This wide-ranging background synthesizes scholarship or grant and media sources to provide the listener an internal view of the television set deals, labor issues, and other off-the-field causes that designed the National Soccer League. Historian Richard Crepeau shows how Commissioner Pete Rozelle's continuous leadership guided the league's explosive growth during the period of Mon Night Soccer and the Super Bowl's change into a mid-winter spectacle. Crepeau also delves into the league's masterful exploitation of multimedia from radio to the Internet, its potential to get taxpayers to subsidize team stadiums, and its own success in providing an electric outlet for experiencing vicarious assault to a public uneasy on the changing guidelines of masculinity. Probing and discovered, NFL Soccer says an epic American success account peopled by larger-than-life statistics and powered by ambition, money, sweat, and dizzying public and technical changes. The booklet is posted by University or college of Illinois Press.
