Reviews:
-Germane for all those interested in the domains of sport sociology and sport management and administration. [For] general readers, upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. —CHOICE
-In this original approach to sports, the author has compiled research examining the major controversies surrounding the whole enterprise, and discusses how these issues have pushed the ethical and legal envelopes of our society....Each chapter examines one of [several] areas in detail, presenting well-written opposing views and providing a brief history of the issue from its origin to the present....Discussion questions in each chapter facilitate use of the book as a classroom text. The comprehensive index, illustrations, and attractive layout will boost its appeal with teens. The wide range of interesting issues provides the reader with a different insight into the sports world's darker side. —VOYA
-Putnam's mastery of these topics is what makes this book a must read for teens participating in sports on an intramural and professional basis. —School Library Journal
