4.0 out of 5 stars Sectarianism as a multi-million dollar business., May 18, 2001
By 
This review is from: The Old Firm: Sectarianism, Sport and Society in Scotland (Paperback)
Bill Murray has scored big time depicting the history of two football rivals in Scotland and how they mirror the attitudes of society as a whole. This book depicts the hatres, bigotries and misconceptions portrayed by both clubs. Murray also shows us how each club has parlayed their sectarian beliefs into a multi-million dollar business, not just in Scotland but throughout the world. And through it all both clubs deep down realize that each one could not exist without the other. I highly recommend this book not only to fanatics of football but to history, economic and sociology fanatics as well.
