conflict theory

sees economic interests as shaping the world. Those who have power exploit those who do not; change is inevitable, and struggle on the part of repressed classes is expected. Societal analysis sport benefits individuals and organizations who hold power, to the detriment of participants and members of the working class. Athletes should have more control over their sport destiny and the quality of their experience. Relies too heavily on economic factors and ignores the importance of race, ethnicity, gender, and age. Underestimates the effect of groups that empower individuals in a capitalist society. Tends to overlook participation and recreational sport for healthy living.

Sport Through the Ages

Early Greeks used it to celebrate and honor the gods. Spartans: war skills Athenians: along with academics and music, to develop a person holistically. Early Egyptian and North and Central America: had games with balls.

figurational theory

Emphasizes connections between people and their interdependence. Examines change over time. Historical research. Sport exists as part of society and can be viewed historically and over the long term. Sport tends to focus on traditional masculinity and male power. Developments in sport are seen in the context of global processes. Devotes little attention to current issues because of its focus on the long term, thus reducing the urgency to press for changes. Has been mostly popular in Europe in mature societies but rarely used in North America.

Coaching Males and Females

Females and males look for similar qualities in a coach. Females are more motivated to improve their own performance. Males are more motivated to beat others.

America's Favorite Sports to Watch

Football 37%; basketball 11%; baseball 9%; soccer 7%

Sport and Media Evolution

Discuss the development of sport

Leagues would try to figure out who's who. As they did so media rights would come in and facilities would be created. Other leagues would spring up and the two or more organizations would spar until everyone realized that wasn't going to work. Then the leagues would collude. Usually new teams or championships would also be created from these collusions.

Amateurs vs Professionalism

People liked the idea of playing sports solely for the purpose of enjoyment or for the body. The idea of getting paid to do what you're doing was foreign. However, that thought-process was constantly under attack when coaches began getting paid. Professional athletes started to appear, sponsored and playing for leagues.

Coach influence

People such as Bobby Knight influenced the way coaches do their jobs by having coaches who were in your face and very hard on you. They also come into contact with hundreds of people, and they can set up programs. They set the tone of the organization. They influence and touch many people's lives, the parents, spectators, players, peers, bosses, the other team...

Sponsors of Youth Sport in Broad Categories

Public Community and park programs community organizations church organizations nonprofit organizations corporate sponsors commercial sport and fitness clubs private sport organizations USOPC

Sport and the Economy

Sport is a business with a corporate structure. Athletes became workers; the team and the bottom line are emphasized. Industrialization led to sport consumption.

Sport Participants

Sport participants play an active role in the sport or activity. Participants are more likely to be spectators than non-participants—but the reverse—that spectators are more likely to be participants than non-participants— is not necessarily true. Fitness-oriented activities are more popular than competition activities. Organized play attracts more participants than casual or pickup games.

Current Trends in Spectator Sports

Sport watching has grown steadily over the years Availability of sport on television has contributed to that growth. Accurately tracking indirect spectators through television or the Internet is difficult.

Does society influence sport, vice versa, or both? Use examples

The answer would be both. Sport influenced society by paving the way for minorities to become more accepted in American culture, such as Jackie Robinson. Society influenced sport with things such as football, when people continued to dislike the violence. Also, how society saw women greatly affected how long it took for women to become a part of sport.

Ideology of Sport through media

The media emphasize certain sport-related behaviors that affect the next generation of athletes and spectators. Owned and operated by •Comcast (NBC, NBC Sports, Golf, NHL) •Disney (ESPN family of stations, ABC) •News Corp (Fox, Fox Sports) •National Amusements (CBS Sports, NFL Sports) •AT&T, Time-Warner (Turner Sports, MLB, NBA)

Influence of Coaches: Positive

consistency over time, innovative training methods and strategies, positive leadership (e.g. democratic), athletes' loyalty, education, and integrity

Boxing

did well for a while, was a way for the poor to go up the ranks. However, television destroyed boxing in some ways. First, it pushed for players who were showy because anything less could not be seen on the old tv's. Two, later on, the boxing world made a mistake and made their content less available. Along with there being so many different leagues and championships, interest began to fade.

