"These accessible, illustrative essays—written by scholars of sport studies, American studies, and history—are stories about teams and times, voice and victories, pride and privilege. In sum, the book emphasizes the functional aspects of sports—the fact that through sports people feel connected to one another. Recommended."--Choice
"The book offers unexpected insight into how sports communities are used to shore up a mythologized American past."--Journal of Sport History
