NY Times bestselling author and MSNBC Sports Columnist Dave Zirin takes audiences inside the modern world of sports for a provocative look at the interplay between politics, culture, and the games we love.

Named one of UTNE Reader’s “50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Our World”, Zirin is The Nation’s first-ever sports writer. Referred to as the “conscience of American sportswriting” by The Washington Post, he co-hosts the popular radio program, “The Collision: Where Sports and Politics Collide.”

He is also the author of multiple books including, "Brazil’s Dance with the Devil: The World Cup, The Olympics, and the Fight for Democracy", and "The Kaepernick Effect".

He is also MSNBC Sports Columnist and a sought-after TV and radio commentator, featured frequently on NBC and ESPN. Zirin was also featured in “The Best of American Sports Writing 2017” for his writing in The Nation.

From class, race, and sex to religion and society, Zirin brings his unique point of view on sports and politics to the stage, revealing how on-the-field play shapes and reflects what is happening off-the-field in America and around the world.
