Important sporting figures and case studies discussed include: The sanctification of baseball player Jackie Robinson the domestication of Muhammad Ali and George Foreman Religious expressions of athletes in the NFL Treatment of African American tennis player Serena Williams Colin Kaepernick and his prophetic voice.
