Robert Kerr 
How Postmodernism Explains Football and Football Explains Postmodernism: The Billy Clyde Conundrum [PDF ebook] 

Ondersteuning

American football and postmodernist theory are both objects of popular and scholarly interest that reveal remarkable sociological insights. Analysis of media-driven commercial football documents how narratives of sportsmanship/brutality, heroism/antiheroism, athleticism/self-indulgence, honor/chicanery, and chivalry/sexism compete and thrive.
