Christiane Amanpour leads wide-ranging, in-depth conversations with global thought leaders and cultural influencers on the issues and trends impacting the world each day, from politics, business and technology to arts, science and sports.
The long-time voice of sports, ABC's iconic commentator Howard Cosell, dubbed it the first rule of "jockocracy" - sports and politics don't mix. The last thing a nation of couch potatoes wanted to see on their fields of dreams was a political hot potato. Sports, for most Americans, was the sacrosanct refuge where we went to get away from it all, to escape the tension and drama and conflict that colors daily life. But now many of our most important debates about class, race, religion, sex and the raw quest for political power are played out on the field. From the Pee Wee League to the Olympics, sports mirror our polarizing divisions with athletes becoming icons of the divisive debates razing the country's cultural touchstones. Common Ground's second show will examine Americans' perception of the appropriate social role of sports and why we demand that athletes become warrior avatars for our cultural civil wars. Guests: Dave Zirin, Jerry Brewer, Allyson Felix.
