15 Sports Myths and Why Theyre Wrong

Fort and Winfree apply sharp economic analysis to bust some of the most widespread urban legends about college and professional athletics. Each chapter takes apart a common misconception, showing how the assumptions behind it fail to add up, how these myths perpetuate themselves and, ultimately, how they serve a handful of powerful parties -- such as franchise owners, reporters, and players -- at the expense of the larger community of sports fans.
