内容简介

This work moves beyond the myths and media hype to take a look at America's love of sport and how it so often comes into conflict with their most basic values. With a sharp eye for the influence of big business, corruption, price gouging, political manoeuvring and media grandstanding, D. Stanley Eitzen portrays famous and lesser-known events from professional and college sports, including well-known coaches and players, to give a deeper understanding of what sport means to people and how it affects their daily lives.
