Reaching beyond the popular celebration of commercial gains often
associated with the proliferation of stadiums, events, and teams in
the city, Sporting Dystopias explores the role of sport in the
process of community building. Scholars from various fields,
including anthropology, cultural studies, history, marketing, media
studies, and sociology, examine the cultural, economic, and
political interplay of sport and the city. The book systematically
challenges the overwhelming claims of sport's benefit to the city
as it scrutinizes the various tensions inherent in the
relationship. Grounded in economic means, racial and ethnic
affiliation, and the contestation for space, sport is seen as
precipitating a broad range of human challenges.
