Ellis Cashmore & J. Cleland 
Football’s Dark Side: Corruption, Homophobia, Violence and Racism in the Beautiful Game [PDF ebook] 

Association football is the richest, most popular sport in history with a multicultural global following. It is also riven with corruption, racism, homophobia and a violence that has for decades resisted all attempts to tame it. Cashmore and Cleland examine football’s dark side: the unpleasant, sleazy and downright nasty aspects of the sport.
