What draws fans to one game is often a mystery to fans of the other. Despite superficial differences, however, the business and culture of these sports share more in common than meets the eye. This is the first in-depth, cross-cultural comparison of these two great pastimes and the megabusinesses that they have become. The authors illustrate how the different traditions of each sport have generated different possibilities for their commercial organization and exploitation
