A former world #4 tennis player, he defeated the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi. He won 10 title on the APT tour and was a member of the 2007 Davis Cup winning American team. He also won the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award. Today Blake is a awesome&amp;nbsp;activist. In the age of athletes keeping quiet so a not to rock the boat, Blake capsizes the whole thing. He is an outspoken liberal voice in the extremely conservative world of professional tennis and he joins us to talk about the racism he faced on tour, the pros and cons of speaking out, and why today's American tennis players tend to be Trump supporters.  ____________________________________________________________________ RESISTANCE RADIO - the weekly podcast where we get all up in American politics while still making it funny.
