When the Clash of Two Cultures Turns into a Hilarious Lovefest . . . Football, baseball, basketball, hockey—pro athletes revolt! Too many fights, too many problems, lousy image!

They could not apply fast enough. The annual Environmentalist Society Meeting, hosted by the Sarasota Environmentalist Society (S.E.S.), will be a surprise of a lifetime when the world of professional athletes collides with the world of professional environmentalists in an explosion of laughter. What happens next is worth the price of admission! Perfect for Fans of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey
