Order What Is Sport? The book that finally defines sport. Maybe the most important issue of our time.
Surfing? Not a sport. NASCAR? Not a sport. Curling? Sport.
Never lose a water-cooler argument about whether or not cornhole or luge or Quidditch is a sport again.
What is Sport? is your answer key and pocket guide. It is a common misapprehension to try and distinguish activity as sport or not based on the degree of human athleticism or physicality required. This confusion leads inevitably to forced arguments from jocks and bullies about the dubious virility of soccer players or the prohibitions on crying in baseball in order to make the case for or against any particular activity. What is Sport?, however, recognizes that our intuition about sport turns on one very important test about the purpose of the activity rather than the physicalness or testosterone involved.
John Forbes Nash Jr., or his adapted-screenplay version, once said, “Find a truly original idea. It is the only way I will ever distinguish myself. It is the only way I will ever matter.”
From the beautiful mind of D. Josev Brewer comes this truly original idea, What is Sport? He has accomplished what some of the greatest thinkers in sports media, like Terry Bradshaw and Lou Ferrigno, could not. He has defined sport.
