Some Key Terms for today

• Hegemony the power and dominance groups of
  people have over others. The influence of groups
  in a society to essentially lead and dominate
  other groups in society. Within sport hegemony
  may occur by influencing decision making of
  groups and individuals, through the encouragement
  of male and female stereotypes through the
  dominance of certain sports within the media.
• Eg big nations vs small nations,
• stereotypical sports cycling,

Scientism

• the belief that the only valid and valuable
  sources of knowledge are those that have been
  affirmed through strict scientific methods. They
  view the body as something that be modified or
  enhanced. Similar to how a Ferrari mechanic may
  view the race cars they work on. Eg
  doctors/physicians and athletes, exercises
  physiologists, adidas sports centre

Commodification of sportspeople

• involves placing a certain value on different
  sports and athletes and transforming the
  sports/athletes into a commodity this in turn
  results in the treatment of athletes and sports
  as a product that can be exchanged and
  manipulated.Eg Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods
  (Nike),

Previous Exam Question

• In many ways, globalisation has been beneficial
  for sport. The evidence also includes the
  increasing opportunities that athletes, coaches,
  and leaders, have been able to access because of
  the global nature of sport. Source (adapted)
  Thibault, L. (2009). Globalisation of Sport An
  Inconvenient Truth. Journal of Sport Management.
  23 (1), pp 120.Commentators find evidence of
  globalisation in international sports media
  spectacles, geographically mobile sports,
  advertising, promotion, marketing, and packaging
  practices. In the end, none can escape, and
  each has the same (dirty!) look.Source
  (adapted) Miller, T., Lawrence, G., McKay, J.,
  and Rowe, D. (2001). Globalization and Sport
  Playing The World. London Sage. (p 13).
