Abstract

Purists of sports tend to emphasize participation and performance. But not all sports coaches, participants, or fans are purists. The platform of sports has been used to draw attention to various social causes and to amplify social movements. Regardless of where one stands on the issue, sports protests such as this have occurred throughout the history of sports. They likely have their roots in the ancient Olympic Games.
