Book Talk by Dave Zirin: Hold the Booyah: Dressing Down the Dirty Business of Sports September 15, 2005

In his new book, "What's My Name, Fool? Sports & Resistance in the United States," Dave Zirin illustrates how sports express the worst - and at times the most creative, exciting, and political - features of our society. Drawing on original interviews and histories of a range of athletes, the book recounts the social impacts of those who charted new paths through their athletic abilities and outspoken views. It surveys the ?level? playing fields of sports, and reveals hidden inequities that define the world around us. Dave is a regular sports commentator on Air America Radio's "So What Else is News?" and produces a syndicated column, Edge of Sports.
