To say that athlete activism is a recent “hype” is a myopic way to look at sports history. Since ancient times, athletes and other people in influential positions have used their voices and platforms to advocate for social justice. The fact that that activism is experiencing resurgence now really just underscores the fact that there is a need for such movements. Josh Martin shares this view with Shea Dawson, Director of Athlete and Community Relations at Overtime. Having spent much of her sports career supporting and advocating for athletes behind the scenes, Shea takes pride in the fact that prominent names in the industry are choosing to take a stand for what is right. In this insightful conversation, we get a powerful message for these interesting times: whenever you’ve got whole teams and leagues against you, it’s got to be hard to say you’re in the right.

The Essence Of Athlete Activism With Shea Dawson

You’d be shocked to know that not that many Americans are knowledgeable about or have even read the Constitution. Far from just a mildly-interesting trivia, this is an alarming fact that may explain why we have historically allowed ourselves to be manipulated by whoever happens to occupy the seat in the White House. In this pivotal time in American history, it is important for us to go back to this incredible document and use it as our North Star in initiating movements that aim to make the nation a better place. Coming into the podcast to speak with Josh Martin about this is Pepperdine University associate professor, Alicia Jessop. A sports writer and attorney, Alicia possesses a wealth of information about the intricacies of the constitution and its history. In this episode, they tackle the subjects of executive orders, electoral colleges, the role of athletes in social change, and the continued relevance of the Constitution in these contemporary times.
