A new season and the most prominent player out of work is still making the headlines... Colin Kaepernick remains the most-talked about NFL player on the planet, despite having not thrown a football since New Year's Day 2017... The American football quarter-back controversially protested against racial injustice and police brutality, by first sitting and then kneeling during the US national anthem. But now he is back in the headlines, after Nike announced Kaepernick as one of the new faces of their campaign... which has resulted in critics burning Nike trainers and clothing in protest. This support will take Kaepernick and his cause to an even higher level in the public realm, and yet also makes it more unlikely for any team to sign him. Nike, who described him as one of the most inspirational athletes of his generation, wasted no time in implementing their campaign - airing it during the NFL opener on Thursday Night. We ask, what is Nike’s real agenda? Will Colin Kaepernick play again? And what’s next? Badou Jack’s new fight away from the ring... Badou Jack is a Boxer, a former World Champion best known for his fights against the likes of George Groves and James DeGale. While he packs a punch in the ring, away from it the Swede is fighting a different kind of fight ... to help refugees in Syria and Palestine. And as India strikes a moment for gay rights - we ask what role sport can play in helping society... This week India's Supreme Court has ruled that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence. The ruling overturns a 2013 judgement that upheld a colonial-era law, known as section 377, under which gay sex is categorised as an "unnatural offence". The court has now ruled discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a fundamental violation of rights. Just some of the positive reaction to this week’s ruling … but how many Indian celebrities are now likely to share with the public the fact that they’re gay? And, in terms of Sport, is it even harder to make that announcement?

Why is homosexuality still illegal in the world's so-called largest democracy? In his celebrated family memoir 'And All is Said', historian Dr Zareer Masani made no bones about his own homosexuality and the problems it posed growing up in the India of the 1950s and '60s. Much seemed to have changed in the intervening half century. But with a renewed Hindu nationalism dominant in both political and cultural life, Zareer returns to Mumbai (formerly Bombay) to find out whether growing acceptance of gay rights is being put in reverse. Attempts were made in the recent past to overthrow an old colonial law making homosexuality a crime punishable by life imprisonment. The Delhi High Court held that this section of India's criminal law was unconstitutional; but that decision was overturned by India's Supreme Court two years ago. Zareer asks Justice Shah, who gave the earlier, landmark judgement decriminalising homosexuality, whether its liberal impact can really be reversed. He talks to the various gay and lesbian groups who are active in Mumbai, and to prominent, openly gay individuals like Mr Gay India 2014. Zareer returns to Bombay's elite Anglican school where he once suffered homophobic bullying. And he spends a day with the amazing Humsafar Trust, that provides everything from HIV treatment to counselling and legal advocacy for LGBT men and women outside Bombay's affluent, liberal middle class bubble. In his youth, Zareer found it impossible to live an openly gay life in the country of his birth. This programme is his journey back home to find out whether the liberalisation he's observed during his lifetime has now been halted by the moral policing of governments and religious extremists.
