This book offers a clear and well structured rationale for the need to study sport from a sociological perspective and draws specific attention to the call for a critical examination of the 'dark side' of sports....Fair and Foul offers an excellent, broad introduction to many of the paradoxes evident in American sport and, in so doing, encourages the reader to challenge a number of basic preconceptions held about sport in modern western societies. It goes a long way in encouraging readers/students to think critically about an industry that is often passed off as 'just a game'.
