Summary:
"For fans of Michael Lewis, the astounding untold
story
of how professional
sports
transformed, in the span of a single generation, from a cottage industry into a massive global business. In the cash-soaked world of contemporary
sports
, where every season brings news of higher salaries, endorsement deals, and television contracts, it is mind-boggling to remember that as recently as the 1970s elite athletes earned so little money that many were forced to work second jobs in the off-season to make ends meet. Roger Staubach, for example, made only $25,000. in his first season as the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and wound up selling commercial real estate during the summer. Today, when Fortune reports that every athlete on its Top 50 list makes more than $20 million per year, it's clear that a complete reversla of power has occured right before our eyes."--Dust jacket
