This book provides a rigorously researched introduction to the
relationship between Christianity, race, and sport in the United
States. Christianity, Race, and Sport examines how Protestant
Christianity and race have interacted, often to the detriment of
Black bodies, throughout the sporting world over the last century.
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. This accessible and conversational book is essential reading
for undergraduate students approaching religion and race or
religion and sport for the first time, as well as those working
within the sociology of sport, sport studies, history of sport, or
philosophy of sport.
