      ABSTRACT

      We live in a culture in which sports play an important role. The growth in broadcasting, merchandising, iconography and the commercialization of sports has led to an increasing interest in the emerging field of sports culture.
      This book examines individual issues, people, artefacts, events and organizations in their historical, social and cultural contexts. Coverage is wide-ranging with more than 170 entries including:
      aggression
      Bosman Case
      corruption
      drugs
      eating disorders
      Fever Pitch
      Field of Dreams
      Michael Jordan
      Don King
      left-handedness
      nationalism
      paternity
      racism
      Raging Bull
      rivalries
      tobacco
      The book also includes suggestions for further reading to help with further study, and a comprehensive index.
