When Race, Religion, and Sport Collide tells the story of Brandon
Davies' dismissal from Brigham Young University's NCAA playoff
basketball team to illustrate the thorny intersection of religion,
race, and sport at BYU and beyond. Author Darron T. Smith analyzes
the athletes dismissed through BYU's honor code violations and
suggests that they are disproportionately African American, which
has troubling implications. He ties these dismissals to the
complicated history of negative views towards African Americans in
the LDS faith. These honor code dismissals elucidate the challenges
facing black athletes at predominantly white institutions. Weaving
together the history of the black athlete in America and the
experience of blackness in Mormon theology, When Race, Religion,
and Sport Collide offers a timely and powerful analysis of the
challenges facing African American athletes in the NCAA today.
