«What's My Name, Fool? Sports and Resistance in the United States» is Dave Zirin's essay on sports and resistance in the US, in paperback.
Dave Zirin analyzes how sports in the United States are both a reflection and a battleground of the country's social and political tensions. Drawing on historical episodes and interviews with athletes such as George Foreman, John Carlos, Etan Thomas, Toni Smith and Lee Evans, he shows athletes who turn their visibility into a tool of protest and resistance.
