Description:... "While critics of professional sports have traditionally highlighted brutality and lack of integrity and equity as major threats to the legitimacy of professional athletic competitions, their perspective on the general trends and specific transformations relating to these topics has consistently produced biased analyses and partial views. This book attempts to provide a more comprehensive approach on some of the most pressing social issues affecting Big Time sports by presenting the evolution of these issues across time and the current trends regarding each critical topic."--introduction.
