ESPN soccer analyst and standout former soccer pro, Shaka Hislop, joins Press Pause to talk about “Show Racism the Red Card,” the organization he co-founded in 1996 in the UK, and how it’s impacted his life and the lives of millions around the world. The England-born “proud Trinbagonian” made history as the starting goalkeeper on the Trinidad & Tobago national team’s first-ever World Cup match in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and was inducted into his country’s Sporting Hall of Fame. “Show Racism the Red Card,” for 27 years now, continues to use soccer to help tackle racism in sport and society. Hislop reflects on SRTRC’s genesis and its continued impact.
