London, UK) have written this "manifesto" for sports fans who are perplexed and frustrated by the owners of sports teams who appear to make decisions out of greed instead of the spirit of competition. The authors propose a complete restructuring of sports leagues through the strict enforcement of rules, the reduction of conflicts of interest among owners and policies of promotion and relegation. This book also weighs the pros and cons of such organizational strategies as "closed" leagues, entry by merit, the "Contest Theory" and competitive balance.
