Review of 'One Game At A Time Why Sports Matter' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
As someone who has absorbed a lot of judgemental, "superiority" attitudes regarding sports, and generally ignored it, I really appreciated this sports-lover and radical/academic's exploration of why sports matter to him and the radical possibilities available in caring about sports. The writing is a little scattershot and didn't always speak directly to me, but since one main thread of his argument revolves around embracing difference and celebrating incommensurability, in really listening to other people, I appreciated all of his efforts and would recommend this book to other sports-averse radical-leaning types like myself.
You only learn and grow in the collisions with the unknown or the unfamiliar. Give it a try!
