A People's History of Sports in the United States: 250 Years of Politics, Protest, People, and Play by Dave Zirin

3.0

A good history of sports in the US. Zirin take the road less traveled by most sports writers as he analyzes the political, social and cultural implications sports most well-known and obscure figures and events have had for America. Great pieces on Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Pat Tillman, and Billie Jean King to name a few well-known figures. Better pieces on the lesser known events of the early 20th century football, the true origins of baseball, and more.
