Read This: God Save the Fan


Anyone who follows sports blogging knows the name Will Leitch. His rise from lowly sports fan to king of the blogging universe has become well known to all since his move from editor/creator of Deadspin to New York Magazine.

His book, God Save the Fan, is a smart collection of sports essays about players, coaches, owners, the media and fan. His rants about ESPN and capitalist owners can shift the focus of even the most well read sports fans out there. He reveals the real evils in sports and why you should strive to be no more than a fan.

I gurantee you won't agree with all of his essays but there is no doubt that you a couple will hit close to home. I also promise you that Leitch will make you realize that you actually hate watching the Olympics.
