What are the consequences of such violence for the participants of this sport and for the entertainment culture in which it exists? This book brings together scholars and sport commentators to examine the relationship between American football, violence and the larger relations of power within contemporary society. From high school and college to the NFL, Football, Culture, and Power analyses the social, political and cultural imprint of America's national pastime. The NFL's participation in and production of hegemonic masculinity, alongside its practices of racism, sexism, heterosexism and ableism, provokes us to think deeply about the historical and contemporary systems of violence we are invested in and entertained by. This social scientific analysis of American football considers both the positive and negative power of the game, generating discussion and calling for accountability. It is fascinating reading for all students and scholars of sports studies with an interest in American football and the wider social impact of sport. 410 0$aRoutledge research in sport, culture and society ;$v66. 606 $aFootball$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aFootball$xSocial aspects 676 $a796.332 676 $a306.483 700 $aModiano$b Charles$4auth$01744400 702 $aLeonard$b David J$g(David Jason),$f1973- , 702 $aGeorge$b Kim$g(Kimberly), 702 $aDavis$b Wade 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831873803321 996 $aFootball, culture and power$94174385 997 $aUNINA
