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.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aAmerican football2bicssc 7aSports & outdoor recreation2bicssc  aculture  afootball1 aDavis, Wade4edt1 aDavis, Wade4oth1 aGeorge, Kimberly B.4edt1 aGeorge, Kimberly B.4oth1 aLeonard, David J.4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/3944670zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92481d92481
