Why read it?
1 author picked The League as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is genuinely unique because David Harris is an investigative reporter, not a sportswriter.
He used his investigative skills to look at the inner workings of the National Football League from the 1960s into the early 1980s. Instead of the standard “great teams, great games, great coaches, great players” approach, Harris studied the infighting, the conflicts, and the compromises among owners that took place behind the scenes to help shape the modern NFL.
From Ralph's list on the history of pro football.
