About this product
Product Information
What does it mean when a hit that knocks an American football player unconscious is cheered by spectators? 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.

Reviews
'This collection represents a topical and worthwhile contribution to the growing body of scholarship that probes American football's cultural power and politics. Its coverage of such a broad range of topics--from able-ism to Black Lives Matter to social media to domestic violence--usefullydemonstrate football's enduring and multifaceted role as a framework through which to consider popular culture's problems and potential.'- Travis Vogan, Assistant Professor, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Iowa, USA 'David J. Leonard, Kimberly B. George, and Wade Davis have put together a timely and potent compendium of essays on football and the social, historical, political, and economic forces that shape the playing field. The authors skilfully address the intersection of football and issues of race, gender, sexuality, commodification, violence, and popular culture. With essays that examine theories of embodied practice, politics, and power, Football, Culture and Power is a must read for sports studies and cultural studies scholars.'- Samantha Sheppard, Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies, Cornell University, USA
