65/100
👎 Skip It
A neat, under-explored corner of history — how entrepreneurs built and shaped sports from 19th-century horse racing to today's football — and it came through peer review before landing as a book, which counts for something. But this is squarely academic sport-history reading, and there's no sign it's reached beyond that circle.
