“Dave Zirin is the best young sportswriter in America.”—Robert Lipsyte This

much-anticipated sequel to What’s My Name, Fool? by acclaimed commentator

Dave Zirin breaks new ground in sports writing, looking at the

controversies and trends now shaping sports in the United States—and

abroad. Features chapters such as “Barry Bonds is Gonna Git Your Mama: The

Last Word on Steroids,” “Pro Basketball and the Two Souls of Hip-Hop,” “An

Icon’s Redemption: The Great Roberto Clemente,” and “Beisbol: How the Major

Leagues Eat Their Young.” Zirin’s commentary is always insightful, never

predictable. Dave Zirin is the author of the widely acclaimed book What’s

My Name, Fool? (Haymarket Books) and writes the weekly column “Edge of

Sports” (edgeofsports.com). He writes a regular column for The Nation and

Slam magazine and has appeared as a sports commentator on ESPN TV and

radio, CBNC, WNBC, Democracy Now!, Air America, Radio Nation, and Pacifica.

Chuck D redefined rap music and hip-hop culture as leader and co-founder of

the legendary rap group Public Enemy. Spike Lee calls him “one of the most

politically and socially conscious artists of any generation.” He co-hosts

a weekly radio show on Air America.
