Document Summary
Thinking about the future: social construction, sports & p. a. practices are social constructions; they can be invented, redefined, and changed. It is mostly individuals viewing the sport on their television as it goes on: participation (and pleasure, will grow as connections" are valued over confrontation and domination. Image belgian bull and bodybuilder (there should be an image of a bodybuilder there) If you encounter human it is on steroids, but the animal is completely legal: the human is using steroids in order to improve and be better than the rest. Issues with power and performance sports: 1. Regulation of technology: can make biological changes (steroids) with advances in technology, there are issues with the para-sports using their equipment, 2. Guaranteeing fairness: how you regulate the coherence of the body, para-sports are always questioning who is allowed, 3. Minimization of injury/maximization of access: these three things will soon be available for us as a commodity.
