Struggles in the past have practical implications today: over organization and purpose, who can/cannot play, how activities should be integrated into people"s lives. Doing" history, as historiography: problem with data reliability is the sources and interpretation, historians create history, not uncover" or reconstruct" the past, multiple perspectives, biases, problematic assumptions. We can actually change the past nothing around us is permanent about nationalism sometimes we need to change them it transforms historical givens into historical contingencies sports participation: applies an aspiration than a specific body part. Not neutral values are woven into sports. Certain body types have a learned aesthetic value. Our appreciation for nationalism has to be shaped. We don"t come out of the womb and know what it means to be canadian. The idea of a nation doesn"t exist, it had to be created. Historians create stories about the past that fuel our sense of nationalism.
