Redspin Sports looks at the connections between the U.S. sports industry & the political, social & economic forces that sustain U.S. imperialism, both at home and abroad.

We examine the history of activist athletes and this generation's reemergence of athlete activism, the history of American football through a critical class struggle lens, and the politics & labor dynamics that characterize the modern pro sports leagues. Highlighting the connections between billionaire team owners, the permanent war state, real estate gentrifiers and slum lords, private prisons, education privatization, police militarization & much more; all of which are critical to fully understanding the social and political forces that define our time.

Max Blumenthal & Garrett Ramirez of NYC Teachers for Choice on Mass Layoffs, Kyrie, Socialism & more

Max Blumenthal and Garrett Ramirez of NYC Teachers for Choice join Redspin Sports host & Jersey City public school teacher, Nate Wallace, to discuss the effects of mass layoffs of workers in NYC and beyond, and the increasingly hysterical discourse in response to news that Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving will not be allowed to play this NBA season.

Regardless of your thoughts on mandates, it's important to honestly assess what all this means for the working class in this country, and the future of people's struggles in an era when profound schisms within the working class on the issue of mandates and mass layoffs are starting to reveal themselves in a big way.
