Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 36 original essays on sports media and culture Sports are frequently romanticized as a pure escape from the daily grind, but in reality, the stadium is a mirror reflecting our most contentious cultural and political battles. How to Watch Sports disrupts the comfortable narrative of passive entertainment, presenting thirty-six original essays that challenge readers to critically engage with the global phenomenon of sports media. Moving beyond the highlights, this comprehensive volume utilizes case studies of iconic teams, athletes, and events to illuminate the unseen structures of the industry.
