Sport Tourism, Island Territories and Sustainable Development
Roving consumers of pleasure
Mega sporting events, such as the FIFA World Cup, Olympic Games and Super Bowl, are often constructed as corresponding sites of bodily tourism, with a shared motivation among some tourists to purchase and consume both commercialized sport and sex.

The question of whether college athletes are exploited is regularly debated in the popular press and academic literature about college sports.

With this longitudinal, multistudy comparison, it is revealed that the game …

It argues how soccer as ethnic subculture has provided a means for minority ethnic communities to construct a unique cultural identity while becoming a part of an emerging multicultural nation.
