The points made throughout the book were conveyed incredibly well, and it’s caused me to do exactly what the title suggests. Calcaterra, like many Americans—and perhaps sports fans around the world—was indoctrinated into a sports obsessed culture. This includes purchasing memorabilia, following team and league discourse, and devoting a great deal of time towards what ultimately serves as entertainment. However, in reflecting on the histories of sports, the businesses at play, and our associations with the sports, he plainly states that we may be taking things too far. An overall excellent book that leads to further discussion.
