Summary Professional football today is an $8 billion sports entertainment industry - and the most popular spectator sport in America, with designs on expansion across the globe. This field-level view of the National Football League (NFL) since 1960 looks closely at the development of the sport and at the image of the NFL and its unique place in American life. New to this edition is an analysis of the offseason labour negotiations and their potential effects on the future of the sport, and an account of how the NFL is dealing with the latest research on concussions and head injuries
