- Foreword / by Martellus Bennett -- Introduction -- The sit-down/On fear -- Roots -- The NCAA will give you PTSD -- Sports are NOT integrated -- Soap opera for men -- Brotherhood -- Without food, your ass is going to die -- "N----r" -- Time out: a moment of silence -- Black Lives Matter -- Intersectionality also matters -- Our daughters and the power of women -- Athletes for impact -- You have to forgive to grow -- Afterword: Get comfortable.
- Bennett adds his voice to discussions of racism and police violence, Black athletes and their relationship to powerful institutions like the NCAA and the NFL, the role of protest in history, and the responsibilities of athletes as role models to speak out against injustice. Following in the footsteps of activist-athletes from Muhammad Ali to Colin Kaepernick, Bennett demonstrates his outspoken leadership both on and off the field. --From publisher description.
