Book excerpt: Football is different from other sports. It is the most played, most watched and most talked about game in the world and appeals to all sections of society. Over the last 25 years, globalisation, pay-TV and the internet have dramatically broadened its reach. Football's growth shows no sign of slowing down. In the United States, football (soccer) has overtaken baseball and basketball as the most popular sport with youngsters. Over 200 countries, more than the membership of the United Nations, set out to qualify for this summer's World Cup in Brazil. When the tournament kicks off on June 12th, it will be the start of the most watched event in the history of our planet. Football stirs emotions and connects people across the globe. It binds communities and countries together and creates authentic moments in history. What is it about football that uniquely captures the imagination? And given its ever-growing popularity, is football still just a game or, given its sphere of influence, is it much more than that? "The football effect" celebrates football's power, its magnetic ability to bring people together and its role in society as a force for good.

Book excerpt: "Gregg Easterbrook is one of the country's best-known football commentators, having analyzed football on-air for ESPN and the NFL Network. MSNBC calls his ESPN blog "the best and most compelling football column anywhere." The King of Sports takes an expansive look at our biggest sport. Easterbrook explores these and many other topics: The real harm done by concussions (It's not to NFL players) The real way in which college football players are exploited (It's not by not being paid) The reason football helps American colleges to be great institutions (It's not bowl revenue.) The way football has aided the revival of American cities (It's not Super Bowl trophies) The hidden scandal of the NFL (You'll have to read the book) Using his year-long exclusive insider access to the Virginia Tech football program, where Frank Beamer has compiled the most victories of any active NFL or college head coach, Easterbrook shows how VT does things right. Then he reports on all the things wrong with football and moves to examples of how the sport can be reformed to keep it just as popular and exciting, but not as notorious. Rich with reporting details from interviews with current and former college and pro football players and coaches. The King of Sports promises to be the most provocative and best-read sports book of the year"--

This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After suffering concussions in high school and college, Dick struggled unknowingly with the onset of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) dementia. For decades, he fought the demons trapping him in an ever-shrinking world: diminished short-term memory, limited executive functioning, interpersonal shortcomings, paranoia, and failed physical capabilities. As an athlete, he was revered, yet success turned traitor as getting his ''bell rung'' in football led to a world of confusion and confinement. Nobody will remember a backup college quarterback, but Dick's story bridges the glamour of NFL football--its high-profile athletes and the preliminary $765 million settlement for CTE dementia--with the harsh reality that millions of former amateur players may be suffering anonymously with the same concussion-induced devastation of CTE dementia.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Kostya Kennedy sets this captivating, character-rich story against the back-drop of one of the most pressing questions in sports: Should we let our sons play football? At the high end of America's most popular game is the glittering NFL, a fan-stoked money machine and also an opaque enterprise under scrutiny for the physical dangers imposed on its players. Then there's high school football, unrivaled for the crucial life lessons it imparts-discipline, leadership, cooperation, humility, perseverance-yet also a brain-rattling, bone-breaking game whose consequences are at best misunderstood, and, at the very worst, deadly. What is the parent of a young athlete to make of that? The New Rochelle High School team in suburban New York is like many across the country: a source of civic pride, a manhood workshop for a revered coach and an emotional proving ground for boys of widely different backgrounds. In the fall of 2014, New Rochelle's season unfolded alongside watershed NFL head injury revelations and domestic abuse cases (remember Ray Rice?), as well as fatalities on nearby fields. The dramatic story of that season, for players, parents and coaches, underscores fundamental questions. Are football's inherent risks so great that the sport may not survive as we know it? Or are those risks worth the rewards that the game continues to bestow, and that can stay with a young man for a lifetime?

