具体描述
Marc Perelman pulls no punches in this succinct and searing broadside, assailing the ‘recent form of barbarism’ that is the global sporting event. Forget the Olympics and consider, under Perelman’s guidance, the ledger of inequities maintained by such supposedly harmless games.
They have provided a smokescreen for the forcible removal of ‘undesirables’; aided governments in the pursuit of racist agendas; affirmed the hypocrisy of drug-testing in an industry where doping is more an imperative than an aberration; and developed the pornographic hybrid that Perelman dubs ‘sporn’, a further twist in our corrupt obsession with the body.
Drawing examples from the modern history of the international sporting event, Perelman argues that today’s colosseums, upheld as examples of ‘health’, have become the steamroller for a decadent age fixated on competition, fame and elitism.

奥林匹克宪章被誉为是人类的第二本圣经。无数人无止境地断章取义地引用里面的有的没的的句子。与Holy Bible不同的是，这本圣经，在世界范围来说，真正从头读到尾的人都不多。更讽刺的是，违反这部宪章精神的运动，就是顾拜旦推崇的现代奥林匹克运动会。当然，根据作者的思路，还包括其他的大型比赛，如世界杯，洲际杯，国内联赛等等。推荐这本书给希望换一个角度看世事的朋友阅读。如果作者的观点和你相左，切记保持不怒。世界就是如此多姿多彩。
