Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

D. Stanley Eitzen continues to demystify the American sport system in this accessible book by combining a critical point of view with 'bottom-up' social activism...The structure of the book means that it can be read either in its entirety or in a more thematic way, and Eitzen skillfully deploys quotes from athletes, coaches, and reporters. The text should be useful for sensitizing students, coaches, athletes to the need for change, and will also appeal to people who are trying to resolve their love-hate relationship with sport.--Alexandre Dumas "International Review for the Sociology of Sport "

Reseña del editor:

This book moves beyond the myths and media hype to take a closer look at America's love of sport and how it so often comes in conflict with our most basic values. With reverence yet a sharp eye for the influence of big business, corruption, price gouging, political maneuvering, and media grandstanding, Eitzen portrays famous and lesser known events from professional and college sports, including well known coaches and players, to give us a deeper understanding of what sports means to us and how it affects our everyday world.
