| Description | Introduction Over time, the names “Fighting Irish,” “Celtics,” and other symbolic remnants of Gaelic influence have become deeply embedded in the popular imagination of American sporting culture. Although often viewed as colorful amusements practiced within immigrant neighborhoods of the city, athletic pursuits represent a significant yet complex chapter in the story of Irish America. It is a tale that spans the rude and all too frequently brutal world of the nineteenth-century prize ring; the continuing practice of traditional sports within the urban remnants of Gaelic ethnic enclaves; and the outstanding accomplishments by Irish Americans at the pinnacles of sporting endeavor: the Olympic Games, the practice, ownership and business of the professional sports arena, and intercollegiate athletics.1 Book Name: The Routledge History of American Sport |
