We live in a culture in which sports play an important role. The growth in broadcasting, merchandising, iconography and the commercialization of sports has led to an increasing interest in the emerging field of sports culture.
This book examines individual issues, people, artefacts, events and organizations in their historical, social and cultural contexts. Coverage is wide-ranging with more than 170 entries, - including aggression, Bosman Case, corruption, drugs, eating disorders, Fever Pitch, Field of Dreams, Michael Jordan, Don King, left-handedness, nationalism, paternity, racism, Raging Bull, rivalries, tobacco. The book also includes suggestions for further reading to help with further study, and a comprehensive index.
