   "WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME." 
Public Enemy's 1989 hip-hop anthem 
was a call to arms against a world—and 
a popular culture—gone mad. 
A real Terrordome emerged in the New 
Orleans Superdome in the horrifying aftermath  
of Hurricane Katrina—a gruesome 
collision of sports and politics as 
thousands sat stranded in a sports arena 
where most could never have afforded 
even the cheapest ticket. 
 Today the "Terrordome" is a twenty-first 
century sports world that is frightening, 
ridiculous, horrifying, and inspiring
all 
before the next commercial break.   
You'll find heroes and villains. You'll find  
oppression and protest. And you'll find 
an engaging and provocative look at the 
world of sports like no other. 
 "Energetic, engaging, passionate, optimistic— 
and angry at all the right things, 
Dave Zirin has established himself as 
perhaps the best young sportswriter 
today. If   you're a sports fan, you'll love  
this book. If you're politically active, 
you'll love this book. If you're a politically 
active sports fan, you've found 
your bible." 
—Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and 
publisher, the Nation 
 "Welcome to the Terrordome is the 
sports primer for our time." 
—Robert Lipsyte, legendary sports 
writer, New Yor
