A timely, unbiased look at the positive and negative effects of
school-sponsored sports on the American education system. At a time
when sports coverage inundates the airwaves, when coaches are
routinely among the highest-paid school employees, and when
professional sports recruiters are increasingly focusing on high
school students, Sports and Education offers a balanced,
thought-provoking look at a deep-cutting issue. Is it time for the
United States to mirror a number of other industrialized countries
and remove sports from educational settings, as many education and
athletic professionals have suggested? Sports and Education
challenges many long-held assumptions and examines all viewpoints
surrounding this question. The result is a clear-eyed,
research-supported look at both the positive and the negative
impact of school-sponsored athletics on the participants, their
nonparticipating classmates, parents, coaches, fans, educators, and
school boards. A comprehensive introduction provides the framework
for an in-depth presentation of the most frequently debated issues
related to sport as an educational aspect of society A chronology
details the evolution of sport and education with topics such as
the Olympic games, sport in formal educational settings, and when
specific sports were established at the professional level
