Sport and the City
At the turn of the twentieth century, sports were occasional and unregulated events played by members of local sports clubs. By the latter half of the century, small hometown rivalries gave way to regional and international urban mega‐events produced for global television audiences. As has been the case since the rise of sport in an urban‐industrial context, ethnic assimilation, class conflict, control of urban space, and race and gender relation…
Not an “Extraordinary Event”
In this article, which was delivered as the Alan G. Ingham Memorial Lecture to the 37th annual conference of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport, I extend Ingham’s ideas regarding sport as civic ritual and combine it with my own work on the relationship between sport and the increasing militarization of US cities in the post 9/11 era. I suggest that militarized civic rituals have now become an ever-present feature of urban life …
Sport and the Urban
This chapter presents the broad trends in the sociology of sport scholarship that, much like the field of urban studies and sociology more generally, defy neat compartmentalization. It considers several themes around which to organize the material, each representing a current focus of sport and the urban scholarship. The chapter explains how each theme has developed over time, identifies key sociologically oriented theorists associated with each,…
Assessing the sociology of sport
On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, Kimberly Schimmel, one of the leading scholars on sport, urban policy and the political economy of development reviews the trajectory of research into the relationship between cities and sport. Three principal themes are identified: city-building - politics and profits; city-life - culture and community; and city-space - semblance and spectacle. The current challenges are then outlined: for example, t…
Protecting the NFL/ militarizing the homeland
In this article I focus on intersections between the National Football League's (NFL) security practices and the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) counter-terrorism agenda, including new policies and legal structures that support pre-emption, protection, and preparation activities that manage and mitigate the effects of terrorist attacks. As I will argue, the intensifying and mutually supportive relationship between the NFL and the vario…
From ‘Violence-complacent’ to ‘Terrorist-ready’
This study focuses on emerging discourses of stadium and event security at the US National Football League’s (NFL) annual Super Bowl game. Unlike the championship series in other US sports leagues in which games are located in the cities of the teams that qualify, the NFL’s Super Bowl game is ‘awarded’ to cities after a competitive bidding process. The Super Bowl provides an interesting case study because football stadia are now developed based n…
Sport and the City
As even a casual observer may recognize, the phenomenon of contemporary sports bears little resemblance to that of the fairly recent past. At the turn of the twentieth century, sports were occasional and unregulated events played by members of local sports clubs. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, an individual's association with sport might have been limited to participant, spectator, or consumer of sport news mainly through radio or newspaper. …
Keep Your Fans to Yourself
