DeMaurice has written a terrific and insightful book....

TURF WARS: The Fight for the Soul of America’s Game 
More than just a story of labor battles and legal fights, TURF WARS situates the NFL’s controversies within a larger cultural and historical framework, revealing how the league’s meteoric rise reflects America’s own struggles with race, power, and economic disparity. 

DeMaurice is the ultimate insider - for fourteen years, he led the NFLPA through some of the league’s most contentious crises—including Colin Kaepernick’s protests, Deflategate, a lockout, and two collective bargaining agreements—standing as the players’ fiercest advocate against a system designed to silence them. 

Now, for the first time, Smith pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the league and the billion-dollar machine that profits off its athletes while keeping them in check.
