ESPN Senior Writer Stokes Race Issues in New Book
12th February 2020
Radical ESPN Senior Writer Howard Bryant has released another book of political essays indicting American sports as overtly political, one where African Americans must navigate a sharp edge of whiteness. Released late last month, Full Dissidence: Notes From An Uneven Playing Field follows Bryant’s 2019 book, The Heritage: Black Athletes, a Divided America, and the Politics of Patriotism, by a year.
Not surprisingly, Bryant’s latest race-baiting condemnation of American sports is attracting attention from media who speak his left-wing language. NPR, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and The Nation magazine all gave the book fawning attention.
