Sinopse

Every language has its sports-related phrases: in English one communicates through metaphors originating in boxing, horse-racing, cricket and even fencing. Why do Argentinians almost exclusively express themselves through football?
 
Dame Bola takes us on a journey through the many intriguing words, phrases and concepts used by Argentinians not only in their football but also in everyday society. The book explores identity and the inextricable link between football and life. Enjoy a deep dive into the cultural, historical and linguistic context of football terminology and the concepts unique to the Argentinian beautiful – and sometimes not so beautiful – game.

    Fencing is a centuries-old discipline that has evolved from a martial art into a modern sport. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where swordplay was both a practical skill for survival and a symbol of honor. Early records indicate that Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans practiced forms of sword combat, blending utility with ritualistic significance. 
    During the Middle Ages, fencing became integral to European culture as knights and warriors used swords in battle and duels to resolve disputes. These confrontations emphasized honor and personal defense, laying the groundwork for fencing as an art form. The development of the rapier in the 16th century marked a turning point. This lighter, more versatile weapon shifted the focus from brute force to precision and technique. Alongside the rapier, the introduction of treatises, such as the Italian master Ridolfo Capo Ferro’s Gran Simulacro, formalized the study of fencing into a structured discipline. 
    The Renaissance saw fencing flourish as a sophisticated practice. It moved away from battlefield combat to the courts and academies of Europe, where nobility engaged in dueling as a way to showcase their skill and status. Italian and Spanish fencing schools rose to prominence, emphasizing the importance of footwork, blade control, and strategy. These principles remain central to modern fencing.

    Growing up, Muggsy Bogues was always told he should do something else, anything besides basketball. He never acknowledged his many doubters except to prove them spectacularly wrong. Twenty years after receiving his first basketball as a toddler, he stood proud—at five-foot-three—as the starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. From the East Baltimore playground courts where he earned his nickname by muggin' opponents for possession of the ball to Dunbar High School where he excelled alongside future NBA players, Bogues set the tone in his early years for the great heights he'd reach professionally. In this new autobiography, Bogues delves deep into his life and career, reflecting on legendary battles with Michael Jordan, John Stockton, and other generational stars of ’80s and ’90s hoops. He shares far-ranging anecdotes from playoff runs in Charlotte, filming Space Jam, and even watching a young Steph Curry grow up. Conversational and clear-sighted, this is a story of uncompromising vision and fleet-footed determination during a golden era for the NBA.
