Synopsis
Thus, the Distilled Wisdom of Hunter S. Thompson, from the Good Doctor's Introduction to this book on the provocative convergence of religion and sports in America, and the rise of sports to its current prominent position as this country's ultimate secular religion. Who can argue? Who among us has not felt an awed hush upon coming out of those concrete tunnels and seeing, for the first time, the perfect green of Yankee Stadium? Who among us has sat in the cold of Lambeau Field in December ... yes, on a late Sunday morning ... and not felt ourselves to be part of a congregation of like-minded pilgrims? Who among us has seen Michael Jordan in flight and not thought it a miracle? Let he who is without a sense of wonder cast the first stone., With an introduction by Hunter S. Thompson.Following the success of the New York Times bestseller ESPN SportsCentury comes a new collection of essays, illustrations, and photographs that explores a completely original concept: sports as the American secular religion.Weve all seen the images: a stadium of fans performing the "we are not worthy" genuflection, a St. Vincent Lombardi medal, Michael Jordan being followed by a worshipful crowd of media members. And what room doesnt grow silent to absorb the words of the prophet-like Muhammad Ali, or to revel in footage of the miracle victory of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team Indeed, the parallels are unmistakable: Sports is Americas secular religion, and its famous figures occupy a hallowed place in our culture.No one has ever captured this topic as cogently as the writers included in Saints, Saviors and Sinners. Each section of the book is accompanied by numerous photographs, which viscerally support the theme of each grouping. Le Anne Schreiber writes about "Saints," Ralph Wiley discusses "Saviors," Peter Carlson examines "Sinners," Robert Lipsyte explores the "Prophets," and George Plimpton delves into "God." Superbly designed by the prize-winning team behind ESPN SportsCentury, Saints, Saviors and Sinners is far more than a compendium of photos, illustrations, and essays -- it is a cohesive, insightful, and instructive examination of Americas top sports figures and their position in our society.
