The "Big Three's" Takeover of Sport
Author: EARLE F. ZEIGLER Ph.D. LL.D. D.Sc.Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1426972199
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
In the The BigThrees Takeover of Sport, Dr. Zeigler argues that such a take-over of competitive sport by capitalism, nationalism, and democracy has become a very serious problem that gradually became a crisis as the twentieth century wore on. The main purpose of this bookto show that the commandeering, or take-over, of sport by the conglomerate of three, enumeratedhas created a situation where competitive sport has been increasingly degraded to a destructive professional morality espousing a mentality that screams: Winning is now not the most important thing in sport; it is the only thing! If indeed such is the case, this means that we must move now to assess the evolving situation more carefully than ever before
Defending the American Way of Life

Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Winner, 2019 NASSH Book Award, Anthology. The Cold War was fought in every corner of society, including in the sport and entertainment industries. Recognizing the importance of culture in the battle for hearts and minds, the United States, like the Soviet Union, attempted to win the favor of citizens in nonaligned states through the soft power of sport. Athletes became de facto ambassadors of US interests, their wins and losses serving as emblems of broader efforts to shield American culture—both at home and abroad—against communism. In Defending the American Way of Life, leading sport historians present new perspectives on high-profile issues in this era of sport history alongside research drawn from previously untapped archival sources to highlight the ways that sports influenced and were influenced by Cold War politics. Surveying the significance of sports in Cold War America through lenses of race, gender, diplomacy, cultural infiltration, anti-communist hysteria, doping, state intervention, and more, this collection illustrates how this conflict remains relevant to US sporting institutions, organizations, and ideologies today.
Race, Culture, and the Revolt of the Black Athlete
Author: Douglas HartmannPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226318554
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Ever since 1968 a single iconic image of race in American sport has remained indelibly etched on our collective memory: sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos accepting medals at the Mexico City Olympics with their black-gloved fists raised and heads bowed. But what inspired their protest? What happened after they stepped down from the podium? And how did their gesture impact racial inequalities? Drawing on extensive archival research and newly gathered oral histories, Douglas Hartmann sets out to answer these questions, reconsidering this pivotal event in the history of American sport. He places Smith and Carlos within the broader context of the civil rights movement and the controversial revolt of the black athlete. Although the movement drew widespread criticism, it also led to fundamental reforms in the organizational structure of American amateur athletics. Moving from historical narrative to cultural analysis, Hartmann explores what we can learn about the complex relations between race and sport in contemporary America from this episode and its aftermath.
