Sports Columnist Jerry Brewer’s New ‘Grievance Games’: A Series of Essays on the Dangers of Divisive Politics in Sports

Sports columnist Jerry Brewer has been reflecting on the changing landscape of sports for years. Recently, he has grown disillusioned with the state of sports, particularly in how grievance politics have divided what used to be a unifying force. In his new series of essays titled “Grievance Games,” Brewer delves into the reasons behind this shift, focusing on how many of these grievances are racially charged.

In his first piece, Brewer explores how sports have become a battleground for various grievances. He argues that while sports once brought people together, they are now being used as a tool for division and political gain. By shining a light on these issues, Brewer hopes to spark a discussion and bring awareness to the challenges facing the sports world today.

Listeners can hear Brewer’s insights and analysis on this topic in the first part of the “Grievance Games” series on The Post Reports podcast. The subsequent essays in the series promise to provide further depth and exploration of the issues at hand.
