Saroya will take you right off the sidelines and onto the field of play, where you’ll sweat alongside the athletes who put it all on the line. You’ll explore the true stories behind today’s persistent stream of social justice actions in sport and envision where it's all going next. From Shut Up and Play co-founder and NFL linebacker David Meggyesy dodging the pre-game anthem in 1968, to Gwen Berry’s probation and all points in between, we ask outspoken athletes what they’ve gained - and what they’ve lost. Saroya also digs deep with social justice champions to understand what’s happening, and with decision-makers at the helm of sport’s corporate power structure on what the future holds for athlete activists and the business of sport. It’s always interesting, sometimes uncomfortable, and definitely not your grandpa’s “sports show”.

This episode also contains powerful conversations with Tod Leiweke of the Seattle Kraken, Jonathan Greenberg of the University of San Francisco Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, and Dr Amira Rose Davis from Penn State University and the podcast "Burn It All Down."
