Branden Buehler examines the media transformation of these once obscure management figures into esteemed experts and sporting idols. Moving from Moneyball and Football Manager to coverage of analytics gurus like Daryl Morey, Buehler shows how a fixation on managerial moves has taken hold across the entire sports media landscape. Buehler's chapter-by-chapter look at specific media forms illustrates different facets of the managerial craze while analyzing the related effects on what fans see, hear, and play. Throughout, Buehler explores the unsettling implications of exalting the management class and its logics, in the process arguing that sports media's managerial lionization serves as one of the clearest reflections of major material and ideological changes taking place across culture and society. Insightful and timely, Front Office Fantasies reveals how sports media moved the action from the field to the executive suite"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Mass media and sports $z United States. 650 0 $a Television broadcasting of sports $z United States. 650 0 $a Sports administration $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Sports administration $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 6 $a Medias et sports $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Emissions sportives televisees $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Sports $x Aspect social $x Aspect social $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Sports $x Aspect economique $x Aspect economique $z Etats-Unis. 650 7 $a Mass media and sports $2 fast 650 7 $a Television broadcasting of sports $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Buehler, Branden, 1986- $t Front office fantasies $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, [2023] $z 9780252055287 $w (DLC) 2023013092 830 0 $a Studies in sports media 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012445.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B938EBC2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