Book excerpt: This online longitudinal multi-wave study investigated impacts of sports spectatorship on students of two college football powerhouses — The Ohio State University and the University of Alabama. Specifically, the study looked at changes of self-esteem, mood, university affiliation and university football team affiliation with data collection occurring before and after watching football games. The study found some significant effects on self-esteem, mood, university affiliation and university football team affiliation at the university levels for individual waves but not overall. During this study, there was an on-campus incident at one university that may have affected these results.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The story of how the NFL, over a period of nearly two decades, denied and sought to cover up mounting evidence of the connection between football and brain damage “League of Denial may turn out to be the most influential sports-related book of our time.”—The Boston Globe “Professional football players do not sustain frequent repetitive blows to the brain on a regular basis.” So concluded the National Football League in a December 2005 scientific paper on concussions in America’s most popular sport. That judgment, implausible even to a casual fan, also contradicted the opinion of a growing cadre of neuroscientists who worked in vain to convince the NFL that it was facing a deadly new scourge: a chronic brain disease that was driving an alarming number of players—including some of the all-time greats—to madness. In League of Denial, award-winning ESPN investigative reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru tell the story of a public health crisis that emerged from the playing fields of our twenty-first-century pastime. Everyone knows that football is violent and dangerous. But what the players who built the NFL into a $10 billion industry didn’t know—and what the league sought to shield from them—is that no amount of padding could protect the human brain from the force generated by modern football, that the very essence of the game could be exposing these players to brain damage. In a fast-paced narrative that moves between the NFL trenches, America’s research labs, and the boardrooms where the NFL went to war against science, League of Denial examines how the league used its power and resources to attack independent scientists and elevate its own flawed research—a campaign with echoes of Big Tobacco’s fight to deny the connection between smoking and lung cancer. It chronicles the tragic fates of players like Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster, who was so disturbed at the time of his death he fantasized about shooting NFL executives, and former San Diego Chargers great Junior Seau, whose diseased brain became the target of an unseemly scientific battle between researchers and the NFL. Based on exclusive interviews, previously undisclosed documents, and private emails, this is the story of what the NFL knew and when it knew it—questions at the heart of a crisis that threatens football, from the highest levels all the way down to Pop Warner.

Book excerpt: My new neighbor is a complete jerk. A tall, brooding, tattooed jerk. I tried to be nice, bake some cupcakes for him and his adorable daughter, and the only reaction I could come up with to his ice-cold reception was to shove those pink cupcakes right into his muscular chest. In my defense, it was a rough week. Being back in Seattle for the first time in years was hard enough, the fact that I was there for the dispersal of my father's will made it even harder. I had no intention of staying, until I got a football stadium-sized surprise as my dad's final gift to me. No ... really. He left me a football team. It's how I found myself in a conference room, staring down the veteran quarterback who wants nothing to do with a new owner. And that quarterback? It's my tall, brooding, tattooed jerk of a neighbor. Now he's everywhere. Next door with his daughter. In meetings. Don't even get me started on away games. Luke Pierson is under my skin, and pretty soon, I'm not sure I want it any other way.

Book excerpt: American football to many has taken over baseball as the new favorite American past time. Whether it be Monday night, Thursday night or any day of the weekend, a football can be found on the television. This great game recently came under heavy criticism due to media focus on concussions and safety. These topics are taking precedence with young Americans and their families, so people are growing weary of the game. With films like “Concussion,” starring Will Smith, and numerous studies of deceased football players, many people believe that football is too dangerous of a sport to play. However, I find it necessary for people to take a historical view of this game of football. Football was once a fatal sport where people died on the field. Understanding where football started and where it is now is necessary for people to see the growth of the game and how safe it is compared to 1905. While football has been under constant scrutiny for health and injury-related issues, the concerns the game faced prior to 1905 threatened what is now a national pastime. The comparisons between the modern football crisis and the 1905 crisis that threatened football have similarities and differences that are keys to why the game is the primary sports pastime in the United States today.

