What does it mean to be a Muslim (looking) sporting subject caught within regimes of state surveillance? The post-9/11 age of terror has produced such affective and affected subjectivities that ostensibly “create fear but also feel the fear they create” (Puar, 2007). Such surveillance affects are also navigated by Muslim-looking people in the realm of sport and physical activity. Reflecting on my own experience of being carded while participating in a weekend sporting event, I explore the relationship between prevailing understandings of radicalization and Muslim subjectivities. I am interested in illuminating how everyday resonances of grief, anxiety, and vigilance are negotiated, concealed, and exposed through sporting endeavours. Furthermore, I will show how popular perceptions of radicalization dilute these complex experiences through the continued representation of brown people of colour as inherently “risky”. By investigating connections between sport and radicalization through post-colonial theories of affect, I hope to help us shape alternative and transformative understandings about brown people of colour as they navigate an increasingly hostile West.
