"WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME."
Public Enemy's 1989 hip-hop anthem
was a call to arms against a worldand
a popular culturegone mad.
A real Terrordome emerged in the New
Orleans Superdome in the horrifying aftermath
of Hurricane Katrinaa 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
