From Theory to Action

In this debut episode of Breaking the Silence: Black Athletes and Advocacy, host Chance Cobb explores what happens when athletes move beyond the game and into the fight for racial justice. Through the lens of Critical Race Theory, Symbolic Interactionism, and Oppositional Consciousness, we unpack the deeper forces behind protest moments like Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem. Featuring expert insights from Dr. Simone Durham and Dr. Aldon Morris, this episode connects theory to action—and reveals how athletes are reshaping the meaning of resistance.
