In "Two Sports Myths and Why They're Wrong," authors Rodney Fort
and Jason Winfree apply sharp economic analysis to bust a couple of
the most widespread urban legends about professional athletics.
Exploring the claim that player salary demands increase ticket
prices and asking whether Major League Baseball should emulate the
National Football League, this quick read gives us a taste of "15
Sports Myths and Why They're Wrong," forthcoming from Stanford
University Press this September.
Fort and Winfree take apart these common misconceptions, showing
how the assumptions behind them fail to add up. They reveal how
these myths perpetuate themselves, substituting the intuitive
appeal of emotionally charged myths with rigorous, informed
explanations that weaken their potency and loosen their grip on the
sports we love.
"Two Sports Myths" breakdown these tall tales just in time for the
MLB All-Star Game and will leave you wondering what other myths
will be on the chopping block later this fall.
