A Reexamination of Salary Discrimination in Major League Baseball by Race/Ethnicity
This paper extends previous research examining salary differentials by race/ethnicity in major league baseball. Our analysis adds to previous research by using career statistics for both hitters and pitchers, and, for the pitcher category, both starters and relievers. We also examined race/ethnicity two ways: (a) according to the standard three categories of white, black, and Hispanic and (b) according to five categories—white, black U.S. born, b…
Social Control in Sport
Much of the research on athletic officials has focused on their psychological traits. Researchers have considered the officials’ social world, as well as the emergent and processual nature of their activities in game situations. The present research provides an analysis of data on referees as they enforce rules and norms within the fluid context of basketball games. Quantitative data were collected from a survey of 689 high school basketball offi…

The Academic Preparation and Achievement of Black and White Collegiate Athletes
Data on all varsity athletes at a major university over a ten-year period were examined to assess the differences, if any, between whites and blacks in precollege academic preparation and college achievement. White athletes scored higher than their black peers on every measure of academic potential-ACT, SAT, high school rank, and high school grade point average. These differences in preparation translate into greater academic success in college f…
The Home Advantage in Collegiate Basketball
This study substantiates the notion of a home advantage for the sport of basketball. The findings indicate that home teams win 66% of their games and this advantage is as important for game outcomes as team quality. However, the advantage varies according to the quality of home and visiting teams. The paper provides a review of the Durkheimian perspective, which views the home team as a representative of the home collectivity that draws support f…
Interlocking Ownership Among the Major Banks
Organizational Linkages among the Inner Group of the Capitalist Class
This study investigates the non-corporate organizational linkages among the inner group of the capitalist class, defined as those who are interlocked with three or more corporations. To the extent that persons already linked through corporate ties also are connected through common memberships in business organizations, social clubs, and other voluntary organizations, the likelihood of a national cohesive power elite is increased. The corporate da…
Are Athletes Also Students? The Educational Attainment of College Athletes
Though the educational attainment of college athletes has become a major concern in the United States, there has been little research on the relationship between participation in college sports and educational attainment. We studied more than two thousand athletes over 10 years at a major western university and found that athletes were less prepared for college and achieved less academically in college than the general student population. All ath…
The corporate inner group
The inner group of the economic elite is composed of those persons who are directors in more than one major corporation. Using government data on interlocking directorates among the top 130 corporations, this paper examines the frequency of interlocks among the 13 largest (holding one‐eighth of the nation's corporate assets). The data show that each of these 13 companies had an average of 4.5 direct and 122.5 indirect links with the others. Twent…
Current and Future Orientations
The purpose of the study was to assess the present and future status of the Sociology of Sport. A sample of 36 individuals who have published or taught extensively in the field were sent questionnaires for information regarding themselves and their educa tional institutions. Results demonstrated that over 66 percent of the respondents spend 50 percent or more of their research time in the field of Sport Sociology. The most popular areas of intere…
