Story
The hardening of racial lines during the first half of the 20th century eliminated almost all African Americans from white organized sports, forcing black athletes to form their own teams, organizations, and events. This separate sporting culture, explored in the 12 essays included here, comprised much more than athletic competition; these “separate games” provided examples of black enterprise and black self-help and showed the importance of agency and the quest for racial uplift in a country fraught with racialist thinking and discrimination.

"Fans Who Love Too Much" shows the plight of men who, like the author, resort to psychotherapy to deal with their addiction. "Fans Who Misbehave" attempts to deconstruct otherwise solid citizens who, once they enter a stadium, spill beer on women. True Believers

Story
Appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs - specifically, anabolic steroids (APEDs) - provide a tempting competitive advantage for amateur baseball players. But this shortcut can exact a fatal cost on talented athletes. In his urgent book Suicide Squeeze, William Kashatus chronicles the experiences of Taylor Hooton and Rob Garibaldi, two promising high school baseball players who abused APEDs in the hopes of attracting professional scouts and Division I recruiters. However, as a result of their steroid abuse, they ended up taking their own lives.

Story
What happens when the stadium clears for the last time? You've built a career - a life - around your sport. But when the stadium clears and you hang up your jersey after your final game, what will your career be? Who will you be? In Shift, Jonathan Van Horn explores the truth behind the adage that athletes die twice, once when they stop competing and again when they stop breathing. Having experienced heartache, withdrawal, and identity loss when he transitioned to life beyond soccer, he understands the struggle and emotional toll of that first death.

Story
From Major League Baseball's inception in the 1880s through World War II, team owners enjoyed monopolistic control of the industry. Despite the players' desire to form a viable union, every attempt to do so failed. In the mid-1960s, star players Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale staged a joint holdout for multiyear contracts and much higher salaries. Their holdout quickly drew support from the public; for the first time, owners realized they could ill afford to alienate fans, their primary source of revenue.

Kann ein Spiel, das sich so offensichtlich gegen die Zivilisation stellt, einen philosophischen Gehalt haben? Dieser Frage geht der Sportphilosoph Gunter Gebauer nach, indem er das Fußballspiel ins Verhältnis zu anderen kulturellen Errungenschaften setzt. Aus verschiedenen Perspektiven nähert er sich so der Faszination, die das beliebteste aller Spiele über alle Grenzen hinweg auslöst. Ein Hörerlebnis mit vielen Originaltönen aus sechs Jahrzehnten Fußballgeschichte!
