Publisher's description:

Shows how our belief in the value of sport is misplaced. Tracing the history of organised game-playing, this book argues that sport is a last refuge for sexism, racism, homophobia and animal cruelty. It cites neglected research in psychology, showing how playing sport tends to impinge negatively on your morals.
