Brown and O'Rourke have compiled a collection of ten qualitative
studies analyzing the narratives that surround the physical and
ritualistic activities of sport. Among the topics examined to
explore the storied relationship of sport and communication are
baseball, the WNBA, and soccer hooliganism. Americans love sports.
We play sports, watch sports, read about sports, listen to and talk
about sports. Brown and O'Rourke provide an introduction to the
study of the narratives that surround the physical and ritualistic
activities of sport. Ten critical analyses explore a range of
sports as diverse as baseball, whitewater rafting, and full-contact
fighting. Among the topics examined are the differences in the
broadcasts of NBA and WNBA games and the cultural roots of
hooliganism in British soccer. This is the only book of its kind to
offer a compilation of qualitative research in the area of sport
and communication. Faculty will find this to be an invaluable
resource for beginning (or continuing) their research in this area
and students will understand communication concepts explained in a
new way through the popular lens of sport.
