This innovative collection argues that modern sport can be
characterized by problematic power relations linked to violence,
harm, deviance, and punishment. On the one hand, sport is a
mainstay of community building, an expression of solidarity, and a
means to mental and social health. On the other, there is the star
player who commits sexual violence, the trans athlete whose
achievements are dismissed as fraudulent, or the racist nationalism
of the impassioned sports fan. Power Played illuminates how
criminal/judicial discourses and practices reinforce social
inequalities and blows the whistle on the harm, violence, and
exploitation embedded in sport.
