Review # 1 was written on 2021-06-30 00:00:00 Clifford Ponish Novak evaluates sports from every possible vantage points. The chapter entitled "The Metaphysics of Sports" is the best I have read on the topic. Novak sees clearly how sports define the American psyche.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-09 00:00:00 Wanda Padasdao Having read the original version (not revised), which ends before the LA'84 Olympics, must say that even though it sounds a bit outdated it keeps addressing timeless aspects of sports which can be applied to yesterday, today and tomorrow, even in Europe, where I am from. Can't wait to get a cheap copy of the "revised" edition. Caveat: the book focuses on the football, baseball and basketball Holy Trinity of American sports. That said, it is mainly concentrated on baseball and football, not basketball. Don't be surprised if Kareem-Abdul Jabaar or Wilt Chamberlain appear as mere names, not main characters.
