Summary

-- Against Football ? Does our addiction to football foster a tolerance for violence, greed, racism, and homophobia? ? What does it mean that our society has transmuted the intuitive physical joys of childhood?run, leap, throw, tackle?into a billion-dollar industry? ? How did a sport that causes brain damage become such an important emblem for our institutions of higher learning? There has never been a book that exposes the dark underside of America?s favorite game with such searing candor. From the Hardcover edition
