Many of our most dramatic social shifts have played out in sporting arenas: cricket and class mobility, rugby and regional rivalry, tennis and gender equality, golf and battles for land, boxing and race-relations. The sporting theatre has even accelerated radical change via heroes including independence fighters, suffragettes and Jewish bare-knuckle boxers crashing the established order. From jousting between kingdoms to the rise of the Commonwealth Games at the end of the imperial era, More Than a Game is the fascinating account of the games, players and audiences that have defined Britain's past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43280690905132,"sku":"9781529363289","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781529363289.jpg?v=1714637958","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781529363289","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
