Football and Fascism The National Game under Mussolini
The 1938 World Cup victory in France was the zenith of sporting achievement for Fascist Italy. As Lando Ferretti, Mussolini’s press officer and one of Fascism’s most prominent theorists of sport, suggested, such successes were uniting the Italian diaspora behind the regime and symbolized the rise of the Fascist Italian nation. Until this point, ‘Italy’ was a more accurate term for the geographical area united by the 1861 Risorgimento (Unification) than the ‘Italian nation’, which remained a disparate, disconnected entity, in need of physical and psychological integration. Post-unification governments lacked a critical sense of legitimacy among Italian citizens, who were alienated by geographic, economic and linguistic barriers. Their legitimacy was...

The Economics of Football
Only a few years ago professional football in England was in a state of serious decline. Attendances were falling, revenues were stagnant and the image of the game wasmarred by hooliganism.Academic economists and the business and finance community paid very little attention to the sector, and most of the publicity surrounding the sport was bad. Since the start of the 1990s, however, professional football in England and elsewhere has experienced an astonishing transformation. Player salaries have risen exponentially, television contracts yield revenues on a scale unimaginable only a few years ago, many football stadia have been completely rebuilt, the profile of commercial sponsorship and merchandising has increased beyond measure and...

BRITISH FOOTBALL AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION
This book has a simple purpose: to explore the various dimensions of social inequality that currently afflict the game of football in Britain. The contributors have written variously against a background of euphoric public discourse about football, with waning concern about football hooliganism, a string of new stadiums, the incessant tinkling of cash registers at the top clubs and relentless media invocations of ‘the beautiful game’. This framing of the contemporary game has not, of course, gone unchallenged, and a paradigm of critical writing about British football and social division has been sustained. This paradigm, organised around the angry rhetorical question ‘Whose game is it, anyway?’, goes back...

TALKING IRISH THE ORAL HISTORY OF NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL
ON DECEMBER 7, 1940, DURING THE SEASON FINALE AT SOUTHERN California, Notre Dame coach Elmer Layden charged onto the field to protest what he felt was a rotten call. But Layden didn’t stop there. After blistering the refs, he screamed at USC coach Howard Jones. A normally genial man, Layden had finally submitted to the abnormal pressure of coaching Notre Dame football. This pressure had increased for nine straight years—ever since March 31, 1931, the stunning day Knute Rockne died in an airplane crash....

Regulating Football Commodification, Consumption and the Law
The relationship between law and football is, perhaps surprisingly, one with a long history. However, although early examples of legal intervention focused primarily upon public-order issues, as football began to evolve so did the law’s relation to it. Different forms of law began to be utilised, culminating in the large number of commercial law issues now confronting football. As this book shows, the ways in which football is regulated are not necessarily all legal in nature, and much of the book is concerned with the mechanisms used to control the game, both internally and externally....

Forever Red: Confessions of a Cornhusker Football Fan
So there we were, rumbling south down Highway 77 in our Chevy Impala on our way to a football game, when my dad became my hero and the Nebraska Cornhuskers my team for life. It happened, oddly enough, over the cb radio, the best in-car entertainment in those pre–Game Boy days. The drive to Lincoln from Rosalie, our tiny town of two hundred in the northeast corner of the state, wasn’t exactly jam-packed with excitement. There was the traditional pit stop at the Fremont Dairy Queen to look forward to or maybe even an interlude at the corner café in Wahoo....

Bowls, Polls& Tattered Souls
What do you do for a living? Me? I deal with confused people. Lots of them. All day. Every day. It’s true I also attend football games, conduct interviews, and write stories. But the confused people—they’re the one constant throughout. Their bewildered queries, their pleas for clarity await me nearly every time I check my e-mail, filling my in-box by the hundreds. Their messages often start the same way: “How can you possibly explain . . . ,” “Am I missing something here, or . . . ?,” “Maybe you can help me figure something out . . . ,” or, my personal favorite, “How can you be such...

Football Genius
It was wrong to sneak out of the house after midnight. It was wrong to take some- thing that wasn’t yours. And, even though he wasn’t that kind of kid, that night, he was doing both. Usually, on a night like that night, the crickets’ end-of-summer song and the moths bumping against the window screen would put him to sleep.

Rugby’s Great Split Class, culture and the origins of rugby league football
Why are there two forms of rugby? This has been asked at one time or another by anyone with even a passing interest in sport. And given the profound changes which both rugby league and rugby union are currently undergoing, the question now has an importance which transcends mere historical curiosity. This work aims to provide the answer. It looks at the development of rugby in the social context of late Victorian and Edwardian England and tries to demonstrate how the changing nature of that society shaped the sport and led to the creation of rugby league. At its heart is an exploration of how a game...

A Season in Purgatory: Villanova and Life in College Football's Lower Class
Moe Gibson stood alone, facing his locker, bawling like a baby. He had already removed his shoulder pads and the navy blue jersey emblazoned on both sides with No. 22, the one with his surname printed in large capital letters on the reverse and “Villanova,” in smaller type, along the front. Gibson, by now the only person remaining in the university’s spacious football locker room, cried for the name on the back of the jersey, and he cried for the name on the front. For four years the kid who was known by his given name, Martin, to just about no one, had returned kicks and played running back...

RUNNING FOR MY LI FE
I first met Warrick Dunn in January 1997 at the National Scouting Combine. I was beginning my second year as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Warrick had just completed his senior year at Florida State University. Each team is allotted fi fteen minutes to speak to the draft-eligible college football players. I came away from that meeting, as brief as it was, highly impressed. Without saying a lot, Warrick demonstrated to me that he was a special person. He was never boastful, but he told me in a matter- of- fact tone that he was what the Buccaneers needed. He was right. In the eleven years...

