Part play-by-play, part op-ed, The Game Is Not a Game is an
illuminating and unflinching examination of the good and evil in
the sports industry. Liberating and provocative, with sharp wit and
generous humor, Jackson's essays explore the role that sports plays
in American society and the hypocritical standards by which the
athletes are often judged. The Game Is Not a Game is distinctly
intended to challenge accepted ideology and to push the boundaries
of mainstream sports media beyond the comfort zone. Chapters expose
"Our Miseducation of LeBron James," "#ThemToo: The UnRespected
Worth of the Woman Athlete," the duplicity of the NFL in its
treatment of Colin Kaepernick and the anthem protests, the cultural
bias of analytics, and the power of social activism versus the
power and politics of professional sports ownership-all from the
sharp, savvy, and self-critical perspective of one of the leading
voices for social justice in sports media.
