  Covering a range of sports, this book examines key moments in sport that have been commented on by writers for The Times newspaper over the last 20 years. It argues that sport can be used to teach the young and to enrich lives but criticizes today's highly paid performers if they have failed to achieve. The book examines the darkest days of sport, blaming politics, nationalism and greed, before presenting a selection of journalism that concentrates for the most part on what has gone right. It reflects on the difficult issues sport continues to face.
