"A damning indictment of all that is corrupting sports and a song of praise for athletes standing up for human rights and decency." -- Kirkus "In his enlightening essay collection, Nation columnist and author Zirin ( Welcome to the Terrordome ) employs common sense and research to show that politics and sports are entangled, whether it's members of the Green Bay Packers supporting the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin's public workers or the Phoenix Suns donning 'Los Suns' uniforms to protest Arizona's controversial, immigrant-obsessed law, SB 1070. . . . Zirin steadfastly demonstrates how the games we watch are not just an escape from the everyday: they are a reflection that provides a perfect opportunity for protest and change." -- Publishers Weekly, A damning indictment of all that is corrupting sports and a song of praise for athletes standing up for human rights and decency." — Kirkus In his enlightening essay collection, Nation columnist and author Zirin ( Welcome to the Terrordome ) employs common sense and research to show that politics and sports are entangled, whether it's members of the Green Bay Packers supporting the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin's public workers or the Phoenix Suns donning ‘Los Suns' uniforms to protest Arizona's controversial, immigrant-obsessed law, SB 1070. . . .

Synopsis
"Enlightening" essays on athletes, activism, and the important role sports plays in our society ( Publishers Weekly ). Sportscaster Howard Cosell dubbed it "rule number one of the jockocracy" sports and politics just don't mix. But in truth, some of our most important debates about class, race, religion, sex, and the raw quest for political power are played out both on and off the field. From the NFL lockout and the role of soccer in the Arab Spring to the Penn State sexual abuse scandals and Tim Tebow's on-field genuflections, this timely and hard-hitting new book from the "conscience of American sports writing" offers new insights and analysis of headline-grabbing sports controversies ( The Washington Post ). It explores the shady side of the NCAA; the explosive 2011 MLB All-Star Game; and why the Dodgers crashed and burned. It covers the fascinating struggles of gay and lesbian athletes to gain acceptance, female athletes to be more than sex symbols, and athletes everywhere to assert their collective bargaining rights as union members. Dave Zirin also illustrates the ways that athletes are once again using their exalted platforms to speak out and reclaim sports from the corporate interests that have taken it hostage. In Game Over , he cheers the victories--but also reflects on how far we have yet to go.
