NFL Football (häftad, eng)

The new NFL Centennial Edition

A multi-billion-dollar entertainment empire, the National Football League is a coast-to-coast obsession that borders on religion and dominates our sports-mad culture. But today''s NFL also provides a stage for playing out important issues roiling American society.
 
The updated and expanded edition of NFL Football observes the league''s centennial by following the NFL into the twenty-first century, where off-the-field concerns compete with touchdowns and goal line stands for headlines.

Richard Crepeau delves into the history of the league and breaks down the new era with an in-depth look at the controversies and dramas swirling around pro football today:

• Tensions between players and Commissioner Roger Goodell over collusion, drug policies, and revenue;
• The firestorm surrounding Colin Kaepernick and protests of police violence and inequality;
• Andrew Luck and others choosing early retirement over the threat to their long-term health;
• Paul Tagliabue''s role in covering up information on concussions;
• The Super Bowl''s evolution into a national holiday.

 Authoritative and up to the minute, NFL Football continues the epic American success story.
