Religion and sport have an interesting relationship, and their sometimes strong bond and sometimes uneasy truce affects athletes, managers, sports writers, and fans.

This book shines a light on that relationship in America through a series of examples of where and how sport and religion have interacted.

While well-researched and informative, it felt a little unfocused - more like a fusion of random stories where religion and sport intersected than a single thread running through the narrative holding it all together... But if lots of anecdotes on the topic of religion and sport are your thing, then this is well worth a read.

Quick book that examines the intersection of sports and religion. I expected to dislike it, but didn't.
