An award-winning journalist, popular podcast host, prolific author, and the first sports editor
in the history of The Nation, Dave Zirin was the first national reporter to cover professional
quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s act of protest during the national anthem. Dave regularly brings
his unique take on sports, race, gender, and politics to national television audiences. On the
cruise, he’ll share insights gleaned from locker rooms, grassy fields, and the front lines of protest;
he’ll discuss why the world of sports seems to be exploding with social activism and share his
influential theories on the fragile, toxic masculinity of Donald Trump and his racist base.DAVE ZIRIN
