Engaging Sports<\/em>\u00a0provides sociologically-informed analysis to\u00a0help readers think about sports in a way that goes beyond the scores, highlights, and statistics. The site is intended for sport participants, fans, coaches, administrators, students, media members, and anyone else interested in better understanding sports in society.\u00a0Engaging Sports<\/em> is an official publication of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS)<\/a>. Broadly, the mission of NASSS is to promote, stimulate, and encourage the sociological study of play, games, sport, and physical culture.<\/p>\n

Readers of Engaging Sports<\/em>\u00a0should realize that NASSS is an organization comprised of individual scholars throughout the world. Thus, the ideas expressed on this site are the views of particular individuals, not those of the organization as a whole.<\/p>\n
