The Business of Professional Sports Paperback / softback
Edited by Paul D Staudohar, James A Mangan
Part of the Sport and Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
Beyond the highly publicized heroics and foibles of players and teams, when the grandstands are empty and the scoreboards dark, there is a world of sport about which little is known by even the most ardent fan.
It is the business world of sport; it is characterized by a thirst for power and money, and its players are just as active as those on the professional teams they oversee.
In this collection, some of the best scholars in the field use examples from baseball, football, basketball, and hockey to illuminate the significant economic, legal, social, and historic aspects of the business of professional sports.
