Document Summary
Violence hit, crunch, and burn : organized violence and men s sport by v. burstyn. Simpson and mark fuhrman (supposed racist white officer central to simpson s prosecution) y actually more similar than they d think because they share in this coercive entitlement. all are physically policed by organized groups of armed and violently instrumental men (based on the force majeure: constructed in military and paramilitary structures and in men s professional sports. Sports journalism doesn t usually focus on how sports celebrate force/pain/aggression: not always the case (example: brunt talks about how boxing teaches you to kick a man when he s down; the opposite of what society teaches) Sport sanctions forms of violence that would be unacceptable outside of the arena or playing field: ex: increased fighting in all levels of hockey and football. In football the real issue lies with injuries (lasting ones), not deaths.
