Jake Jamison ，

Really good。 Less a general history of sports and more US history viewed through the lens of sports。 Your dad is gonna love it。

The 1960s were a period of division and turmoil。 In the 1970s sports fan participation increased and divisions were a product of the devotion of the fans for their particular team。 After all， the most important people in sports are the fans and fan zeal increased during the 1970s。 TV contracts increased team revenue， marketing and athlete salaries and this book tells us how it happened。

John Schorg ，

It makes sense to write about sports in the 1970s， since the scope of change was immense。 Thank goodness it was done by a writer who understands that change comes in all forms， from football and baseball and basketball to junky stuff like The Superstars。 An exemplary work， especially for someone who came of age in that era。
