Synopsis

This is the wild story of how Donald Trump capitalized on the Democrats’ growing disconnect with male voters -- told through the explosive culture war battles playing out in sports.
 
Democrats don’t have a Trump problem. They have a man problem. And Trump was just the guy to exploit it. Young men see the Democratic Party as anti-men, run by weak, low-testosterone beta males. And here’s the truth: Trump won with balls. And he won’t be the last Republican to do it. The 2024 red tsunami was led by men fed up with woke nonsense. Unless Democrats change fast, it’s only going to get worse for them.

This book breaks down how Trump used sports as his secret weapon to rack up votes. From the Lia Thomas controversy to Bud Light’s downfall, ESPN’s woke meltdown to his own assassination attempt—where he proved once again he’s a fighter—Trump seized these opportunities and played the game like a winner. And America’s men took notice.

Clay Travis doesn’t hold back. As the founder of Outkick, the co-host of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, and one of the most influential voices in sports and conservative media, he’s interviewed Trump more than ten times—including on Air Force One. Now, he’s bringing the unfiltered truth about why men turned on the Democrats—and why they’re never coming back.

Goodreads review by Neils on November 05, 2025

If you told January 1 2025 Neils that I would be rating a non fiction book 5 stars, and most likely in my top 5 book of the year--I would have said, You Crazy! But Clay Travis has so elequantly (with some spicy language thrown in) exposed how Woke America destroyed Sports, and Donald Trump used that......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on October 09, 2025

I don’t like reviews where the reviewer starts out talking about themselves and makes it about themselves. But bear with me. I live in the suburbs of Nashville. I remember listening to sports talk one day and some brash young guy is their guest, some former lawyer, named Clay Travis. He was a jerk. T......more

Goodreads review by John on November 26, 2025

Clay Travis’s Balls is the book sports fans have been waiting for—finally someone willing to say what ESPN, the corporate media, and the activist class refuse to admit. Travis walks readers through the parade of nonsense that derailed American sports culture: Bruce Jenner’s fake 2015 ESPY, the Micha......more

Goodreads review by Ted on November 16, 2025

Took me only about 2 days to read this book - it is short and quick. I pretty much agree with everything Clay Travis wrote in this book, he is accurate, has facts and figures to make his arguments, he tells you when he is opining, he tells you when he is telling facts - well-written. My only problem......more

Goodreads review by Keith on November 12, 2025

In his typical style, he astutely covers the sports-side of socio-political issues with concise accuracy and fun sarcasm. It is at times funny, at times somber, and wholly a joy to read! While some may find this one controversial, as he expertly points out, those that do are finally becoming few and......more
