This fascinating volume takes readers on a journey through the cultural history of American football - from its earliest post-Civil War roots to the high-flying acrobatics of the modern game - and explains why the game evolved, and how its evolution was often a mirror on American society and culture.Drawing on meticulous research, and interviews with some of the game's most prominent voices, "How Football Explains America" looks at everything from why the sport hasn't caught on around the world, to why it is one of the most violent, and from why it is the only sport to feature a 'huddle', to the impact of Old World immigrants on the shape of the game.
