Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, which makes it the most multicultural of sports. From this it should follow that the multicultural movement here in America would strongly support soccer. But instead of embracing the sport of the 'Other,' the movement has ignored sports, and while younger multiculturalists may be soccer fans, the older ones have generally clung to America’s own sports. Soccer in America has ended up being a sport for those in the middle or even on the right rather than for those on the left. The people who show up at soccer games include fraternity jocks, sorority girls and members of the military, none of whom are thought of as multiculturalist or open-minded by those on the left.This book is about sports in America and the rest of the world. The many topics it explores include soccer’s place in the world, a comparison of the sports environments in America and England, a critical examination of America’s sports, the history of prejudice against soccer in America, and the failure of many of America’s leftists to overcome that prejudice.

  • Forgotten Debates
    John Pepple
    Plato emphatically believed in forms, while his nephew Speusippus did not. Because of this conflict, Plato and Speusippus must have had many debates concerning the existence of the forms, yet no one in antiquity ever mentioned them. Such forgotten debates is the topic of this volume. These debates include, besides those between Plato and Speusippus, those between the Eleatics a...
