The black athlete is an iconic image of masculinity in America, and in many communities, black or otherwise, the men who find success at the highest levels of professional athletics are idolized. However, the space that these athletes inhabit is much more complex and perilous than the celebrity image of pro sports lets on. In fact, from the time that many of these men were children, they have had to build up a mindset to harden them against the inconceivable challenges that they need to go through to make it to the highest levels.
In this video, F.D examines what that process looks like and dives into some of the uglier parts of prep, collegiate, and pro sports to unearth what is happening off the court and away from the field for black male athletes.
