About this ebook
• Matt Hern tackles the issues of sports from a much needed left perspective. Sports are the most significant uniting force in our culture, yet the Left has thus far shied away from engaging in this vital platform.
• This book tackles the fundamental aspects that draws us to sports. Specifically the most authentic experiences we gain as athletes and fans.
• High art and sports are not dissimilar, and Matt Hern shows us how the only differences fall along class and cultural lines.
• Matt Hern asks us why struggle, pain and hardship hold a paramount sense of authenticity culturally. What is it about playing and watching sports that seems to engage us on a universal human level?
• This book speaks not only to sports fans, but specifically to non-sports fans illustrating the importance of engaging as both an observer and a participant in the world’s greatest pass time.
