Super Bowl Champion and three-time Pro Bowler Michael Bennett is an
outspoken proponent for social justice and a man without a censor.
Michael Bennett is a
Super Bowl Champion, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, a fearless
activist, a feminist, an organizer, and a change maker. He's also one
of the most humorous athletes on the planet, and he wants to make you
uncomfortable. Bennett adds his voice to discussions of racism and
police violence, Black athletes and their relationship to powerful
institutions like the NCAA and the NFL, the role of protest in
history, and the responsibilities of athletes as role models to speak
out against injustice. Following in the footsteps of
activist-athletes from Muhammad Ali to Colin Kaepernick, Bennett
demonstrates his outspoken leadership both on and off the field.
Written with award-winning sportswriter and author Dave Zirin, Things
That Make White People Uncomfortable is a sports book for young
people who want to make a difference, a memoir, and a book as
hilarious and engaging as it is illuminating.
