  • Sociology 248 D
    Sociology 248 D. Randall Smith The Sociology of Sport Davison 037 – Douglass Campus Spring 2017 [email protected] Overview: The primary purpose of this course is to investigate the institution of organized sport from a sociological perspective. The course follows a common approach to the Sociology of Sports by not only viewing sport as a microcosm of society but also as a site where society is created, reproduced and changed. That is, sports are social constructions and thus arenas for the study of sociological processes. This leads us to focus upon "the structure, processes and problems of sport as an institutionalized social system." In particular we will look at how common sociological concepts such as stratification, discrimination, norms, mobility, violence, and social structure are evidenced in professional and amateur athletics. Given the focus of the course, there are a number of topics that we will not cover this semester or only address briefly. These include rules for playing the various games that constitute "Sport" and the strategies for succeeding in various sports. This is not a "How To" course. While we will look at why winning and losing may be important for stratifying the sports society, we won't investigate how to win. There are many popular myths surrounding sports, for example, that sport provides an avenue of mobility for disadvantaged youth. Some of these are only partially true or not true at all. A good way to determine the validity of such (mis)conceptions is to research the statements: The beliefs behind such myths can be traced to commonly held ideas about society and social processes, beliefs which require careful investigation.

  • Value and Benefits of the Sports Industry
    Value and benefits of the Sports industry Introduction Sports is an important sector of economic activity and spans medical treatment and rehabilitation, research and development, sports tourism, sales and trade of sport products, construction and maintenance of sports venues, organisation sports events, and marketing and advertising. It also creates various job and business opportunities (e.g. engineers and developers, coaches and sport doctors, sport journalists and commentators, retailers of sports goods and equipment, etc.). It is also part of the increasingly important leisure industry and as such, has broader benefits such as boosting productivity, individual and community development as well as reducing the burden of ill health on society. Additionally, it has far reaching implications on the global economy due to its close association with other sectors including education, real estate and tourism. Sports is ranked among the top mainstream activities in the economy. Value of the sports industry globally Using economic impact methodology, which are largely developed around the estimated number of spectators visiting an event from outside the local region, and the amount those visitors spend on accommodation, food and entertainment etc; the estimated size of the global sports industry was US$1.3 trillion in 2015 according to Plunkett Research Ltd. A study in 2014 by A.T. Kearney, found that the market for sports events (i.e. revenues for tickets, media rights and sponsorship) is worth close to US$80 billion. Between 2009 and 2013 there was an annual growth of 7 per cent, faster than the GDP of most countries. Moreover, the sports industry generates as much as US$700 billion annually or a 1 per cent of global GDP when sporting goods, apparel, equipment, and health and fitness spending is included.

  • Sport and the Sustainable Development Goals (Sdgs)
    SPORT AND THE An overview outlining the contribution of sport to the SDGs The United Nations have long recognized, advocated for and supported the important contribu- tions of sport to development and peace, with a significant record of General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions, UN treaties, Secretary-General’s reports and other guiding documents highlighting the unique potential of sport. The processes and milestones which led to the historic adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 were followed by the Sport for Development and Peace community with strong interest and a commitment to continue using sport as a unique tool to support this new global plan of action. As a result of joint efforts, particularly including UN Member States’ support to recognize the contribution of sport to the SDGs, Heads of State and Government and High Representatives declared in the Political Declaration for the new Agenda: Sport is also an important enabler of sustainable development. We recognize the grow- ing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect and the contributions it makes to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals and communities as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives (2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development A/RES/70/1, paragraph 37). This unprecedented recognition offers a compelling incentive and an unmissable opportunity for further joint efforts and action in the field Sport for Development and Peace. With the aspiration of leaving no one behind and maximizing the contribution of sport for a better and peaceful world, sport will continue advancing development as a powerful enabler of the SDGs, as it did for the preceding MDGs.
