How Football Explains America,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Using some of the most prominent voices in pro sports and cultural and media criticism, How Football Explains America is a fascinating, firstofitskind journey through the making of America's most complex, intriguing, and popular game. ESPNs Sal Paolantonios explores just how crucial football is to understanding the American psyche. Interspersed with memorable images from the climax of Super Bowl XLII, Paolantonio tackles varying American themes from Manifest Destiny to fourth and one as he goes deep in order to answer the ageold question Why does America love football so much? An unabashedly celebratory explanation of Americas love affair with the game and the men who make it possible, this work sheds light on topics such as how the pioneers and cowboys helped create a game that resembled their march across the continent, why rugby and soccer don't excite the American male like football does, how rule changes are continually made to enhance the dramatic action and create a better narrative, the eternal appeal of the heroic quarterback position, the military lineage from General Douglas MacArthur to the New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini, and how the burgeoning medium of television identified and exploited the NFLs great characters. It is a must read for anyone interested in more fully understanding not only the game but also the nation in which it thrives.
