Professional sports in America: it's all about fair play and the goal of winning championships. At least that's the spin. But could it be a massive showbiz operation filled with greedy owners, crooked referees, and coddled players, all with the unstated goal of grabbing as much money as possible?Author Brian Tuohy provides a full-sourced saga of the corruption that has infected the storied histories of the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and NASCAR. With reality obscured by a complacent and often complicit sports media, The Fix Is In shines a light on a hidden history of clandestine arrangements between television networks and sports leagues, all against a background of drinking, drugging, and crime. Finally, here's a book that unflinchingly examines the sordid underbelly of the American sports industry. Brian Tuohymaintains the website thefixisin. net and is a frequent contributor to the CBS Sports website bleacherreport. com, where he chronicles sports scandals and conspiracies as the stories break. Brian has been interviewed byThe New York Times, ESPN, Fox Sports, andThe Power Hour radio program. Professional sports in America: it's all about fair play and the goal of winning championships.
