I mean this book was a great sports info dump for fans of sports.

I do think it just felt too much information without any levity or analyzation. I felt it dragged on a lot, just not a fan.

“Game On” is a non-fiction book by David Bockino about the growth, popularity, and craziness of the sports media industry. The sports industry has a lot of history - from how favorite teams started to those crazy fans and even those fantastic newspaper writers, but little observed (or noted) is the sports media industry. From the invention of the radio (and all that fell out of that) to the propaganda associated with televised sporting events down to today’s YouTube and streaming - it’s all covered in this book. I can see how this book could have been longer, but I think the author did a great job in keeping to the facts (sometimes a bit dryly but some information cannot be made as wonderful as the tales about Gorgeous George) and selecting what to cover. My child was heavily involved in sports media and I think would’ve appreciated reading this book for the historical information.
