The British Invention of Twentieth-century Sport
This history traces the origins of the multi-million-pound international spectator sport industry back to the beginnings of the British empire and discovers how soccer, cricket, rugby, boxing and other games were carried overseas by the British. It proves that such apparently all-American pursuits such as baseball and ice hockey were in fact British in their origin. |