functionalist theory

emphasizes maintenance of the status quo and equilibrium. Change happens only gradually, to adjust to conditions. Quantitative survey research. Sport is a valuable social institution that helps build character and instill values. Competition is valuable, and high performance is a critical outcome of sport participation. Tends to overemphasize the positive consequences of sport while ignoring people who are disenfranchised or overlooked, such as women, people in lower socioeconomic classes, certain racial groups, and people with a physical or intellectual disability

History and Benefit of Youth Sport

expanding from working-class activity (before WWII) to include all social classes Little League baseball: 1939 geared toward boys until 1970s Evolved from "play" to sport. Title IX 1972 increased girls' participation Family and societal factors affect popularity: both parents working outside home, fear of child predators, safe haven for inner-city kids, specialized training

current status of sport sociology

most large universities offer courses such as sport and society, social issues and sport, or sport sociology

Problem with Relying on Volunteers

need is great, so leagues welcome volunteers... results in experienced, untrained coaches. Even with training, turnover rate is high. Adds only short-term benefit to knowledge base and then new coaches are needed.

Inactive kids by household income

overall average: 17.1 under 25,000: 33.4 25k-49k: 24.5 50k-74k: 17.4 50k-74k: 17.4 75k-99k: 15 100k:9.9

Coaching problems

overwhelming autonomy. Will sometimes use their power to pressure players into doing things that they don't want to or shouldn't be doing.

Sport as monopoly

owners control competition and sales; leagues collude to eliminate new leagues; drafted players can negotiate with only one team; new or expansion teams have to pay large fees and need approval to relate; owners cannot individually sell merchandise

Work

physical or mental effort needed to perform a task it is often connected to earning a living professional athletes work when they are paid to play sport high-performance athletes may experience sport as work even if they are not paid some level of college athletics, e-sports, pro sports

Sport Pyramid

provides a helpful way to think of sport/four elements of human activity play, games, sport, work

How sport affects the media

Recreational Sport as business

recreation activity increases with increased leisure time. Sales of sport equipment in United States average 44 billion year. Leagues earn participation fees. Communities use funds to maintain public recreational areas.

survey

research conducted through questionaires

content

Categories of Youth Sport Development Programs

stand-alone sport and physical activity programs at-risk prevention programs academic enrichment programs, development programs, and sport programs

sport sociology

study of sport and physical activity in the context of social conditions and culture (International Sociology of Sport Association/North American Society for the Sociology of Sport)

social theories

used to examine trends in sport through a theoretical lens allows us to draw conclusions on how sport reflects the larger culture help us organize our thoughts about a particular issue help us describe existing social situations and analyze them from various perspectives involve formulating beliefs based on the findings analyzing sport through social theory helps us to consider the larger picture of how sport exists in society

societal analysis

uses social theories to examine life from a social point of view

critical theory

views life as complex and diverse. Order is obtained through struggles over ideology and power. The goal is a better life for all citizens. Sport does not simply mirror society; it provides opportunities to change society. Societal analysis. Sport must change in order to be fair to everyone, more democratic, and sensitive to diversity. Sport can help us improve our outlook on gender and sexual orientation, physical and mental disability, physical talent, race, and ethnicity. Critical theories are varied and sometimes confusing. They tend to encourage resistance to the status quo in order to protect special interests when doing so may disadvantage the majority of a group or culture. They work better for specific cases than for forming an overall ideology.

feminist theories

views social life as based on a patriarchal ideology and controlled by men in powerful positions. Argues that feminine virtues are ignored or undervalued. Questions the traditional categories of masculine and feminine. Quantifiable questionnaires, societal analysis, ethnography, and content research. Females lack equal opportunity in sport and are underrepresented in coaching and leadership positions. Traditional masculine traits of competitiveness and aggressiveness conflict with traditional feminine traits such as sensitivity and nurturing. Weakness are similar to those of other categories. Also doesn't address other factors that affect gender, such as age, race, social class, and disability.

interactionist theory

views the world from the bottom up rather than from the bottom down. Focuses on relationships between people. People make conscious decisions about how to respond and act toward the outside world. Qualitative ethnographic research. People choose to participate in sport in various ways, and the quality of the athlete's experience is important. Sport organizations should be open and democratic. Youth sport should fit the needs and desires of kids rather than those of parents and coaches. Focuses on the individual to the exclusion of the overall structure of sport. Does not address issues of power in sport as critical theories do.

interviews

with individuals or small groups (called focus groups); use more in-depth questioning and can elicit unexpected answers to open-ended questions
