A kid today could get quite an education just from watching SportsCenter every morning. Medically, he could tell how long Jeremy Shockey's broken fibula will take to heal. Financially, he could explain the value of Alex Rodriguez's contract, including bonus clauses and adjustment for inflation. Legally, he could detail the various state and federal laws under which Michael Vick has been indicted. But what he couldn't tell you—what watching SportsCenter doesn't tell you—is the complex relationship that sports has with politics. For that, he'd have to read Dave Zirin.
