Unsportsmanlike Conduct: College Football and the Politics of Rape by Jessica Luther
4.0
I'm die-hard Packers fan, but the stories of violence against women in both the NFL and college football are making it harder for me to justify giving my money and attention to football and the NCAA. Luckily, Luther is a fan herself and knows the struggle.
This book does a great job at widening the story from just looking at the accused. She looks at the structures - universities, the NCAA, the media and American culture - that allow rape culture to flourish in football programs. She also provides a few concrete solutions to combat these forces.
If you were disappointed in Missoula not dealing with the larger issues dealing with football and rape, this is a good book to read.
