DESCRIPTION:Announcing the Bay Area tour of\npolitical sportswriter and author Dave 
 Zirin\nfeaturing his new book\nWelcome to the Terrordome\n\n"In 
 sportswriting, attitude is easy. But David Zirin's also got razor \nsmarts, 
 rapier wit, and most of all, rebel's large heart. After you\nread him, 
 you'll never see sports the same way again". – Jeff Chang, \nauthor, 
 Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip Hop Generation\n\n***\n\nWed, 
 July 11 – 7pm\nCody's\nFourth Street\n1730 Fourth Street, 
 Berkeley\nsponsored by:\nCody’s Books and Haymarket 
 Books\nwww.haymarketbooks.org\n\n\n“WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME.”\nPublic 
 Enemy’s 1989 hip-hop anthem was a call to arms against a world  \n— and 
 a popular culture — gone mad. A real Terrordome emerged in the \nNew 
 Orleans Superdome in the horrifying aftermath of Hurricane \nKatrina—a 
 gruesome collision of sports and politics as thousands sat \nstranded in a 
 sports arena where most could never have afforded even \nthe cheapest 
 ticket. Today the “Terrordome” is a twenty-first century \nsports  
 world that is frightening, ridiculous, horrifying, and \ninspiring…all 
 before the next commercial break. You’ll find heroes and \nvillains. 
 You’ll find oppression and protest. And you’ll find an \nengaging and 
 provocative look at the world of sports like no other.\n\n“Energetic, 
 engaging, passionate, optimistic— and angry at all the \nright things, 
 Dave Zirin has established himself as perhaps the best\nyoung sportswriter 
 today. If you’re a sports fan, you'll love this \nbook. If you’re 
 politically active, you’ll love this book. If you’re a \npolitically 
 active sports fan, you’ve found your bible.” – Katrina \nvanden 
 Heuvel, editor and publisher, the Nation\n\n"You have to read Dave Zirin to 
 believe him and if you read him you \nwill believe him." Jack 
 McCallum,senior writer Sports Illustrated\n"David Zirin is the best young 
 sportswriter in America because he's the \nthe one who understands the x's 
 and o's, can arrange them vividly and\nshow us what they mean in a world 
 spinning out of control." – Robert \nLipsyte\n\nDavid Zirin is the author 
 of the widely acclaimed book "What's My Name \nFool?" (Haymarket Books) and 
 writer of the weekly column\n"Edge of Sports". He is a regular columnist 
 for the Nation and Slam \nmagazines,and has appeared as a sports 
 commentator on\nESPN TV and radio, CNBC, WNBC, Democracy Now!, Air America,
