During the past two decades a host of subdisciplines dedicated to the study of sport and physical education have emerged. Sport sociology was one of the most prolific among them in producing research. In turn, it has also elicited the most discussions about the quality, methodology, and rationale of its scholarship. This paper aims to highlight some of the epistemological problems sport sociology faces in studying culture and dissemination of knowledge gained from pertinent research. It argues that beyond a mandate to conduct research, sport sociology must also communicate its finding to scholars, professionals, and the general public
