sports activism

Sports activism refers to the actions taken by athletes, teams, or organizations to promote social change and address societal issues, such as racism, inequality, and environmental concerns. Athletes use their platforms and influence to raise awareness, advocate for policy changes, and inspire fans to engage in social or political causes. This activism can take various forms, including peaceful protests, public statements, charitable work, or community engagement. While some support this activism as a powerful way to drive progress, others may argue athletes should focus solely on their sport. Ultimately, sports activism highlights the intersection of sports and societal issues.
