This text offers a compact yet comprehensive treatment of sport in North American society. Exploring a wide range of topics, the authors analyze and, in turn, demythologize sport. This method promotes an understanding of how a sociological perspective differs from common-sense perceptionsabout sport and society, helping students understand sport in a new way.
