Reviews"Michael Bennett is one of the most outspoken and progressive voices in the NFL." -- The Root 100, 2017, "In a social media age where professional athletes are regularly criticized by anyone with a twitter account, Michael Bennett has the courage to stand up for what he believes despite the possibility of losing fans, support or endorsements. Whether it's speaking on police brutality, systemic racism, Black Lives Matter, or human rights for Palestinian people he doesn't hesitate to lend his voice. This book is a live wire. It's electric." --Etan Thomas, 10 Year NBA Veteran, author of We Matter: Athletes and Activism, "There is a revolution underway inside professional sports and Michael Bennett is at ground zero. In this revelatory book, he puts everything on the line to share the reasons, strategy, pain and deep thought behind this historic uprising. And he invites us into a vision of justice and liberation that is simply irresistible. This book is pure fire." --Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough, "This book is a courageous and compassionate story of a great athlete and grand human being full of deep care for his fellow citizens! Don't miss it!" --Cornel West, "There is a tradition of athletes who understand that sports is a way to reach people and change the world. I am proud and humbled to be recognized as part of that tradition. I believe that Michael Bennett's name deserves mention alongside the best of us. This book doesn't only explain the roots of Michael Bennett's courage. It will inspire the people who read it to conquer their fears and fight for what's right." -John Carlos, 1968 Olympic medalist, "Michael Bennett is one of the most outspoken and progressive voices in the NFL." --The Root 100, 2017, "It would be easy for Michael Bennett to remain silent, to play in the NFL and make his mark through accomplishments on the field. Instead Michael has chosen to use his voice and his platform to fight injustice." --Senator Bernie Sanders