Shooting for Tiger How Golf’s Obsessed New Generation Is Transforming a Country Club Sport
When my son Samuel picked up a tiny tennis racket at the tender age of three, he swung it with grace. Later, he was good enough to earn a spot on a top-ranked Belgian club soccer team. On a trip to America, he hit a home run in one of his first baseball games at camp. Yet one by one his athletic passions dropped away. At tennis tournaments, parents screamed on the sidelines. Samuel tensed, and all too often he came off the court in tears. He dropped off the elite soccer team after a year, finding the sport too stressful, and proceeded to turn in what seemed...

FANATICS! Power, identity and fandom in football
This collection was first conceived of at a conference organised by Adam Brown to coincide with the Euro 96 European Football Championships in England in 1996. The conference, ‘Fanatics! Football and Popular Culture in Europe’, was held at the Manchester Institute for Popular Culture, Manchester Metropolitan University from 11–13 June 1996 and involved leading football academics from around the world. Whilst naturally much of the attention at the time was focused on the championships, the ‘on-field play’ at the conference put football fans centre stage, with over forty papers looking at the modern game. Selecting the most appropriate of these to be revised and included in this collection was not...

THE DANIHERS TERRY, NEALE, ANTHONY AND CHRIS DANIHER
Our hire car’s headlights briefly illuminate a sign by the roadside. From the top it reads Ungarie 42, Condobolin 105, Lake Cargelligo 115. A smile creeps across Neale Daniher’s face. ‘When we see the name Ungarie we know we’re almost home.’ The outskirts of West Wyalong disappear as the last rays of sunshine fade. It is May 2008. We are in southern New South Wales, 550 kilometres from Sydney and around 600 from Melbourne.

FOOTBALL SUPERSTARS Joe Montana
It is difficult to pick out a single moment that defines an outstanding athlete’s career. Out of a lifetime filled with high points, choosing the best is, at best, a risky proposition. Sometimes, though, one single event summarizes everything that is great about an athlete. For Joe Montana, considered by many to be the greatest quarterback in football history, that time may have been in the closing minutes of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game on January 10, 1982.

Football: The First Hundred Years
The roots of this book stemmed from a reference that I chanced upon in an issue from 1841 of the Victorian newspaper Bell’s Life in London. I was interested in Victorian chess and as Bell’s contained one of the earliest and most informative chess columns from the period, it was a natural source for me to consult. However, the fragment that caught my eye, tucked away at the very bottom of the chess column, had nothing to do with the ‘royal game’ – as chess’s advocates were inclined to title it, but rather to what would later become known as ‘the beautiful game’ – football....

German Football History, Culture, Society
The most dramatic and high-profile of world spectacles have been the modern Olympic Games and the men’s football World Cup, events owned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and FIFA (the governing body of world football). Such sporting encounters and contests have provided a source of and focus for the staging of spectacle and, in an era of international mass communications, the media event. The growth of FIFA and the IOC, and of their major events, has provided a platform for the articulation and expression of national pride and prestige. Greece saw the symbolic potential of staging an international event such as the first modern Olympics in 1896 to...

National Identity and Global Sports Events
The political exploitation of the global sports spectacle and the cultural and economic ramifications of its staging have been critical indices of the intensifying globalization of both media and sport. Sports events celebrating the body and physical culture have long been driven by political and ideological motives, from the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome to the societies of early modern Europe, in more modern Western societies as well as less developed and non-Western ones.

The Sweet Season A SPORTSWRITER REDISCOVERS FOOTBALL, FAMILY, AND A BIT OF FAITH AT MINNESOTA’S ST. JOHN’S UNIVERSITY
The news itself was less surprising than how my wife chose to deliver it. She had made no secret of her loneliness during my frequent and prolonged absences. Lithe, blonde, and blue-eyed, Laura Hilgers at thirty-seven looks better now than she did as an undergraduate, and she struck me dumb then. It stood to reason that her eye would wander during one of my business trips, that some young stud might take notice, and bust a move.

The Games Are Not the Same The Political Economy of Football in Australia
While this book is all about football, it does not pretend to be a chronicle of every star player, successful coach, or great match. Neither does it list every premiership team, leading goal kicker, or best player award. This is a book about the business and management of football, and the ways in which the various football codes evolved from essentially community-based sports underpinned by a local supporter base, into multi-layered enterprises that compete in the mass entertainment industry....

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Football
Take your wildest dream, the thing you want to happen more than anything else, the thing that you absolutely can’t live without, and then make it come true. Stand at its doorstep. That’s what it feels like to be standing in the stadium tunnel waiting to play for the NFL Championship in the Super Bowl. It’s like a first kiss. The game is bigger than life. My first Super Bowl was in Pasadena, California, before more than 100,000 people. It was surreal, like going on that first date, waiting for that first kiss. I was so excited. It is the greatest thing to ever happen to a...

FOOTBALL TRAINING LIKE THE PROS
While the inspiration for my training technique was the revolutionary ideologies and methodologies that I learned in the 1980s from the Soviets, the inspiration for my training philosophy is relationships. Anyone who knows me knows that my priorities are faith, family, and friends, in that order. All the methods, all the equipment, all the experience, and all the athletic ideology are not what motivate me to do what I do. I do what I do because of the sincere love I have for the players that I train....
