"""Buehler's book is well written and extremely thorough in its overall review of managerial sports media, but more important, it may surprise readers by providing a much deeper dive into overall conversations about what it means to be human in the 21st century."" --International Journal of Sport Communication “In this sharply written and impressive book, Branden Buehler provides compelling new insights into the social, cultural, and visual consequences of sports media’s preoccupation with managerialism, financialization, and quantification.
