Revue de presse

"The advantage of this book is that it allows the reader to see how one of the foremost professors in sports and business analyzed each event virtually as it happened. So this book will take you back over the past decade and consistently teach you something new about professional and college sports." Wordpress website "Very few academics treat sport as seriously as it deserves. And precious few of them keep their subject interesting. Andrew Zimbalist is royalty in this small kingdom." --Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization

"The bottom line on The Bottom Line? Definitely worth the money and time, even though it reprints work previously published. The author of several excellent books on baseball economics, Zimbalist is an indefatigable, seemingly ubiquitous commentator on the business of sports in the print and broadcast media...Readers will be informed by most of these opinion pieces and infuriated by others. But Zimbalist should not be ignored. Highly recommended." - CHOICE "The Bottom Line brings together some of the best articles that [Zimbalist] has written during the past 15 years. Like readers who find that their favorite novelist is also an expert short-story writer, those familiar with Zimbalist's books but not his op-ed pieces will see the same trenchant analysis and quick with in these essays...It is a collection worth reading and rereading." --The Journal of Sports Economics
