Description
As the role and influence of professional sports has increased in American life, so has the relationship between the U.S.
Congress and the professional sports world. Since WW II, Congress has held dozens of investigations and debated hundreds of bills on subjects such as organized baseball's antitrust exemption, the NFL's television blackout policy, the role of organized crime in professional boxing, the league mergers in professional football and basketball, and franchise relocations. Lowe provides concise, interpretive narrative of Congress's involvement in professional sports.
Testimony is included from such colorful figures as Jackie Robinson, Casey Stengel, Pete Rozelle, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, and Don King.
Leading congressmen and senators are also included.
