Welcome to the Terrordome: Political Sportswriter Dave Zirin Speaking in Baltimore

The word "Terrordome" can't help but call forth memories of Hurricane Katrina. In 2005, when the Superdome took in its thousands of tragic residents, the world witnessed the gruesome collision of sports and politics as American citizens sat stranded in a sports arena where most could never have afforded even the cheapest ticket.

Dave Zirin lives there, 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. WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME: The Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports (Haymarket Books, June 2007), Zirin's eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2005's What's My Name Fool?, grapples with this cultural contradiction. Within these pages readers will encounter some of the most unique and astute sports-writing they've ever seen about complex social problems that rarely make it to the sports page. Zirin's on a mission, for as he argues, only "a politics of athletic protest that both looks to its proud history and amplifies the voices of our twenty-first-century sporting rebels will chart our way out of the Terrordome."

Come listen to Dave Zirin speak and enjoy political hip-hop artist Son of Nun!
