The Rowman & Littlefield Sports Icons and Issues in Popular Culture Series aims to provide the general reading public with creative, interesting, well-researched, and well-written volumes regarding sports issues and sporting stars whose fame have crossed over into the broader popular culture. Purposely broad and expansive in scope, the series not only explores athletes across various sports, but also helps to situate them in their historical and cultural contexts.

Series Editors: Norma Jones and Bob Batchelor
