The cultural impact of sport on a nation is not slight. Famous for a Time explores a number of important, if not well remembered, Canadian athletes and the sports they played to help explain the nations complicated history, sporting and otherwise. It is an exploration that reveals the socio-cultural trends that have shaped Canada since Confederation. Through the prism of some exceptional athletes, the prevailing attitudes of many Canadians about class, race, masculinity, femininity, and national identity are laid bare. Here, from the sidelines, we learn how these attitudes have changed or not, as the case may be over time. From team sports such as lacrosse, baseball, and cricket to Canadas cycling craze, track and field, and boxing, each chapter offers insight into an important aspect of the nations narrative. The winners and losers of Canadas games simply mirror the larger questions that have faced Canadian society across three centuries.
