Beyond the Game: Dr. Louis Moore on Race, Power, and the Black Athlete in America

Why are Black athletes celebrated on the field but sidelined in the broader conversation about equity? In this powerful episode of Moore to Consider, historian Dr. Louis Moore unpacks the complicated relationship between race and sports—from the rise of Black quarterbacks to the economic toll of integration on Black communities. We explore how athlete branding has evolved, why youth sports participation is changing, and what’s lost when the multi-sport athlete fades away. It’s a deep dive into the cultural, political, and economic forces shaping sports—and society—today.Guest: Dr. Louis Moorehttps://www.profloumoore.comThat’s a wrap! 🎙️ Thanks for tuning in to Moore to Consider!
