The book examines a period when football underwent a seismic and
ineradicable change brought about by the determination of the
Victorian Football League to wrest control of the game's
development and destiny from the various state controlling bodies
and the Australian Football Council. Whereas the VFL had initially
been the first among equals, it gradually assumed the role of the
sole and undisputed guardian of the code. The AFC, once football's
ostensible national controlling body, became an irrelevance.
Instead of a national sport with a national remit we ended up with
an expanded VFL with a majority of Victorian member clubs
supplemented by a token sprinkling of teams from interstate. Such
teams were in most cases created from scratch and could in no way
be said to derive directly from the states' unique and distinctive
football traditions and culture. For some, it was a brave new
world, but evolution does not inevitably entail improvement.
This book provides a definitive and comprehensive contribution to
the expanding body of research related to sport/physical culture
and the COVID-19 global pandemic. By examining the generative
complexities that simultaneously link and shape sport/physical
culture and COVID, the book develops a collection of multi-faceted
readings. The anthology is framed by an ontological understanding
prefigured on relationality, liminality, and perpetual becoming.
The contributions theoretically, methodologically and
representationally explore COVID-sport assemblages as a dynamic and
diverse "ad hoc grouping"of interpenetrating affecting elements,
encompassing material and expressive forms, human and non-human,
animate and inanimate matter. The book will be of interest to
advanced undergraduate and students and scholars of kinesiology,
sociology of sport, critical studies of the body, physical
education, sport and social issues, public health, physical
cultural studies, sociology, foreign policy studies, and
international studies.
Sports play a significant role in society, as they are a multilevel
field of interest. Nonetheless, a major problem that has been
undermining the field is the rise of issues surrounding integrity.
Indeed, major scandals of corruption have been disclosed, and they
have challenged the effectiveness of sports institutions. As a
result, it is vital to explore how to navigate the complex
landscape of legal and ethical issues. Law, Ethics, and Integrity
in the Sports Industry is an essential reference source that
discusses the legitimacy and integrity of sports institutions by
focusing on the social, economic, and political influence of
sports. Featuring research on topics such as global sports
governance, legal and ethical implications, and the validity of
e-sports, this book is ideally designed for scholars interested in
institutional aspects of sports and ethics, academicians,
researchers, advanced-level students, and officials with a broad
interest in sports seeking coverage on the institutional aspects of
sports and ethics.
