520 |a Sports have taken on tremendous importance in the world in which we live. Their social significance economic, political, and personal both nationally and internationally is unprecedented. What may not be so obvious on first blush is the sociological nature of sports. Sports offer one of the most visible public arenas for understanding the role that immortality plays in individual action, group dynamics, and with audiences and the media. Following a brief introduction to the sociology of sport, Leonard explores these dimensions of the sporting world through the idea of the postself how individuals regard themselves and want to be remembered by the public. From the individual psyche to the global arena of sports, this book features vivid examples and quotations from star athletes, coaches, and the media, offering poignant insights into the sporting world and about individuals and society.
