Reviews

As Euchner shows in persuasive detail, individual sports owners as well as the leagues in whose interests they ultimately act are in a position to control the terms of debate. -- Jonathan Yardley Washington Post Details how owners... have shamelessly played cities against one another to get sweetheart deals for their stadiums. Sports Illustrated. Chapters on the Colts and Orioles in Baltimore, the White Sox in Chicago, and the Raiders in Oakland and Los Angeles... describe the sweetheart deals and legal disputes that arise when a franchise even flirts with relocating. Chronicle Of Higher Education.
