Dave Zirin Interview

Dave Zirin, columnist for SLAM Magazine, a regular contributor to the Nation Magazine, and Los Angeles Times discusses his book Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports. Terrordome has already been called "the sports primer for our time." Sports Illustrated wrote that Terrordome is "a provocative, sometimes chilling, look at sports and society right now." This much-anticipated sequel to What's My Name, Fool? breaks new ground in sports writing, looking at the controversies and trends now shaping sports in the United States-and abroad. Features chapters such as "Barry Bonds is Gonna Git Your Mama: The Last Word on Steroids," "Pro Basketball and the Two Souls of Hip-Hop," "An Icon's Redemption: The Great Roberto Clemente," and "Beisbol: How the Major Leagues Eat Their Young."
