Each issue of Global Sport Matters aims to share knowledge and focus its storytelling around a topic that makes an impact on sport and the world at large.
Progress vs. Power in Sport
In his 1996 book “In Black & White,” Global Sport Institute founding CEO Kenneth L. Shropshire wrote that “the selection of the right person for a position in sports, both on and off the field of play, is extraordinarily subjective.” That book prescribed reforms across levers of society to increase the representation of Black leaders in sport.
This issue continues Shropshire’s exploration, with a particular interest in how those in power have shaped progress when it comes to diversity, for better and worse.
