iQuest Book

For my book that I have to read for iQuest I chose Sports Inc.: 100 Years of Sports, by Phil Schaaf. I will read two chapters a week in order to complete my goal of reading it in five weeks. The main idea of the book is the history of the sports industry, and how it has progressed over the years. So far the book has talked about how the radio and TV were the big turning points for the sports industry. It has also talked about the intensity level in sports and how that has grown in the past hundred years to astonishing heights. The sports industry has grown from small means of pass time, into one of the largest entertainment industries in the world. There was somewhat of a big bang in terms of the industry becoming popular. This was the time when sports teams were putting big money into the sports like any kind of businesses and it worked out. So far this book is very intriguing and I can’t wait to read more about my favorite thing in the world. I like how the book uses plenty of facts to back it up to show real proof of the industry’s growth. I think the author’s goal of the book was to show people how such a successful industry came to be. I want to learn more about this exciting topic.
