| Meer info | - Benedict, former research director, Center for the Study of Sport in Society, offers a controversial documentary chronicling recent cases of women sexually abused and battered by professional and college athletes. Assigned to collect data to refute the growing perception that athletes commit a disproportionate percentage of crimes against women, Benedict instead found evidence that male athletes actually are more likely to commit such crimes. The sudden status accorded an American sports hero, his inflated income, the protection provided by coaches and agents, and the adulation of groupies all help to insulate violent athletes, whom young men often emulate, ironically, as role models. Some high-profile cases, such as the rape of Desiree Washington by Mike Tyson, are discussed. This readable book includes notes and a brief proposal for the prevention of future abuse. For larger public libraries and special collections. |
