KN 327 - Social Issues in Sport (3)

Sport has become a global Institution.  Professional sports affect national and local economies.  International sport thrives on an inherent nationalism built into its structure, publicity, and individual/team performances. Media influenced sport participation has also impacted interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics, and led to the commercialization of youth sports in the United States.  By employing evidence-based social theories through a media lens participants examine the relationship between key sociocultural constraints and sport; to better understand and appreciate the development of sport - as both a part and reflection of the development of society.
