Negative Positive
Title: Poorly researched, thin, bias, socialist propaganda
Review: This book is the worst kind of biased liberal journalism in that it implies that everyone with an opposing view is a racist. The book is thin, ignorant of the facts, and one-sided. The book is about black athletes affected by racism, but why does the author always use racism as an excuse for everything? In Zirin's world, no black athlete can be held accountable for his actions, is responsible for his own actions(ie: Ricky Williams, Barry Bonds), and it's disgusting the way the author uses racism as a defense mechanism to any counter view. Worse, I believe the author is dishonest. He takes his point of view, not because he believes what he says, but because it's the only platform he can find to write inside of. Besides that, the book is thin, poorly researched, and the interviews are self-serving. Is there any athletes' behavior that offends this author?
Is the review positive or negative?
