Bad Sports: How Owners Are Ruining the Games We Love Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you are a sports fan, or a progressive, you can't let this book get by you.

Heroines of Sport: The Politics of Difference and Identity Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There are surprisingly few books on women (and queer people) in sport, and of the few I found, this was the one most appropriate for introducing the topic to undergraduate students who are not specifically studying sports sociology.
