About the Author
Dave Zirin is a pioneering sports journalist and author whose incisive writings bridge the worlds of athletics and social justice, challenging the notion that sports exist in a political vacuum. As the sports editor for The Nation, he has spent over two decades exposing the intersections of race, class, gender, and power in American sports culture, earning acclaim for his bold voice and unwavering commitment to amplifying marginalized stories. Zirin's work draws from a deep well of historical research and on-the-ground reporting, making complex issues accessible and urgent. His books, including the groundbreaking People's History of Sports in the United States: 250 Years of Politics, Protest, People, and Play (New Press People's History) and the adapted Things That Make White People Uncomfortable (Adapted for Young Adults), have influenced a new generation of thinkers and activists, proving that sports are a vital arena for societal change.
