for\\xa0The New Republic. - Leonie Annor-Owiredu writes, "the Black Lives Matter movement isn\'t a trend to be commodified," in this piece for\\xa0Creative Review.
