Description:

Despite the increasing focus on the connection between sports and societal values, football has been left relatively unexplored. This text aims to fill this gap in sports history.

Synopsis:

This intriguing resource covers a host of issues including the rise of football, football and feminism, militarism and leadership training, and multicultural football. A broad and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which football addressed the cultural and ideological tensions within American society during its period of development and consolidation after the Civil War, this study is ideal for everyone from the football enthusiast to the general reader.
