How Should We Theorize Sport in a Capitalist Patriarchy?

Abstract

Although materialist analyses of sport have been helpful insofar as they sort out the intricacies of class, they have been of much less assistance in discussions of gender. The problem is a production bias, which means a structuralist model of capitalist production relations within which gender relations are examined. The analysis of the patriarchy/ capitalism relationship must go beyond a mere encompassing of gender issues within a fundamentally unchanged materialism. Until this happens, there will be little real understanding of the social and symbolic significance of sport.
