"Sports, Technology, and Madness" is the debut collection from Connor Groel, featuring pieces originally published in 2019. From the exploratory "Adapt or Die: Technology is Forever Altering Sports," to the speculative fiction story "An Overindulgence of Madness," the narrative-driven "Out of the Dawg House: The Story of the 2018 Cleveland Browns," and the over 20 articles which follow, "Sports, Technology, and Madness" provides a unique and compelling look at various aspects of the sports industry. Central to the collection are the questions of how the modern sports landscape has developed, how it may change in the future, and what steps we can take to create the best possible sporting environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling look at world of sports

Connor Groel's book, "Sports, Technology, and Madness: A Collection" will intrigue any sports enthusiast, be it traditional (football, baseball, basketball, soccer), niche (Nascar, poker, chess), or the more recent (gaming such as League of Legends and Go). He kept my full attention as he explained the massive impact technology has made, precipitating a need to change the way we play the game. He coaxed me into a thoughtful discussion with questions such as: "...how can women ever be expected to generate the same attention as men if they aren't given the same resources?" He provoked thought with arguments like, "...watching someone (or something) succeed to be interesting, the possibility of failure must exist," and he pressed me to consider "what if" in his fictional scenario of March Madness. In the end, I felt as I'd left a spirited conversation, informed, enlightened, and feeling much more enthusiastic about sports in general. Thank you, Mr. Groel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Sports Commentary
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020

Nice read if you like sports commentary. I especially liked the article on the NBA 3 point line. Being an old school fan of the balanced offenses like 70’s Lakers (2 classic guards West/Goodrich, power forward, dominant Center) it pointed out what we are missing. Though some like the new school shooting. Also appreciated the authors treatment of the A Luck retirement.
