Review by Kelsey Allen
One popular thicket for thousands of boys each year is football -- an obsession in every part of the country, from the beaches of Key West to the all-dirt playing field in Juneau, Alaska. In Football America: Celebrating Our National Passion the game is explored in all its guises, from a kids' tag football game to the mother of all contests, the Super Bowl.
There's a certain amount of excess evident here: fierce rivalries, huge crowds, giant tailgate parties, over-the-top fanwear. The photographs are at once epic and intimate, capturing the emotion and people who love the game. Football is definitely passionate, definitely American, and in this book, definitely celebrated.
