Oct/27-tutorial/ kine 1000 (326 bethune 12:30 to 1:30 wednesdays) Sport is highly masculinized and men are afraid that women would enter the sports and take over them. The reason why we keep women in sport is because they"re an entertainment for boys. Women sexualize themselves in order to make money and become a public figure, so basically they"re sexualizing themselves to be considered something. Sport is a form of cultural representation. Sport can teach us lessons about the society that we grew up. Marginal groups: groups that are distinct from society (e. g. chinese immigrants, people with disabilities). Sport is informing of certain stereotypes in a society (e. g. black people run faster) In sports, representation is almost never neutral, the dominant group that is represented in a way that benefits them; the marginal groups, when they are represented, it benefits the dominant groups. 3 aspects of representation: content and contest.
