Playing Through Pain

In this thought-provoking examination, Daniel Sailofsky explores the pervasive violence associated with professional sports, from on-field injuries to off-field acts and broader structural issues. He argues that capitalism and profit-driven motives underpin many of these violent behaviors, with sports leaders often obscuring these connections to evade accountability. The book highlights the links between the business of sports and various forms of violence, while also envisioning alternative, less harmful models of sport.
