In Sport Realism: A Law-Inspired Theory of Sport, Aaron Harper
defends a new theory of sport-sport realism-to show how rules,
traditions, and officiating decisions define the way sport is
played. He argues that sport realism, broadly inspired by elements
of legal realism, best explains how players, coaches, officials,
and fans participate in sport. It accepts that decisions in sport
will derive from a variety of reasons and influences, which are
taken into account by participants who aim to predict how officials
will make future rulings. Harper extends this theoretical work to
normative topics, applying sport realist analysis to numerous
philosophical debates and ethical dilemmas in sport. Later chapters
include investigations into rules disputes, strategic fouls,
replay, and makeup calls, as well as the issue of cheating in
sport. The numerous examples and case studies throughout the book
provide a wide-ranging and illuminating study of sport, ranging
from professional sports to pick-up games.
