A highly entertaining romp through sporting history’s best sins and greatest sinners.
WHERE THERE’S SPORT, THERE’S SINNING.
Name a global sports icon and there will be a sin or two. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Ronaldo – they’ve all committed their fair share of sins. And we’re not talking low-level transgressions like coveting your neighbour’s servant or his ox (as appealing as that might be). No, this is about the seven deadly sins:
SLOTH The gateway sin
LUST The fun sin – until you get caught
WRATH The road rage of sins
GREED Doing bad things to get more things
PRIDE Self-love, just not the lust one
GLUTTONY Fun until the hangover, or your pants no longer fit
ENVY Feeling bad because someone else is good
Titus O’Reily leads us into the temptations of sportspeople across the globe, from elite cricket, ice hockey, NFL and baseball through to lower-league soccer and competitive eating. We meet the players, mascots and administrators whose sins over the decades have been absurd, unwise, inspired, reckless, or all of the above.
One thing’s for certain: sinning is never boring.
