BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Michael Holding: Can sport win its fight against racism?

A cricketing great on his stand against racism and his support for taking the knee

Michael Holding was a fast bowler in the great West Indies cricket teams of the 1970s and 80s. He's now a leading commentator, and a prominent voice in the fight against racism.

HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Michael Holding, the former West Indies cricket great who is now a prominent voice confronting racism. In England, there’s a fierce debate about how best to root out racism, following vile abuse aimed at black footballers. But it’s an issue confronting many sports. Is this a fight sport can win?
