From executive producers Tom Brady, Michael Strahan and Gotham Chopra, the streaming launch of Religion of Sports shows you an inside look at one of the most dangerous motorcycle races in the world, the Isle of Man TT.
Every year, thousands put their lives on the line to compete in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, in the hopes of earning the top spot. They reflect on what draws them to this race and why, despite the many deaths that have occurred at the hands of the race, why they continue to enter the race.

RIP Dan Kneen. I still remember them red flagging practice that night, and getting a text from my marshal friend who knew Dan, simply saying "Dan's gone, mate." The amount of respect shown on in the following hours and days was staggering.

When I was a young man I always thought I would go out in a blaze of glory and live a short life; now I am old and have thought over and over again to myself; I wouldn't hurt this much if I had treated myself better when I was a young man. Now that I have made it to this old age when I can barley function, as a man, I wish I had used my head and done what was reasonable and still have fun doing it, all through life so that I could have finished my course, with less pain. But this is just hind sight looking back, for what I did when I was younger won me no acclaim, rewards, or respect at all, but it was fun at the time. Now I have fun just being able to go for a ride, for 200-300 miles and go home every night. Now I ride for the real fun of it. I cruse the roads of Arkansas on my 2005 Harley Heritage and count it a real blessing to even be out there on the roads, at ll, just being thankful that I still can after all these years. Just turned 65 and still riding and will ride till I can't hold that bike up anymore.
