Episode 15: When athletes become activists.

Jun 20

For this last episode of the season, we continue our conversation on sports, activism and politics. What does it look like when athletes, singers and entertainers we look up to in their field have an opinion on current affairs and politics, and become the activists we need and serve.

This activism can take many forms. From Marcus Rushford standing up for children without meals in the UK, To Taylor Swift voicing her opinion for the first time in the political landscape. From Jamela Jamil speaking up about body dysmorphia and the role of the beauty industry to Lewis Hamilton wearing BLM t-shirts on the F1 podiums and most recently Naomi Osaka choosing her mental health above tennis. In doing so they have all become unlikely ambassadors outside of their profession.
