Here at last is a book for women who love
professional sports that is at once smart and saucy, deep
and dishy. It’s not a book for women who want to impress
their husbands or boyfriends. It’s not a book that gets all
worked up over Title IX or Mia Hamm or the virtues of the
WNBA. And it’s not a book with a pink cover.
In
short, the joy and passion of following pro sports is too
often eclipsed by an emphasis on factoids and statistics,
and here, finally, is the antidote. GameFace: The
Kick-Ass Guide for Women Who Love Pro Sports by Erica
Boeke and Chris De Benedetti captures the action and drama
of pro sports -- both on the field and off -- from scandals
to tailgating and from thugs to heroes.
GameFace
is also packed with never-seen-before lists and tips
including:
*How to get into the pit at a NASCAR
race
*Sports Wives & Girlfriends Hall of Fame &
Shame
*Best & Worst Performances of The Star
Spangled Banner
*Best Ballpark
Eats
*Best Sports Movies & TV Shows
*Athletes &
Teams That Give Us Hope
GameFace will inspire
female fans everywhere to regale stat-spewing guys at water
coolers and sports bars with mesmerizing tales of thrilling
victories, agonizing defeats, and the magical (and sometimes
hilarious) moments that only pro sports can deliver.
