This hard hitting book exposes the underbelly of the sports world and the all too common consequences felt by African American athletes that are all too often entirely unprepared to deal with the consequences of their stardom. Are the "perpetrators" in effect "victims" of their own fame?

Is America ready for a book that looks so intensely, so honestly-so uniquely-at the issues of race, media and sport? Thanks to Don Jackson, we're all about to find out.
