Contemporary Issues in Sociology of Sport

Abstract

Contemporary Issues in Sociology of Sport includes an exploration of topics and themes that have received limited attention in other sociology of sport texts but have been long-standing social concerns, a review of the attitudes toward female athletes and the anti-homosexual phobias present in sport, an in-depth look at the impoverishment of children’s games in America, an overview of high school sport participation, a study of the challenges and benefits of the big-time collegiate sport experience, a critique of television’s impact on sport and its portrayal of gender and race, and a review of sport and globalization.
