"An Unholy Alliance offers a dissenting view to the claim by a growing number of scholars that sports are a new religion. The last few years have seen a spate of books that might be classified by a genre called "Sports Apologetics," that is, arguments defending or celebrating in one way or another the familiar and ongoing alliance in America between sports and religion." "In this book, Higgs and Braswell suggest that while sports may often be good things, they are not inherently divine. They do not focus on widespread abuse in sports as evidence for their counterargument. Rather, they question the use of mythological parallels from prehistory as justification for viewing sports as a religion."--Jacket.
