Don't Be Afraid to Win: How Free Agency Changed the Business of Pro Sports

By Jim Quinn

Book Overview

Professional sports were not always the way they are today. Don't Be Afraid to Win tells the story of how the National Basketball Association, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, and the National Hockey League evolved from teams and leagues that were relatively small businesses into multibillion-dollar industries. The book recounts the critical role the professional athletes played in this evolution and a lawyer who was intimately involved from the beginning and who spent a lifetime interacting with star athletes as well as team owners and league management in all the major leagues.
