TSD Book Club Selection: An Incomplete & Inaccurate History of Sport by Kenny Mayne

"Painstakingly faithful to its title, Kenny Mayne’s book is neither complete nor is it particularly accurate. Ostensibly an A-to-Z encyclopedia of all known sports, many sports are never mentioned. There’s not a word about rugby, volleyball, Roller Derby, swimming, or (shockingly) Basque pelota or shinty. There is a chapter about sliding, but none about skiing. Competitive eating and rhythmic gymnastics will have to wait for another book. However, there are roughly eight chapters about tackle football—“the greatest sport in the world, and everyone knows it”—and a good four or five about horse racing, so quit complaining before you’ve even read the book. There will be plenty of time for complaining after you’ve finished it (about an hour from now—tops). (About The Book)

A new book has finally been added to the TSD book club. An Incomplete & Inaccurate History of Sport by Kenny Mayne. You can learn more about this book from www.kennymaynehaswrittenabook.com. The book goes on sale 4/22. Not sure if it will be funny or horrible but I will keep you updated once finished. So if you're a big Kenny Mayne fan pre-order a copy here. And once you do decide to read the book, let me know your opinion. Like should we send emails to ESPN letting them know that just because they are taken up space on our TV screens doesn't mean that they should invade our bookcases.
