42. Dave Zirin on Colin Kaepernick, Megan Rapinoe, Eric Reid, and Steve Kerr

This generation is more diverse and less tolerant of intolerance than any generation in the history of the United States.

Author Dave Zirin’s new book The Kaepernick Effect: Taking a Knee, Changing the World is out this week.

In this conversation we talk:

• Did Jay-Z sell out when he partnered with the NFL

• The role of WNBA players in progressive movements

• The NBA response to the shooting of Jacob Blake

• Barack Obama squashing the NBA players strike

• Steve Kerr’s advice to let the youth lead

• Megan Rapinoe on the role of white people in activism: If someone is getting arrested, you should too.

• Eric Reid asking himself, “Am I living how Christ would want me to live?”
