On The Long Game, we highlight stories of courage and conviction on and off the field. Back for a second season, activist and Olympic medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad guides the series and examines the power of sport to change the world for the better. This season, look forward to stories about Rohingya refugees who play soccer in order to share their stories as genocide survivors, an interview with the WNBA Players Association president who’s fighting to bring US basketball player Brittney Griner home from Russian prison, and the stories of many more athletes who are fighting for change.
