Professor Thabiti Lewis came to the University of Kansas on October 24 and discussed his book Ballers of the New School. In his lecture he urged the audience to consider the role of race in the sweaty as well as the sweat-free zones of sport. He argues that American sport culture performs and propagates rituals, symbols and expressions of fear and difference that sustain racism and notions of racial supremacy. He explains the continuation of these symbols and notions blocks bridges to racial progress.
