In his new book, "What's My Name, Fool? Sports & Resistance in the United States," the audacious Dave Zirin illustrates how sports express the worst - and at times the most creative, exciting, and political - features of our society. Drawing on original interviews and histories of a range of athletes, the book recounts the social impacts of those who charted new paths through their athletic abilities and outspoken views. In his talk, Dave will survey the ?level? playing fields of sports, and reveal hidden inequities that define the world around us. The author is a regular sports commentator on Air America Radio's "So What Else is News?" and produces a weekly syndicated column, Edge of Sports (www.EdgeofSports.com).
