A veteran sportswriter interviews high school athletes, college athletes, pro athletes and others involved in the nationwide movement to "take a knee" in response to police brutality.
What The Reviewers Say
An insightful book about the wide-reaching effects of Kaepernick's protests. This book is highly recommended and is necessary reading for all, especially those who want to make a difference in promoting social justice, equity, and inclusion, and end police brutality..
Zirin gives ample space for each of the many athletes profiled here to detail the thinking behind their actions. The result is a thoughtful take on what remains a complicated, highly charged issue..
... an enthralling look at the impact of peaceful protest by sports figures at the high school, college, and professional levels.
... more in the way of vivid character sketches than anything driven by a governing thesis.
