Sports journalist, author and culturist Scoop Jackson recently released his book, The Game Is Not A Game, which explores the good and evil within the sports industry.
Timing for the book is impeccable as Jackson challenges the power structure of sports and exposes social injustices within the industry. Chapters discuss the NFL’s hypocrisy, anthem protests and the impact of Colin Kaepernick, cultural bias of analytics and the disrespect of female athletes.
The book was officially released March 7 of this year, but amid the social unrest which became a focal point of our national conversation, its message has only grown in importance over the last four months.
“Some have called the book “prophetic.” I disagree,” Jackson said in his recent press release. “I just say it’s “perfect timing.” The book was here before the rest of the country came along. So, welcome.”
