Good sports non-fiction recommendations?

I’ve read Meat Market, Legacy, Swing Your Sword, and now reading Republicans Buy Sneakers Too. Doesn’t really have to be a true autobiography. Just prefer non-fiction.

The Way if the Fight by George St. Pierre is worth reading. So is Why We Fight by Josh Rosenblatt (if you can stand some minor political bs).

“Not a Game” by Kent Babb if you’re at all interested in Allen Iverson was a solid read.

Some soccer related ones on my shelf are:
Seeing Red by Graham Poll - English soccer/FIFA referee for ~20 years. I found it interesting as a ref myself. He was a ref during a time when they tried making refs a full-time job.
Among the Thugs by Bill Buford - Journalist went deep inside English/European soccer hooliganism between 1982-1990. Found himself in some pretty hairy situations.
Love & Blood: at the World Cup with the footballers, fans, and freaks by Jamie Trecker - He went to the 2006 World Cup in Germany and writes about the insanity he saw over the month long tournament.
Bloody Confused! by Chuck Culpepper - American sports journalist that was getting burned out covering sports over here for 15 years. Decides to move to England, attends a soccer match (he doesn't know much about the sport and was never a fan), gets hooked, decides to go to every game Portsmouth plays, and writes about the journey over the course of a season.
Soccernomics by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski - More of an analytical look at several topics around the sport.