Book excerpt: The Jersey E?ect takes a look into the hearts and minds of athletes who achieved Super Bowl success and examines the battles they faced. It presents the stories of champions who desired to reflect glory back to God by using their jersey and the platform God had given them to make a positive difference in the world. Even so, sometimes their great intentions were hijacked by pride, materialism, distractions, and de?ciencies within their own character that were never truly understood until the ultimate success had come their way. Intended for players, coaches, and parents that want to learn and in turn teach important lessons about how to properly align their love of sports with Gods heart, The Jersey E?ect advocates for a full 360 degrees of in?uence: coach on player, player on coach, player on parents, parents on player, and team on community. The Jersey Effect demonstrates how to pursue the ultimate prizea goal that has little to do with winning a championship ring and everything to do with how we can have a positive effect on those around us through the sports we love.

Book excerpt: You'll never view a football game in quite the same way again--the ultimate guide for the millions of impassioned fans who have turned football into America's most watched sport What effect does altitude have on the flight of a kicked ball? How do Newton's laws of motion apply to blocking and tackling? What does the science of physics reveal to us about the optimal chase strategies for defensive backs? In this illuminating , enormously entertaining book, a physics professor with a rare gift for making science easy to understand-and fun-for the lay reader reveals the unseen natural laws that govern football. And in so doing, Dr. Timothy Gay broadens and deepens our appreciation for the strategic nuances of this deceptively simple game. The success of such well received titles as The Physics of Baseball and The Physics of Golf has already demonstrated fans' fascination with the science underlying their favorite sport. But never before have basic physical principles been explained so clearly for sports fans with no scientific background. Readers will relive the game's enthralling moments and legendary feats-Franco Harris's Immaculate Reception, Joe Montana's scrambling pass for The Catch, Dick Butkus's bone-crunching, game-saving tackles, and many more-as they gain new insight into the dynamics of blocking and tackling, open field running, kicking, passing, the line of scrimmage, and the role played by equipment, turf, and the decibels of sound in stadiums. Illustrated with classic black-and-white NFL action photos along with engaging popular-science diagrams, the book is an outgrowth of Dr. Gay's playful, brilliant lectures on the physics of football that have been adapted by the NFL for videos shown on the TV show Blast! which airs in 190 foreign countries.

Book excerpt: Fancy Gap, Virginia, a postage-stamp town up in the cool air of the Blue Ridge escarpment, is only three hundred miles from the Ridley Circle Homes of Newport News, Virginia. Sociologically, they are worlds apart. Frank Beamer, born 1946, grew up in Fancy Gap, an all-white hamlet where good folk attended church and high school football games, and the Mountain Top Motel was the closest thing to nightlife. The tranquil town represented an idyllic imagining of the American past represents that still, today. Many people wish they could live in an idyllic version of the American past. Beamer did. Michael Vick, born 1980, grew up in Ridley Circle Homes, a nearly all-black housing project where no one would wish to live. Ranks of town houses were squeezed between an eight-lane freeway and Langley Air Force Base. Military jets passing overhead regularly made windows in the Ridley Circle Homes shake. Garbage blew across the brown dirt spaces between the structures there were no lawns, no shrubs. Benzene fumes from a nearby petroleum tank farm could make the air sting the nostrils. The general area was known to residents not as Newport News but as Bad News. In the Ridley Circle Homes, gunshots were common. Sometimes when there was a gunfight, mugging or rape, no one called the police, knowing gangs would retaliate after the officers departed. The crime-ridden Cabrini-Green project in Chicago had long been cited as the most inhumane public housing in the United States. Ridley Circle Homes was every bit as bad it just didn't get as much press. In 1997, Beamer drove across southern Virginia to meet Vick. Beamer was crossing a physical landscape of exit ramps and truck stops, but also the landscapes of American culture, sports and money. When Beamer was born, the Army was not yet integrated; Jim Crow laws remained on the books, the Civil Rights Act not yet having passed; blacks in many states were effectively disenfranchised, the Voting Rights Act not yet having passed; no black person since Reconstruction had been a governor; no African-American had been on the Supreme Court or been secretary of state, to say nothing of in the Oval Office; no African-American had been admitted to Virginia Tech
