Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to
inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else
does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can
create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful
than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the
face of all types of discrimination.
This shows that sports are dynamic social and cultural activities that
attract attention from sociologists and others who study society.
Studying sports as social phenomena helps us understand the ways
that social class, gender, race and ethnicity, sexuality, and physical
ability influence our everyday lives.Sports are also linked with the
organization and dynamics of family life.
