The Big Three's Takeover of Sport (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781426972188)

In the The "Big-Three's" Takeover of Sport, Dr. Zeigler argues that such a take-over of competitive sport by capitalism, nationalism, and democracy has become a very serious problem that gradually became a crisis as the twentieth century wore on. The main purpose of this book-to show that the "commandeering", or take-over, of sport by the "conglomerate of three", enumerated-has created a situation where competitive sport has been increasingly "degraded" to a destructive "professional morality" espousing a mentality that "screams" "Winning is now not the most important thing in sport; it is the only thing!" If indeed such is the case, this means that we must move now to assess the evolving situation more carefully than ever before...
