网友对ESPN: The Uncensored History的评论
Very good book from a history perspective, providing ample information about the many factors that collided at the right place and time to allow the formation of ESPN. Almost too much information, in some respects. Once ESPN gets underway, though, the history aspect takes a backseat to the various (well-supported) allegations made against ESPN, largely misogyny and sexism. Though important in their own right, and in the context of ESPN's history, perhaps they were featured more prominently than they deserved in this book. Also, significant criticism was leveled by Keith Olbermann, the talented former anchor. While admittedly he provided numerous good quotes and strong counterarguments to ESPN policies and practices, he may have been featured too prominently in the book as well. It also is somewhat suspect featuring him so prominently, when he has such an obvious ax to grind with the organization, as well as a somewhat checkered past himself. All in all though, a very entertaining and informative read, especially for those of us with a strong interest in ESPN. After this, you probably won't ever look at the Worldwide Leader the same again (but at least you'll understand how they're capable of putting out godawful crap like "Who's Now").
I did find it got a bit boring in the middle and it started to drift along. That said I did find it interesting to see how it was started, how soon the original founders were kicked out and also the extent to which their was a sexist culture
