Coming to TRNN: Dave Zirin takes us to the Edge of Sports – Everything Law and Order Blog

Sports and politics have always been intertwined. Sports are where joy and freedom, competition and cooperation, collide, where human beings exceed our physical and psychological limitations, where racial, gender, and class hierarchies can be smashed in society-changing ways. But sports are also the arena where jingoistic nationalism is forged, where militarism and state violence are glorified, where oppressive norms about race, gender, class, and ability are upheld and fortified, where bodies are broken and dreams are shattered for the sake of profit and entertainment. No one has probed the intersection of sports and politics in the US more thoroughly and passionately than Dave Zirin, and TRNN is proud to announce the launch of an all new weekly YouTube show: EDGE OF SPORTS with Dave Zirin.

Starting June 7th, tune in every Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET for new episodes of EDGE OF SPORTS with Dave Zirin, premiering right here on the TRNN YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to our channel, turn on notifications so you never miss a show, and get ready to bring the ruckus!

  1. Sports and politics shouldn't be mixed and people like Zirin and others need to keep politics out of the sports world. And those like him at ESPN are why ESPN has been in decline for a decade.

  2. Dave, this is great news and I expect the same professionalism as your articles and books. I'll be checking in and will share the news.

  3. Stop pretending like a men’s movement to invade women’s spaces has anything to do with civil rights, especially in sport, where sex differences directly impact safety. If that’s what your program will be promoting, I surely won’t be watching it. ☹️

  4. Sounds good. Perhaps you could address how Russian athletes are excluded, or if included, how they are grilled repeated by the hypocritical western media

  5. Sports and politics go back thousands of years. The Greek games and Roman Coliseum are 2 examples. And religion usually gets folded in there as well as with the Aztecs.
