The Wexner Center for the Arts continues a series of innovative programs exploring the connections between sports and culture with "The Politics of Sports: A Conversation with the Nation’s Dave Zirin," supported by the Sports & Society Initiative.
In a discussion with Dave Filipi, the Wex’s Director of Film/Video, the award-winning author and sports editor for the Nation will touch on contemporary issues such as the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement and the often troubled marriage between higher education and big time athletics, and will also trace the historic intersection of sports and politics through the 20th century.
