Author and commentator Dave Zirin gives his thoughts on sports talk radio, and examines the frequently rocky relationship between sports and politics.

—–

Dave Zirin discusses “Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports.”

Dave Zirin is at the crossroads of a sports culture that celebrates bling and the multi-million-dollar endorsements, and a political culture loathe to recognize, let alone help, the millions of Americans battling poverty and oppression.

This eagerly anticipated follow-up to Zirin’s “What’s My Name Fool’” grapples with this cultural contradiction. - Cody’s Books

Dave Zirin is the author of “What’s My Name, Fool’: Sports and Resistance in the United States.” He is a sports commentator for Air America and XM Radio’s ‘On the Real’ with Chuck D and Gia’na Garel.

Zirin’s writing has appeared in THE SOURCE, Common Dreams, The College Sporting News, basketball.com, alternet, The Black Sports Network, Counterpunch, Dodgers Dugout, sports-central.org, The San Fransisco Bay View, Z-Net, The International Socialist Review, War-Times, Z-Magazine and The Afro-American.

2007 MLB All-Star Game in San Francisco, CA on July, 10, 2007. Aaron Rowand flys out with the bases loaded to end the game

With just over a week left in the 2007 regular season the Mets were still up 3 games over the Phillies but things weren’t looking good. After the they lost to make their lead only 3 games I shook Pat’s hand and said that if the Mets lose the division I’m shavin my head. Unfortunately the Mets blew the division then tied it back up, but lost on the last day of the season.

It gets funnier when we really start to shave it off, lol
