(UNLOCKED) Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Post-9/11 Islamophobia in the NBA (OffCourt ep7)
On an unlocked OffCourt ep7: How was one basketball player a template for the post-9/11 pro sports racism and political anxiety that's exploded over the last 20 years?
On a new OffCourt hosts Abdul Malik (@socialistraptor) and Eytan Tobin (@RabbiDieHardman) go over the life and legacy of Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings phenom Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, whose NBA career ended with the Vancouver Grizzlies in 2001 after being bounced out of the league for not standing for the national anthem and how it all ties into domestic terrorism of the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombings.
