Sports have made an enduring impact on the social world in which we all live. It is a taken for granted aspect of our everyday lives whether that entails watching “Sportscenter” five times in one day or noticing that every single major newspaper contains a“Sports” section that is as long if not longer than any other section. Yet there is more to sport than just what we see on a daily basis. The organization of the sports we play and the sports we love is a reflection of the organization of society, thus by critically studying sports we will gain a greater understanding of society.
