Introducing: Season 2 - Social Protest & Sports

How have social justice movements in sports evolved from John Carlos to Mohammad Ali to Colin Kaepernick and today’s athletes? Why are players, teams and leagues so divided on how to integrate social justice issues into sports?  Is social protest in sports an effective and sustainable way to generate change?  The upcoming season of Here’s the Problem podcast sifts through these questions by examining the history of protest in sports and the influence of government and business and generates ideas about the propensity for change.

Here’s the problem...the world is a mess; but a mediator and political scientist think they have figured out a way to change the current disheartening trajectory of our society. Motivated by a shared passion for creating a positive change in the world and empowering others to rise as leaders, Matthew DeSantis and Kelly Nagle founded the Teen Think Tank Project, with the vision of giving a future generation of change agents a voice in the world they will inherit. In order to facilitate the goals of the Teen Think Tank Project and engage both our students and our listeners in thought-provoking conversations, we’ve created this podcast. Each week, thought leaders and experts will join Kelly to explore a specific problem facing our society. We will rely on fact-based information, listen to understand and challenge our own ingrained perspectives. Because at Here’s the Problem Podcast we believe that this is the only way to chart a course towards cooperation, empathy and ultimately effective change.
