Ignite Classroom Discussion ""Right Off The Bat"" Sport Sociology:
10 Questions fuses sociological theories and concepts (mirrored
with experiences from athletes and scholars of sport) to give
students an applicable skill in applying the sociological
imagination to classic and contemporary events of sport. The
publication provides empirical and uniquely sociological insights
into the relationships between sports and societal forces of
gender, ethnicity, religion, the economy and other institutions.
Sport Sociology: 10 Questions: emphasizes various positive and
negative aspects of sport in society through commonly asked
questions, such as: ""Does sport build community?; ""Should college
athletes be paid?""; ""What is the impact of women's sport on
society?""; ""Are sports mascots racist?"" concentrates on American
sporting life in addition to highlighting select international
aspects of sport (e.g. the Olympics, international sporting
events). integrates brief essays on popular sports movies in each
chapter that illustrate sociological concepts and theories in a fun
and accessible way. challenges conventional notions of what sport
is and is not within the sociological and societal context in which
they are played by including a quirky collection of alternative and
unusual sporting and recreational pursuits from chess-boxing, to
the sport of wife carrying, to modern day jousting, to competitive
video gaming.
